This is the most emotionally honest episode I’ve ever recorded.
In today’s conversation, Shaun Arora returns to The Neurodivergent Report to discuss Microsoft research on work–life balance, but the fullness of what really happened is way more useful.
Listen now to co-regulate with me from all things overwhelm, chronic illness, and executive dysfunction.
If you feel dizzy surviving a world that won’t slow down for you, this episode will meet you exactly where you are.
*TRIGGER WARNING; crying*
Curious what’s inside:
Why Microsoft’s “time spent = goal acheived” model falls apart for ADHD and chronic illness
Why rigid systems don’t work for brains that fluctuate
The somatic signs of emotional overload
How to transition after a moment of dysregulation
Vulnerability as leadership: find the courage to let yourself be witnessed
However you are able to engage, thanks for being here!
With love, Sarah 💜

The Brothers Ortiz
The Brothers Ortiz is the story of two brothers–both successful, but in very different ways. Gabe Ortiz becomes a third-highest ranking officer in all of Texas while his younger brother Larry climbs the ranks in Puro Tango Blast, a notorious Texas Prison gang. Gabe doesn’t know all the details of his brother’s nefarious dealings, and he’s made a point not to ask, to protect their relationship. But when Larry is murdered during a home invasion in a rented beach house, Gabe has no choice but to look into what happened that night. To solve Larry’s murder, Gabe, and the whole Ortiz family, must ask each other tough questions.
