I usually post my episodes every week or every other.
Episode 48 (year 2): Neurodivergent (ND) Brains vs. Neurotypical (NT) Ones
Have you ever wondered how your brain is different from an NT because you are Neurodiverse? I definitely have. My brain is wired differently so I think in different ways than NTs do. And I tend to overthink things and make them bigger, more difficult than necessary. I have gotten better at not having them bug me as much though because that doesn't do any good.

Episode 28 (year 2): NLDers Need Love, Support, and Advocacy
Have you ever wished you could be loved, supported, or advocated for more? Or felt like you wish others needed you or your help? I have felt these emotions due to NLD. Fortunately for me, I do have a supportive family that does advocate for me but sometimes I wish others outside my family would do the same. But how can they if they don’t know what NLD is? Aren’t aware of it? Or don’t know how to help me and others like me? This is why I advocate for myself and others more because I suspect that may not have enough of that in their life from the ones who they need it from the most.
