Stop. Drop. & ROLE is stirring things up! Every month I will now showcase a guest interview with a fresh topic - a new perspective of leadership from an amazing author, advocate or simply great human.
Today's topic is something that every breathing person should understand more about...
In this episode I sit down with Rachel Radway, a certified coach, best selling author of "Perceptive", and expert in neurodivergent leadership. Rachel brings her deep experience working with high-achieving women who are wired a bit differently - often highly sensitive, sometimes overlooked.
Together, we explore what it means to lead as a neurodivergent person in todayโs workplace. From Rachelโs personal story of burnout and transformation in rural Peru to the ways neurodivergence shapes boundaries, problem-solving, and emotional resilience - this conversation is packed with insight and heart.
Youโll hear honest dialogue around avoiding labels, honoring differences, and recognizing the hidden signs of burnout - especially for those whoโve been told theyโre โtoo muchโ, "weird" or โtoo different.โ Rachel also offers resources for those curious about masking, hormonal impacts on brain function, and how to lead from a place of self-love and strength.
Rachel also talks about what it's like to age as a neurodivergent woman, how it impacts things like hormones and living authentically in a space that is surrounded by self-love.
If youโve ever felt out of step with the typical leadership mold, this episode is your reminder that there's nothing wrong with your wiring - it might just be your superpower.
