In a world where sharing your beliefs can cause a divide, exchanging controversial thoughts through an open, accepting, and honest conversation is refreshing. Today's guest, Charlotte Thaarup-Owen and I have very different beliefs when it comes to spirituality. However, when looking closer into it, we both realized we long for the same outcome - to become better individuals. In this episode, Charlotte and I dug deep into the concept of fairness in the universe. Does the universe have our back, or does fate have a twisted sense of humor? I was more on the optimistic side of things, while Charlotte considered herself leaning toward pessimistic. However, this conversation turned out to be insightful because we got to see where the other was coming from. We also discussed ways to be mindful of thoughts, decisions, diet, and lifestyle.

Neurodiversity encapsulates the idea that we experience and interact with the world differently. There is no one "right" way of thinking, learning, and behaving. Therefore, being neurodivergent is not a disability. According to my guest, Dr. Ned Hallowell, to call it a disorder is a huge mistake. It's a trait that, if managed well, becomes a superpower. In this episode, Dr. Ned describes ADHD as having a brain with a Ferrari engine and bicycle brakes. Although it's tricky to navigate and maneuver, modern psychiatry and medicine have opened new and better ways for neurodivergent people to deal with their daily lives more easily. Dr. Ned and I talked more in detail about neurodiversity, ADHD vs. ADD, dyslexia and the best approaches for parents and diagnosed individuals. Tune in!
