In this episode I sit down with Marcy Caldwell, @dr.marcycaldwell to dive into the beautiful complexities of relationships when neurodivergence is part of the picture. We explore the unique strengths and challenges that neurodivergent individuals bring to relationships—whether romantic, familial, or friendships. Marcy shares her personal experiences and wisdom on how neurodivergent brains can foster deep connections, creativity, and resilience, while also navigating struggles like communication differences, emotional regulation, and misunderstandings.
We discuss how these dynamics play out in various types of relationships, offering insights into embracing both the joys and the tough moments. You’ll hear about the unique strengths neurodivergent individuals bring to relationships, the common struggles they face, and practical ways to navigate them with compassion. Marcy opens up about her own journey, sharing relatable stories and lessons learned along the way.
It was a fun, heartfelt conversation packed with practical takeaways for anyone in or supporting neurodivergent relationships.
