Join us as we sit down with the incredible Maya Light to unravel the complexities of neurodiversity, exploring the highs, lows, and everything in between.

From the pressure to mask our true selves to the emotional toll of feeling different, Maya opens up about the common experiences neurodiverse women face. Have you ever found yourself trying to blend in, only to lose touch with your intuition and make choices that lead to stress and burnout? If so, you're not alone.

In this engaging conversation, we'll discover the unique traits neurodiverse females share, the joys of special interests, and the deep connections they have with nature. But it's not just about the challenges—Maya guides us through a transformative journey of rediscovering joy, breaking free from societal expectations, and embracing a life that aligns with our true selves.
