Join me in my interview with Dr. Kristen Williamson—licensed professional counselor, neurodivergent advocate, and proud ringleader of a “neurospicy” family. Her life is a whirlwind of late-night epiphanies, busting mental health myths, and finding joy in the chaos of navigating autism, ADHD, and parenting kids who keep her on her toes. She has always felt like she was dancing to her own beat—but nobody gave her the playlist. It wasn’t until adulthood that she discovered she was neurodivergent, and suddenly, her quirks and challenges made sense. That “ah-ha” moment didn’t just change her life—it gave her a mission to help others embrace their differences and thrive.
Now, she combines humor, personal stories, and practical advice to tackle big topics like:
- Why neurodivergent brains are the secret weapon every workplace needs.
- How to turn “chaotic energy” into a leadership superpower.
- And why mental health isn’t all doom and gloom.
When she’s not counseling clients or speaking on neurodiversity and DEIB (Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging), you’ll find her debating the merits of pineapple on pizza, perfecting her meme game, or plotting her next adventure with her husband
