Neuro Revolution
Sharing the stories of neurodivergent entrepreneurs, creatives, and changemakers - rebel minds changing the world.
The world wasn't made for us. So we're creating a new one - where we all get to thrive.
Join Jennilee (she/they) as she shares her own stories and insights along with their guests. As a late-discovered neurodivergent person, Jennilee has a deep passion for seeing our community thrive having personally experienced different struggles and challenges in their own life. And yet, as Albert Camus says, "In the midst of winter, I found there was, within me, an invincible summer."
May this be an inspiration to you to create a life and work in the world that is neuroaffirming, allowing you to shine your unique strengths and meet your unique needs. Because the world needs more of you in it.
