EPISODE 38 - Are You Tired of Pretending Your Brain Is Normal?

About this episode

Kylie Angel discusses living with ADHD and autistic traits, exploring themes of masking and self-discovery.

I didn't plan on questioning my brain again, but here we are. In this episode, I talk about ADHD, autistic traits, masking, shame, and what it's like living with ten radio stations playing in your head at once. No labels, no scripts... Just honesty, self-discovery, and learning how to live the second act of life as your truest self.
