It's All Her

In therapy with Em Rusciano

Jordy is BEYOND excited to be joined by Em Rusciano this week. It was Em's honesty & advocacy that gave Jordy that 'oh shit, I am DEFINITELY ADHD' moment.

Jordy and Em unravel the layered experiences of neurodivergent women. From the difficult diagnostic experience to what comes after.

The conversation is a little scattered because, 2 ADHD women, but we hear all about Em's life both pre and post diagnosis.

How is she mothering differently post-diagnosis?

What was it like working in the media while undiagnosed?

And lastly, a thought that's probably crossed a lot of neurodivergent minds; How would life have been different if she'd been diagnosed earlier?

Like the title of this ep suggests, it's a little like a therapy session from someone who is a little further along in their ADHD/autism experience.

If you loved this ep and want to learn more, listen to Em's new podcast ANOMALOUS: a 5 part love letter to the neurodivergent community & a roadmap for neurotypical people.
