What do you need - not just what you want? It's a challenge to unpack the often-messy intersection between personal needs, social expectations, and workplace dynamics. Don't force yourself to go to that event if you don't have the spoons for it. The LAST thing you want to do is crash and burn and stay at home the next day because you've got nothing left to give. Whether it's navigating sensory overload at an event or pushing through discomfort because you feel like you "have to," this episode challenges you to be radically honest with yourself. Learn how to distinguish between wants, needs, and obligations—and how to advocate for what truly helps you thrive as a neurodivergent person.
