Unravel the mysteries of the neurodivergent brain with my special guest, Angela Lauria, host of the Autistic Culture Podcast. Drawing from her personal experiences, Angela offers a unique lens to view the world of neurodivergence, likening it to being an orchid in a tulip garden. We journey with her through an enlightening exploration of neurodiversity, discussing the need for special accommodations and how they help neurodiverse people feel safe and accepted.

Discovering one's passion can be a lifelong journey, and sometimes, it takes losing something significant to find it. The journey towards that passion often involves a process of loss, self-discovery, and growth. Most of the time it’s a rough road. However, it doesn’t mean that it won’t lead to fulfilling and rewarding outcomes.

We are usually witness to two initial reactions when someone, particularly a child, is diagnosed with Autism. The first one is of concern and fear about all the things that can’t or won’t happen. The second is in embracing and understanding all that autism adds to the world.   Our next guest deliberately chose the second when diagnosed with autism as she turned 40 - realising she suddenly had a very clear explanation and deep understanding of just why her life had played out the way it had. 

Since receiving her diagnosis, Angela has been on a real journey with exercise, thought work, and life in general. Tune in this week to discover how Angela has processed her neurodiversity, and why she believes understanding her neuropathy has allowed her to become a better exerciser. We’re also discussing the work Angela has done in understanding who she is, how to show up authentically, and how to use a diagnosis like this to be gentler with yourself, whatever you’re trying to achieve.
