The week before my 40th birthday this year I was diagnosed with ADHD and it's completely turned my world upside down (and right side up??) So, of course, I wanted to do an episode about ADHD... pronto!

Sebastian Clarke, Intimacy Coach and Educator with TurnON.love, was the perfect guest to dive into so many of the neurodivergent topics I've been obsessing over lately. In this episode we really focus on ADHD and relationships including questions like:

• How does having ADHD impact our relationships?
• What are some common challenges we might face?
• How can ADHD show up in our sex lives?
• How to talk to someone that you think might have ADHD and may not know it?
• What are some tips for ADHD folks to navigate relating in a neurotypical world?
• Are my fidget toys loud enough to be heard on this podcast? ;)

Plus, a whole lot more. Seb and I both share some personal stories as we traverse the vulnerable complexities of being neurodivergent ourselves and wanting to talk about all the things!

Rachel Alexandria (former psychotherapist turned Soul Medic) and I nerd out on everything Enneagram in this episode that I believe has something for everyone... whether you've never even heard of the Enneagram before today or you're an experienced student and user of it.

We not only share our own personal experiences but we get into each different type, how to best figure out what your type is, wings, stress/growth directions, the triads, and the three instincts. Rachel also shares a new-to-me way of understanding and remembering the 9 Enneagram Types that I found really interesting!

Rachel apprenticed learning the Enneagram nearly 20 years ago and currently teaches classes called Enlightening with the Enneagram to a variety of small companies and organizations, and also created a video program called Tapping for Your Enneagram Type.

Michael Weiss-Malik is the inventor and founder of Groove Thing, the world's first internal music player. He's also a client of mine, and now a friend. I was really excited to hear more about his professional story because we have a lot in common! He shares with us his journey of becoming pretty burned out in his corporate career and how this career crisis and (a short-lived) sabbatical turned into him inventing Groove Thing and eventually launching it as a business. It is a true intersection of his passions: music, sex, and tech.

We also dive into the vulnerability of becoming a business owner in the sex toy and broader sex positive industries, and how that has brought even more fulfillment and alignment in his life and career.
