In this episode of the Art of Balance podcast, we're joined by Marcia Brissett Bailey, a prominent figure in neurodiversity advocacy. Marcia shares her insightful journey as a black, neurodivergent woman navigating the challenges posed by societal structures. She touches on critical themes such as education's impact on neurodiverse individuals, the intersectionality of race, class, and neurodiversity, and the importance of visibility and voice for marginalised communities.

Through personal anecdotes and reflections, Marcia and Jayne discuss how various forms of systemic bias and trauma contribute to burnout and the significance of inner work and therapy in healing and empowerment. This episode is a deep dive into the complexities of living at the intersection of multiple identities and the steps we can take towards a more inclusive and understanding society.
