Neurodivergence is often misunderstood, mislabeled, or hidden behind stereotypes that overlook the true complexity of living with a brain that works differently. In this episode, we explore the common misconceptions that fuel stigma, how these perceptions impact mental health and daily life, and why shifting toward understanding and acceptance is critical. Stephanie Ulven shares insights from her extensive background in holistic wellness, mental health, and education, offering both compassionate perspectives and practical tools to help foster inclusion, reduce judgment, and create safer spaces for neurodivergent individuals.
