In this episode, we dive headfirst into the heavy and necessary topic of the colonization of neurodivergence with Christina Schmidt.

I'm going to be honest with you: listening back, this conversation hit me with a wall of shame, guilt, and embarrassment. As an ADHD woman with a late diagnosis, verbally processing in real-time is how my brain works , but in my effort to unmask and unlearn, I ramble, I overtalk, and I didn't ask the deep questions I planned to. I was so embarrassed I almost didn't post this.

But this is what real-time self-awareness and unlearning looks like. It's often messy, awkward, and even cringe. The goal isn't to be perfect, it's to get curious about your discomfort.

As you listen, I invite you to turn the lens inward. Don't worry about doing well or getting it all right—just reflect and process:

• What in this conversation triggers your nervous system?

• Where does shame, guilt, or defensiveness show up for you?

• Are you willing to face the parts of the problem that benefit you?

• Are you choosing curiosity, or shutting down in judgment?

  
  

Our growth is in the honest reflection, not the initial performance. Remember: it's ok to TRIPP as long as its forward... Let's unlearn, grow, and get real af.
