For twenty years, my identity was neat and externally legible. Name. Rank. Role. Then, almost without ceremony, that structure ended. I am in the space between who I was and who I am becoming. It is quieter than I expected. Stranger too. Change is not a switch you flip. It is a nervous system recalibrating, a grip loosening, a life slowly rearranging itself around truth.

For as long as I can remember, words have been my safest place. Before I had the language for “autistic” or “ADHD,” before I knew what masking was, I knew how to disappear into a page. As an author and screenwriter, I’ve always gravitated to writing as my main form of creativity.

I’ve been there, fumbling with tools and strategies that promised the moon but barely got me off the ground. But here’s the thing - empowerment isn’t about fitting in; it’s about finding the right tools to amplify your unique voice. So, buckle up.

If you’re wondering how to make your leadership style more inclusive, especially for neurodivergent individuals, you’re in th

It’s messy, complex, and often wrapped in layers of misunderstanding and some antiquated ideas that seem rooted in the dark ages. I’ve stumbled through my own journey, tripping over assumptions and stereotypes, trying to make sense of what it means to live with a brain that doesn’t quite tick the usual boxes. If you’re here, you might be on a similar path, o

Let’s be honest. Navigating the world when your brain dances to a different beat can feel like trying to solve a Rubik’s cube blindfolded (please be aware unlike my oldest son and daughter who can complete them...I cannot, and I find them really bloody irritating). I’ve been there, tangled in the chaos of sensory overload, executive dysfunction, and the endless quest for understanding. But here’s the thing - there are tools out there that don’t just help you cope but empower

I’ve always found the world a bit of a puzzle. Bits don’t quite fit the way others expect, and sometimes, I’m left wondering if I’m the...
