Gathering your teams and community to strategize, plan, and problem solve can be a powerful experience and build deep trust with your colleagues.

Done right, it can also be an opportunity to hold more inclusive meetings for neurodivergent team members.

There’s a lot of social media chatter about ADHD these days, and it’s mostly a good conversation to be having. I also know it gets frustrating when it’s the same stereotypes being exploited for likes and shares repeatedly. That doesn’t help people trying to learn about neurodiversity build compassion, and I’ve noticed an uptick of people posting angry and dismissive rants about neurodivergent people. Some of it is downright scary. Even the BBC invested in a weirdly slanted story about people seeking assessment

I got word yesterday that I’ve been nominated for the Untapped 2023 Workplace Inclusion Awards in the Individual Diversity and Inclusion Champion category. I couldn’t be more thrilled!

This may seem like a modest figure in the age of scale but for me it's HUGE. No marketing budget, scant promotions on social media and yet folks are still finding our little podcast.

Weirdly, I have imposter syndrome around my own disabilities. That’s ADHD messing with my self-perception.

Getting diagnosed with ADHD in my 50’s has upended everything I thought I knew about myself.

It’s brought clarity to my career, relationships, mental and physical health. It’s brought tears, laughter, rage, frustration, silliness and insights.

In October, I chatted with CBC about my experience of discovering my neurodivergent brain in my 50’s and a few folks reached out with similar stories and experiences, most of them women. Checking our podcast stats this morning, I noticed 60 % of our listeners identify as women.

Moving through the world with hearing loss and ADHD can be tricky.

Shayla Love just published an excellent story on Vice about the flawed and exploitative glorification of busyness.

I shared some of my thoughts about being driven by imposter syndrome and why working myself to the bone for status and approval is no longer as enticing as it was pre-pandemic.

I've been thinking a lot about the word stigma. It implies a stain, something to be ashamed of and/or disgraced by.
