I Survived the Flight and Still Won’t Load the Toilet Roll

Flying makes me anxious. Not the mild kind. The walls-closing-in, I-need-control kind.Hi, I'm Lauren Howard. You can call me L2. Like other people do. And in this episode of "Different, Not Broken" I talk about what it was like flying with someone who supported me without making a thing of it. No fuss. No questions. No spotlight. Just quiet, steady presence.We get into why that kind of support works so well, especially for anxious and neurodivergent people, and why “are you okay?” is often the least helpful thing you can say.Once you've been inspired to brag, here's where you can do it! - https://differentnotbrokenpodcast.com/voicemailUseful stuffStuff that helps you become awesome even if you're different: https://stan.store/elletwoMy grown up job: https://lbeehealth.com/Timestamped summary00:00 "Therapist as Emotional Support"05:49 "Calm Support During Turbulence"07:26 "Weird Ears and Airplanes"12:32 Toilet Paper Holder Frustrations16:49 "Outgrowing Expectations and Tolerance"18:46 Sibling Conflict and ResolutionMentioned in this episode:Build Your Better courseBuild your better course - https://stan.store/elletwo/p/build-your-betterWanna sponsor this podcasthttp://differentnotbrokenpodcast.com/sponsorsSponsor Different Not BrokenBrag on yourselfWanna brag on yourself for something you've done which you're proud of? https://differentnotbrokenpodcast.com/voicemail
