Emotionally Uncomfortable
“There comes a time and a place when you're over intellectualizing, and you are actually trying to dig for problems. It's a self-fulfilling prophecy.” In this episode, Heather explores the uncomfortable space between knowing something needs to change and actually being willing to change it.

Emotionally Uncomfortable
“No productivity hack, no energetic management tips or tricks are going to be able to solve an identity collapse.” In this episode, Heather dives into the thing high-performing women are actually afraid to say out loud: the very traits that made them successful, performance, optimization, control, fixing, and achieving, are the exact traits that make them “worse” mothers to a neurodivergent child. And watching their playbook fail in real time triggers an identity collapse that no productivity hack or "energy management" tip can solve. The truth is, you can't outperform autism. You...
