🧠 What if everything you thought was "wrong" with you was actually your greatest superpower? In this deeply moving episode, I sit down with Shannon Dwyer, a 31-year-old entrepreneur whose recent ADHD and autism diagnosis didn't just change their life—it saved it.

Shannon's story will resonate if you've ever felt like:

• You're different but couldn't put your finger on why
• Traditional systems and advice never quite worked for you
• You've been masking who you really are to fit into society's expectations
• You're building something meaningful while navigating your own unique brain

• 
  

What We Explore:

• The shocking reality of late diagnosis bias and why so many adults (especially women and non-stereotypical presentations) are missed
• How getting the right vocabulary transformed Shannon's relationships and self-understanding
• The business Shannon's building to support the neurodiverse community through digital decluttering, sustainable systems, and coaching
• Why nomadic living and pet-sitting became Shannon's pathway to financial freedom and authentic living
• The profound moment Shannon realized they were finally "coming home" to themselves

Key Takeaways:

• Understanding your brain's unique operating system is the first step to designing a life that actually works for you
• There's no "one-size-fits-all" approach to success, systems, or even living arrangements
• Sometimes the thing that makes you feel most "different" becomes your greatest gift to the world
• Community and representation matter deeply in the healing journey

This conversation is a powerful reminder that your differences aren't deficits—they're your design. Shannon's journey from feeling disconnected and struggling to fit in, to building a thriving business that serves others like them, is nothing short of inspiring.

Perfect for: Entrepreneurs, late-diagnosed neurodiverse individuals, anyone questioning traditional life paths, digital nomads, and souls seeking authentic living
