In this closing episode of the Brilliant, Not Broken series, Sue speaks directly to those who have been told they’re “too emotional,” “too loud,” “too sensitive,” or “too intense.” This episode is a reminder that your depth, brilliance, and boldness are not flaws; they’re part of your design. You’re not too much. You’re just not for everybody. And that’s a good thing.

In this episode of Brilliant, Not Broken, Sue challenges the hustle-at-all-costs culture by reclaiming rest as a radical, sacred act of self-preservation. For Black women, neurodivergent folks, and anyone navigating anxiety, ADHD, or burnout, this episode is a much-needed reminder: rest is not a reward. It is a RIGHT.

From the outside, we look like we’re handling it all: leading, creating, showing up. But what about the storm happening inside?

In this episode, Sue gets honest about what it means to live, work, and lead while managing ADHD, anxiety, executive dysfunction, and all the other invisible challenges folks rarely see, but often judge.

Whether you're neurodivergent, emotionally exhausted, or simply tired of masking to meet expectations, this one’s for you.

If you've ever stared at your screen for hours, frozen by a to-do list you can't seem to tackle, this episode is for you.

Host Sue A. Webley dives into the myth of laziness and breaks down what’s really happening when your brain refuses to “just do it.” From executive dysfunction to emotional exhaustion, Sue reminds us that managing a neurodivergent brain in a productivity-obsessed world takes real strength.

This is your permission slip to release the guilt, reclaim your rhythm, and honor your capacity.

Listen in, take a breath, and remember: you’re brilliant, not broken.
