This Voice is Mine: the Unquiet Podcast
For every neurodivergent mind that was masked, misread, or missed. Where identity is reclaimed and the system gets named. This Voice Is Mine is a podcast for those who were told they were too much, too sensitive, too chaotic, too intense or not enough.
Hosted by Dr Emma, a clinical psychologist, neurodivergent woman, and unapologetic system disrupter, this podcast explores what happens when difference is pathologised and what becomes possible when we drop the shame, the script, and the medical model.
Through stories, reflections, and conversations with people who were never meant to fit, This Voice Is Mine reclaims the truth of neurodivergent minds, bodies, and ways of being. This is not about fixing or fitting in. It’s about remembering who we are and unlearning everything they got wrong.
