Our guest today, Praxie Osong is the founder of Divergent by Design Co, where she offers neurodivergent-affirming natal chart readings for late-diagnosed ADHD and autistic adults. With astrology as her lifelong passion and a lived experience of neurodivergence, Praxie’s approach centers on self-acceptance, strengths, and “cosmic confidence,” helping clients reframe their stories and embrace their authentic selves. Her sessions are collaborative, empowering, and rooted in the belief that being “Divergent by Design” is something to celebrate, not fix. Praxie’s mission: to create an affirming space where neurodivergent folks feel seen, validated, and inspired to trust their own path. Enjoy!
