Every Day Genius

In today's episode I ask Angie to dig deeper into neurodivergence and what she means by masking and unmasking. She says we all have personas, and we all mask and unmask, but the experience is different for those who aren't neurotypical because they've had to mask in ways the rest of haven't. Her advice is timely for all of us. Angie Dixon is an author, artist and all-around creator...

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe said, "The moment one definitely commits oneself, then Providence moves too." I have always loved that quote, but often I found it hard to believe.

My shift has been profound. Tune in to f...

To give is better than to receive How many times have you heard that in your life? When I hear this, I envision a one-way arrow, and it just doesn't feel right to me.

Giving is a circle. Tune in to find out mor...
