New Episode – Neurodivergent Mates Mates
Breaking the Mould: Without Traditional Education
with special guest Gemma McLean
In this episode, I’m joined by the brilliant Gemma McLean — a neurodivergent powerhouse who’s built a successful and fulfilling life by stepping outside the boundaries of traditional education.
Gemma shares her journey of realising that school wasn’t the right fit, the challenges she faced forging her own path, and how she found growth, learning, and purpose beyond the classroom. We dive into the impact of being neurodivergent, dealing with judgment, and redefining success on your own terms.
If you’ve ever felt like the system wasn’t built for you — this one’s for you.
