Knowing Your Authentic Self (with Maverick Joyce) - Ep74

What is failure, but just another way to learn something new? Have you ever heard the phrase, “What’s hard for you is not what’s wrong with you”? During today’s meal - I speak with an audhd social worker about rejection sensitive dysphoria, building self-advocacy and boundaries, the nuances in the neurodiversity realm, and favorite wintertime activities. — Maverick Joyce, MSW Maverick Joyce is a social worker, coach, and therapist who supports people struggling with rejection wounds to find their boundaries in relationships, confidence in their values and opinions, and self-advocacy without shame. Upon birthing a child into this world as a 30-something, Maverick was identified as AuDHD and they realised they experienced this phenomenon called Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria (RSD). This entire experience was a wake-up call that propelled them into the work they do, and the mission to show people that they don’t have to accept RSD as a lifelong condition. The world needs the authentic shine and embodiment of neurodivergent brains. Maverick combines structural, systemic, ancestral, and interpersonal standpoints through wholistic mind-body-emotion-spirit frameworks to guide people into authentic embodiment of Self. — Follow Maverick!

Just Ask (with Megan Richardson) - Ep70

Does it feel like you are drowning in a sea of unorganized paperwork? Would you have more time to devote to your “why” in the field if you had space to self-advocate? During today’s meal - I speak with a behavior analyst and new mom about what it looks like to advocate for yourself starting right from the interview process, having more time for life outside the field, what her favorite thing is about her job, and planning the perfect new parents’ date. — Megan Richardson, M.A., BCBA, LBA Megan is a Board Certified Behavior Analyst and the creator behind The Organized Analyst, where she helps BCBAs organize their work to cut down on stress, rebalance their days to make space for life outside the field, and build businesses that fit the life they’re dreaming of. Through her signature program, Thrive Academy, Megan is known for her relatable “BCBA Bestie” style that blends systems, mindset, and strategy into practical steps that actually stick. Her mission? To help BCBAs stop running on burnout and start creating a career, and a life, they genuinely love. When she’s not coaching, you’ll find Megan happily color-coding her calendar, quoting early 2000s rom-coms, or soaking up the joy (and chaos) of new mom life. — Follow Megan!
