Jes Diverges (she/they) helps fellow autistic ADHDers and has a fascinating background. We dive into how they ended up coaching rather than finishing their therapy degree... and in the process touch on how messed up some of our culture's attitudes are toward mental health!

While we certainly don't solve the issue of AuDHD mental health, we talk about

when to take a break from trauma healing
how entrepreneurship has been a surprising part of our trauma healing
why insistence on one modality such as CBT doesn't serve us
how to balance individual and community healing

From Jes' website:

As an auDHD coach, I empower fellow autistic ADHDers to understand the unique interplay of the auDHD “combo meal” within their minds, and to let go of perfectionism, people pleasing, and unrealistic neurotypical expectations.

By embracing radical self-love in place of shame, I guide individuals on their journey to confidently navigate the chaotic intricacies of auDHD life and become the audaciously authentic auDHDers they were meant to be.
