From being labeled “too much” to becoming a sought-after fractional COO, she offers real-world insights on building inclusive workspaces, overcoming visionary blind spots, and turning neurodivergence into a superpower. If you've ever felt out of sync with traditional structures—this episode is your permission to lead differently.
