What if your brain is different, not wrong?
LISTEN HERE:
What if the reason you felt different growing up wasn't because something was wrong with you but because the world was simply built for a brain that isn't yours?
In this episode Caitlin and Chantelle are joined by Rachel Moore - systems thinker, people & culture leader, and universe builder - for an honest and generous conversation about neurodivergence, identity clarity, and what it actually means to understand how your brain works.
We get into why so many people, women especially, are only now getting the language for something they've felt their whole lives.
Why the diagnostic system was built around a very specific person, and why that matters.
What the difference is between using neurodivergence as an explanation versus an excuse.
Why knowing one neurodivergent person's needs does not mean you know all of them.
Why the so-called accommodations that neurodivergent people need at work aren't really accommodations at all - they're just better design for everyone.
There is a runaway refrigerator in this one. There are blocks stacked sideways. There is an important distinction between inclusion and meaningful accommodation. And there is Rachel's answer to our closing question that might just reframe the entire ‘let-them’ conversation.
This work is for anyone who has ever felt like their brain was wrong rather than just different. And for everyone who wants to show up for other people.
If anything in this episode stirs something big, please bring it to a friend, a therapist, or someone who loves you.
