In this SAFE SPACE episode, Jess sits down with Chloe Hayden to explore what it’s really like to live as a Neurodivergent Woman.

Chloe is an award-winning actress, author, advocate who's redefining what it means to be neurodivergent in the public eye. Diagnosed with autism at 13 and ADHD at 22, Chloe has spent her life turning difference into power. With her raw honesty and radiant energy, Chloe is the kind of woman young girls need to see in the world.

In this conversation, Chloe opens up to Jess about what it's like to grow up autistic in a world that never felt built for her, from the impact of her diagnosis, to masking her way through burnout as an adult. She explains what masking is, why it can lead to physical collapse, and how learning to rest has become the bravest thing she can do while navigating a neurotypical world. This episode is vital listening for anyone who’s ever felt different, or loved someone who is.
