I usually post my episodes every week or every other.
Episode 15 (year 5): Burnout, Neurodiversity, and Navigating NLD
Today's episode focuses on burnout and being neurodiverse, drawing from the host's personal experience with chronic migraines and NLD (Nonverbal Learning Disorder). The host acknowledges the shared struggles of neurodiverse individuals, many of whom also face chronic pain. The episode will include insights from articles as well as personal experiences to explore the topic.
Today’s episode will be about burnout and being neurodiverse. I experience a lot of this because of having chronic migraines along with NLD. I also know that I’m not the only one who does. I have many friends who are neurodiverse and have chronic pain conditions too. I’ll use some articles to support this episode and my own experience with this too.

Episode 29 (year 4): Challenges of NLD, Chronic Migraines, and PTSD
Do you struggle with more than one incurable condition or learning difference?
Do you struggle with more than one incurable condition or learning difference? Or do you have challenges living with more than one condition or learning difference that are invisible? Do you have issues with there not being a cure for these conditions, diseases, learning differences etc. now or possibly ever?
I would say yes to all of these questions and that has been true for the past 16 years for my PTSD, the past 10 years for NLD and chronic migraines.

Episode 21 (year 4): New name and acronym for NVLD: Development Visual Spatial Disorder or DVSD and Chronic Pain, Hypermobility and Neurodivergence
Did you know that there is a link between neurodivergence and being hyperbolic? Have you heard of why NVLD isn’t in the DSM? And why is the name changing to DVSD or Development Visual Spatial Disorder? Why isn’t there one agreed upon definition for NVLD or DVSD? We’ll be exploring these topics today. The songs I referenced were "Walking Miracles" and "Do Something," by Matthew West.

Episode 44 (year 3): Juggling NLD with Five Podcasts, Full-Time Job, Side Hustle, and Chronic Migraines
I know I have done quite a few episodes on my learning difference and migraines, but I thought I would try to do an episode on how it is for me to juggle that, my personal life, my professional life and my podcast life.
I know I have done quite a few episodes on my learning difference and migraines, but I thought I would try to do an episode on how it is for me to juggle that, my personal life, my professional life and my podcast life. For those of you who don’t know me very well I have a learning difference, called nonverbal, learning disability, chronic migraines, which I’ve had for almost 9 years. And recently I have now five podcasts!

Episode 41 (year 3): NLD, Sleep, Dreams, and Migraines
Do you have challenges with staying asleep, falling asleep or remembering your dreams? Even before I knew I had NLD and the migraines started I had problems with sleeping especially after disclosing about the sexual abuse I had in my childhood to my mom. Now, I use CBD gummies, the “Sleepy” podcast, deep breathing, journaling, and lucid dreaming to help me fall asleep.

Episode 25 (year 2): NLD and Some Relief From My Chronic Pain
Today’s topic is going about relief from chronic pain and how it relates to NLD. Have you ever felt a certain part of your body was hit by a seismic 2by4? Or felt unexplainable or indescribable pain in that part of your body? Or maybe a tingling sensation in your head? Well for me with the chronic migraines that I’ve had for the past 8 years it’s been yes all 3 of those questions.
