About this listen

If you’ve spent your life chasing self-improvement harder than anyone you know — but feeling like you can’t even catch up with people who aren’t trying at all — the problem isn’t you. In this episode, Dr. Jess exposes the ways mainstream self-improvement strategies trap neurodivergent adults in unwinnable wars against ourselves, and explains how real improvement comes from giving yourself permission to be who you are.
