What if the difference between struggling and thriving wasn’t about working harder—but working smarter? In this episode, we’re breaking down what accommodations really are and why they matter for everyone—not just those with official diagnoses.
I’ll share what I’ve learned about self-advocacy, the surprising ways accommodations have reshaped my work and home life, and why balance—not just ease—matters when making things more accessible. Plus, we’ll dive into the myths, misunderstandings, and pushback that often come with asking for what you need.
If you’ve ever felt like you’re pushing through life on hard mode, this episode might just change the way you think about making things possible.
