Episode 16 (year 3): Why Did I Get Handed Such a Difficult Life From God?

This episode is pretty personal to me and it could be triggering for you if you have been sexually abused, had body insecurities, or had difficult experiences in your life. Have you ever wondered why your life is so challenging? Why did God give you such a difficult life? Or why do you have more challenges than others do? I have thought that before. But I know that all the challenges that I went through have made me who I am today. Those challenges include NLD, episodic migraines, sexual abuse, earning trust, radical acceptance, and body insecurities.

Episode 15 (year 3): NLD and Feeling Empty or Lonely

Do you ever feel lonely or empty inside because you must keep trying so hard to appear normal in society due to learning challenges in your life? I have recently felt this way because all my friends are already in relationships with significant others and are married now. I am happy for my friends that this is true for them but they have had an easier time with relationships than I have because they are neurotypical.

Episode 13 (year 3): Body insecurities, NLD, and Sexual Abuse

Have you ever had body insecurities because of being sexually abused or having a learning challenge? Or because of both? For me, I would yes to the second question and add that it’s hard for me to lose weight because of my chronic migraine (sometimes episodic) condition. There are some reasons I can think of why NLD, sexual abuse, and chronic migraines make it harder for me to lose weight.

Episode 10 (year 3): Being an Advocate for Yourself at Work, School and in Personal Life

Have you ever had difficulty advocating for yourself in school, work, or your personal life because you are neurodivergent? I had experienced this many times in my life, especially when I wasn’t working for my parents or trying to describe why I needed extra help from a professor in college. The accommodation programs I used in college for NLD were: Kurizewhiel 3000, Sonnocent, and Audionotaker.

Episode 04 (year 3): What It Is Feels Like Being a ND in a NT World

Have you ever felt alone, lost, or like no one understands you because you’re different from them? Today I want to talk about how it’s hard for people like me who have learning challenges to live in a world that wasn’t built for us. This world was built for Nureotypicals, not neurodivergents. This fact makes it hard for us to function and get through the everyday challenges of life, especially if you have something that is invisible like NLD, ASD, ADHD, Anxiety, chronic pain, etc.

Episode 03 (year 3): Suggested Careers or Jobs for People with NLD

Have you ever wondered what kind of career or job is good and easy for someone with NLD or a Nuerodivergent? In my opinion, a slow to moderately paced job, one with low to medium demands and one where you can be yourself is the right job for a ND.

Episode 52 (year 2): The Invisibility and Visibility of NLD and Other LDs

Two years ago I created this podcast!

Have you ever felt like you are invisible? Have you felt not completely understood by others? Or dismissed by others because they don’t get what your learning disabilities mean to you, or how it has affected your life? I have felt invisible because of having NLD, being sexually abused, and having a chronic migraine condition. I have felt this because I don’t have anyone that I can talk to in person about my challenges.

The next support group is tomorrow, July 16th from 10 am-11:30 am (PT).

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.
