In this episode of Selective Hearing, I sit down with Brannan Sirratt, an ADHD and self-realized autistic mom of four neurodivergent kids, writer, and passionate advocate for supporting authors through the creative process. Brannan shares her journey of discovering her neurodivergence while getting her children assessed, how that revelation reshaped her self-perception, and how it transformed her family dynamic.
We also explore the intersection of creativity and well-being, how the commodification of books can sometimes hinder personal growth, and why writers must find a balance between external pressures and their creative fulfillment. Brannan opens up about navigating overstimulation with her husband's support, the importance of creating an environment that honors neurodivergent needs, and the strategies that help her stay grounded.
