ADHD, Dyslexia & the Brain You Were Born With | Bryan Mark Rigg, PhD

What if the brain you've spent your life fighting was never broken to begin with? In this episode, Jorie sits down with historian, researcher, and Yale graduate Bryan Mark Rigg, PhD - someone who has spent 25 years studying ADHD and dyslexia, not just in the lab, but in his own life, in his children's lives, and across thousands of years of human history. What he shares reframes the conversation entirely. This is not a "you're special" pep talk. It's grounded in evolutionary science, anthropological research, and the kind of historical evidence Bryan has built his career on. And it just might be the episode that changes how you see yourself. ─────────── CONNECT WITH BRYAN MARK RIGG, PhD: Website: https://www.bryanmarkrigg.com RESOURCES Conquering Learning Disabilities at Any Age — Bryan Mark Rigg: https://amzn.to/4xNYGoc Driven to Distraction — Ned Hallowell: https://amzn.to/4eooAaj Man's Search for Meaning — Viktor Frankl: https://amzn.to/43PtdnK Affiliate links above.

ADHD at Work: The Case for Neuro-Inclusion | Tracy King

Why Neuro Inclusion at Work Matters for Women With ADHD Have you ever felt like the workplace was designed for literally everyone except your brain? You are not imagining it. It kind of was. My guest today is Tracy King - speaker, learning strategist, neuro-inclusion advocate, and CEO of Inspired Ed. Tracy has spent over 25 years making learning environments and workplaces actually work for every kind of brain. They are also neurodivergent, and they bring both the research and the lived experience to this conversation. We cover a lot of ground in this one: What neuro-inclusion is and why it is not the same as a DEI checkbox The business case for supporting neurodivergent employees (including some numbers that are hard to argue with) What masking costs neurodivergent women — physically, emotionally, and professionally and more! This is a conversation for every woman with ADHD who has spent years white-knuckling her way through a workplace that did not see her — and for anyone who wants to understand why building more inclusive environments benefits everyone, not just the people who need it most. ─────────── CONNECT WITH TRACY: Website: www.inspired-ed.com LinkedIn: Tracy King CEO ─────────── 🔗 Ready to work on this with someone who gets it?
