The Neurodivergent Creative Podcast

This one is not for the Dave Ramsey fans, sorry. Let's talk about why hustling your life away to get out of debt is maybe not the most supportive and compassionate way for you to live your life. K? K. Love you.  We're talking about debt, and how it's not actually morally bad! We're talking about common money resolutions and why they'll fall apart if you don't have a deep emotional connection...

I see your bullet journal holding the weight of all  your hopes and dreams, and I raise you a hustle-free INTENTION instead. It's time to stop acting like the right notebook is all that separates us from our dreams. Your productivity hacks won't work unless they actually meet your needs and fit the way your brain works. Give yourself permission to try multiple things in order to find the meth...

Only 9% of people sustain their New Years Resolutions throughout the year or achieve their New Year goals. Thus, New Years Resolutions are ACTUALLY A BAD WAY TO SET GOALS. In this essay, I will... In this five-part mini series I'm calling bullshit on the top New Years Resolutions and suggesting a better, more intentional method of planning for a 2023 that gets you closer to your best life and futu...

Self sabotage is trying to protect you from the sticky, icky feelings of vulnerability and shame. In this quick season finale, I'm coaching you on how to thank it and send it on its way. I'm also sharing what I believe is the antidote to self sabotage: a community of creatives alongside you, normalizing the process and sharing the journey.    If you're ready to get some community support...

Intuition, bias, and triggers - what's the difference and how can we navigate them?    Sometimes listening to your gut can be confusing, when your gut is responding to trauma instead of helping you access your intuition.

Sometimes doing the scary thing can completely change your life for the best. Let's talk about it!    This week I'm speaking with Dr. Emee Estacio, who has learned to embrace fear and expand her comfort zone one decision at a time.

"You can't be authentic if you're people pleasing."   To stop people pleasing, you have to know yourself authentically and stop looking for outside validation from others.

"If we're trying to get out of violent culture we have to figure out how to not be so violent ourselves when we're trying to do some good."    Let's talk about community, conflict, and cancel culture. In our earliest form as humans, we had communities, villages, and tribes numbering just a few hundred people that we would have known for most of our lives. The village has gone digital in...

There is no denying that the world is pretty sucky right now. We're still living through a global pandemic, human rights are being rolled back in "the land of the free," and we're still living in a racist, sexist, all-the-phobic kind of society. BUT THAT DOES NOT MEAN YOU STOP CREATING. The hard parts, the dark times, the absolute chaos is where creativity and passion shine a light to guide us thr...

This episode helps guide you to put this season's knowledge and tips into practice to work toward your work-life-play-rest balance — and if...

How we've always thought about it: You can't teach an old dog new tricks, and your thoughts and beliefs are pretty static. But you CAN change your thoughts and believe in new possibilities. Reframing your thoughts is a practice, that requires practice! This episode first features a giant rant about the Supreme Court, and then we start talking about how to shift your self-belief from a self-sabotag...

HAPPY 50TH EPISODE!!!!  Before we dive in I want to let you know that my dog, Gwendoline, was eating an envelope and is very loud toward the end of this episode. I edited out as much as I could! Please forgive her, she is new to podcasting.  OKAY Let's talk about rest! What we know about rest and why it's good: We need it to live! In this episode I offer tips and advice for setting yours...

How we've always thought about it: You need to go for your dreams "in your prime." When you're young and have the energy. Before you "settle down." Adults need to have serious careers. Or if you're creating something new and following a passion, you have to get it up and running FAST for it to be worthy.  But y'all. There's no deadline on your dreams and it takes as long as it takes to do wit...

Hey — you don't have to burn out in order to feel that you deserve to take it easy. (In fact, if you are burned out you probably feel guilty about it). In this episode I'm joined by my friend and client Abi, here to have a conversation about shifting her priorities from work work work to rest as a result of chronic illness. But even if you're not chronically ill, you need to rest way more than you...

Y'all. Buckle up! We are talking privilege, power, and how to use yours to uplift others rather than hiding in it like boo hoo, I shouldn't tell my story. YES TELL YOUR STORY. AND ALSO PAVE THE WAY FOR OTHERS TO DO IT TOO. I'm here with my friend Serena Hicks, BIG Happy Money coach, to talk a little about money, a little about business, and a LOT about how to prove the possible and model empowerme...

When asked that fateful question, "What do you do?" we lead with our day jobs. WHY? There's so much more to you than what you do to make money, and there's more to your day job than just your job title. Whether you're introducing yourself to describe your career or your passion project, Ken Schneck is here to help you craft a killer elevator pitch to get to the heart of your story in four sentence...

We aren't learning how to stop hustling so we can be more productive in different ways or fit new things into the space left behind — we're doing it so we can actually, sustainably, do LESS. This episode is all about how to maintain the space you've created as you've unlearned the hustle, featuring a homework assignment to schedule yourself some rest and examine the thoughts that come up when you...
