...and Other Neurodivergent Roadblocks to Responsibility


*As of October 2025, Trust Issues has evolved into Page of Wands : Roaming Tarot.*



Episode 5: Healing with a Neurodivergent Brain

In this episode of Trust Issues, Nate is joined by his new friend and TikTok's velvet voice, Maggie Gehlsen-Burnett. This sit down for an honest and eye-opening conversation about what it’s like to navigate self-improvement and spiritual growth while being neurodivergent. Together, they explore the unique challenges that come with trying to “better yourself” in a world not built for neurodivergent minds—and how healing often looks different when your brain works differently.

They also get real about the emotional weight of money management, financial responsibility (or the lack of it), and the shame that can build up over time. Maggie brings thoughtful insight, humor, and vulnerability to a conversation that doesn’t get talked about enough.


In this episode:

  • How traditional healing methods can fall flat for neurodivergent folks

  • Spiritual practices that actually work

  • The pressure of personal growth in a neurotypical world

  • The complicated relationship between executive function and money

  • Giving yourself grace while still being accountable



The Road Ahead...
The Airo Mobile Healing Studio (MHS) is Nate’s next chapter—a vanlife-based project focused on accessible, on-the-road healing. Through tarot, movement, and storytelling, Airo MHS aims to bring connection, clarity, and care to people across the country.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist

It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
