Neurodivergence is often misunderstood, mislabeled, or hidden behind stereotypes that overlook the true complexity of living with a brain that works differently. In this episode, we explore the common misconceptions that fuel stigma, how these perceptions impact mental health and daily life, and why shifting toward understanding and acceptance is critical. Stephanie Ulven shares insights from her extensive background in holistic wellness, mental health, and education, offering both compassionate perspectives and practical tools to help foster inclusion, reduce judgment, and create safer spaces for neurodivergent individuals.

Medal of Honor: Stories of Courage
Rewarded for bravery that goes above and beyond the call of duty, the Medal of Honor is the United States’ top military decoration. The stories we tell are about the heroes who have distinguished themselves by acts of heroism and courage that have saved lives. From Judith Resnik, the second woman in space, to Daniel Daly, one of only 19 people to have received the Medal of Honor twice, these are stories about those who have done the improbable and unexpected, who have sacrificed something in the name of something much bigger than themselves. Every Wednesday on Medal of Honor, uncover what their experiences tell us about the nature of sacrifice, why people put their lives in danger for others, and what happens after you’ve become a hero. Special thanks to series creator Dan McGinn, to the Congressional Medal of Honor Society and Adam Plumpton. Medal of Honor begins on May 28.
