Our (probably) final episode! (But don't worry. I started a new show: AuDHD Sparks.) What do we do when the way everyone else leads doesn't match how our brain works? Do we keep trying to force ourselves into their mold, or do we find our own way? Sometimes to "do it right" you actually have to do it 'wrong'. Especially when doing it right just means "how closely do you sound to the models we've been taught?" In this episode: Why my client's "flaws" made her clients feel comfortable and seen ...

Our (probably) final episode! (But don't worry. I started a new show: AuDHD Sparks.)

What do we do when the way everyone else leads doesn't match how our brain works? Do we keep trying to force ourselves into their mold, or do we find our own way?

Sometimes to "do it right" you actually have to do it 'wrong'. Especially when doing it right just means "how closely do you sound to the models we've been taught?"

In this episode:

  • Why my client's "flaws" made her clients feel comfortable and seen (while "perfect" technique just left her disconnected)
  • Discerning between feedback that helps you grow and feedback that's just mainstream or neurotypical expectations 
  • How I stopped trying to correct my neurodivergent quirks and started getting high demand for my services
  • Why so many quiet leaders are actually neurodivergent (and what that means)
  • The birth of AuDHD Sparks and what's next here

Omne Ignotum DERIVA Como humanos, todo lo desconocido nos resulta asombroso e inventamos explicaciones que llenan ese vacío. En este podcast de opinión, análisis y frecuentes desvaríos, abordamos temas de los que no sabemos particularmente nada, ni pretendemos llegar a la verdad última. Sin embargo, ¿quién lo sabe todo?, ¿quién al menos sabe con certeza algo? Aun así, sabemos que la curiosidad por lo desconocido es una puerta al conocimiento (o a otra puerta). Este podcast lo hacemos tres amigos: un profesor, un licenciado y un ingeniero, quienes suscribimos la teoría de las ignorancias múltiples. Unnecessary Stories Kelly Noble Unnecessary stories is about things (stories) that we don’t quite understand or (mystery) in that matter. I love weird stories or theories . Lit & Liquor Lit & Liquor On a rainy day after losing at pub trivia for the 874th time (we still know you cheated, Cave Dwellers), three friends with a mutual love for literature and liquor decided to quit while they were behind and start a podcast instead.Welcome to Lit & Liquor, where the only pretentious thing is our profile picture. We love our books and we love our booze and see no reason not to enjoy them together, recording for y'all's enjoyment.We cover every book genre there is, from our romance novel face off's to book-to-movie adaption to nonfiction to fantasy to classics. We pair these with wine, beer, craft cocktails, and shots, doing all the dangerous tasting work so you don't have to suffer yourself. We hope to impart laughs, tasty drinks, horrible drinks (we all have revenge to serve...), and perhaps a little bit of wisdom. Join us bi-weekly for new episodes, and if you enjoy us--or don't--please leave us a review. DontBeQuiet Shamika Winston My podcast is about learning, growth, understanding, being victimized. A lot of people are afraid to talk about things they go through in life and its time that those things are said. Holding on to things that hurts will continue to hurt you until you free yourself from those things. Love your self & don’t be quiet ❤️
