In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Kristen Williamson to dive into what it means to have a neurodivergent brain—something she playfully refers to as neurospicy. We get real about our own experiences navigating life with neurodivergent minds and explore how neurodivergence shows up differently for everyone. Kristen breaks down the distinctions between autism and other forms of neurodivergence, and why understanding those differences matters.

Whether you're neurodivergent yourself, love someone who is, or just want to understand more—this episode is a must-listen.

In this episode, I talk with therapist Malisa Hepner about the weight of childhood trauma—how it lingers, how it shapes who we think we are, and what it takes to begin healing. We explore what it really means to reparent ourselves, the messy process of learning to love the parts of us we were taught to hide, and how astrology can help make sense of our stories.

Malisa speaks with so much honesty and heart about the work she’s done for herself and the people she helps. If you’ve ever felt stuck in patterns you can’t explain, or wondered where the pain even started—this one’s for you.
