Stepping Off Now: Support for Neurodivergent Creatives
Hello, and welcome to the Stepping Off Now podcast. I'm Kendra, an AuDHD writer, and this is my safe space for talking about the challenges of being a neurodivergent creative and the lessons I'm learning along the way. It's a little bit dark and a little bit visceral, but always honest. I hope that it can be a safe space for you too, where you feel seen and validated wether or not you identify as neurodivergent yourself. All gentle souls are welcome, and my goal is to provide solace and support. The world at large may not understand or appreciate you, but I do. We are not alone in our struggles, and we are stronger and wiser than we know. We can do this.

What happens when someone who hates deadlines decides to try one out? Listen to hear all about my recent experience of setting a deadline for myself to finish my novel. Spoiler: I hit it! In this episode I talk about why I'm usually against deadlines, when they are useful, how to know if you are ready to take the next step in your project and set a big one for yourself, and how to set endogenous deadlines that serve YOU, rather than exogenous ones that serve the gods of toxic productivity.
