Join us  as we unpack the complexities of rejection sensitivity dysphoria and its profound impact on neurodivergent individuals. Listen in as I get personal, sharing the daunting hurdles this fear of rejection has created in my life—from romantic pursuits to launching this very podcast. In a candid conversation with fellow coach Lucas Katz, we reflect on our childhood encounters with emotional sensitivity and how these past experiences have been channeled into a force for empowerment. 


We also discuss the vital role of self-advocacy in medical scenarios, drawing from my own heightened sensitivity during dental visits. The power of effectively communicating one's needs to healthcare professionals cannot be understated, as it paves the way for more compassionate care. We celebrate the strides made in embracing neurodiversity, from the educational sphere to societal norms, and debunk myths surrounding meditation and ADHD. The dialogue illuminates the importance of self-care and understanding, inviting listeners to appreciate the collective benefits that come with the acceptance of neurodiversity.
