Wired Differently Series
A series that gives you the missing vocabulary to understand, honor, and support neurodivergent lives.
The Wired Differently Series is not just a set of guides—it’s a lifeline. For many of us, living with a neurodivergent brain has meant carrying confusion, shame, and constant misunderstanding. We grow up absorbing messages that tell us to just try harder, fit in, blend in, be normal—without ever being given the language to explain what’s really happening inside us.
This series changes that. When we finally learn the right words—executive dysfunction, alexithymia, rejection sensitive dysphoria, overwhelm, burnout—something shifts. What once felt like failure suddenly makes sense. What once felt like weakness becomes a difference we can honor. The power of understanding and vocabulary is life-changing; it opens doors to compassion, connection, and radical acceptance.
Readers often describe being stunned by the depth of recognition in these pages—amazed that no one ever gave them these words or concepts before. The impact is life-altering: with this new understanding, something cracks wide open. What once felt hidden or impossible to explain finally comes into focus, and that relief is so powerful. The Wired Differently Series doesn’t just explain neurodivergence; it reframes it with clarity and compassion, offering language, tools, and hope to anyone seeking to understand and support brains that work differently.
Parents
You’re not failing—you were just given the wrong manual. The Wired Differently Series offers the one you should have had all along: a guide rooted in understanding, compassion, and the right words to finally make sense of your child’s world.
Partners
Loving a neurodivergent partner can feel confusing when all you’ve been given are the wrong instructions. The Wired Differently Series offers a new lens—one built on compassion, clarity, and the right language to deepen understanding and strengthen connection.
Self
You’re not broken—you were just given the wrong manual for your own brain. The Wired Differently Series offers the one you’ve been waiting for: grounded in compassion, clarity, and the right words to finally understand and honor yourself.
What to Expect:
Each Session explores a different theme, combining practical insight with lived experience:
-
Sessions 1 & 2: Understanding Our Wiring – Building a Strong Foundation
We’ll explore what it really means to be neurodivergent, moving beyond deficit-based labels to see ADHD, Autism, and PDA as natural brain differences. Using tools like the “oven knob” metaphor, we’ll build a foundation of vocabulary and understanding that transforms confusion and shame into clarity and compassion.
-
Session 3: Executive Functioning – The Basics & Navigating Daily Life
Executive dysfunction impacts every part of daily living, from starting tasks to managing time and emotions. In this session, we’ll uncover why it happens, how uneven productivity shows up, and practical strategies to work with our wiring instead of against it.
-
Session 4: Emotional Regulation – Overwhelm, Meltdowns, Shutdown & Burnout
Emotional dysregulation, overwhelm, meltdowns, shutdowns, and burnout aren’t character flaws—they’re neurological events triggered when demands or inputs exceed our brain’s capacity. This session focuses on recognizing these experiences, supporting ourselves or loved ones through them, and creating emotional safety plans.
-
Session 5: Navigating Different Environments – Home, School, and Work Considerations
Accommodations are not about lowering expectations—they’re about creating access and honoring different brain wiring. Together, we’ll explore practical supports for school, work, and home that reduce harm, increase connection, and make thriving possible.

This series is the foundation for understanding, honoring, and supporting neurodivergent lives, so I want to make it abundantly accessible. You can engage with it in the way that fits you best: as a self-paced video-on-demand course (coming soon), as a 1:1 virtual series with me, or in a supportive group setting offered weekly. If cost is a barrier, please don’t hesitate to reach out—I believe this work should be available to anyone who needs it.
* This series is offered free of charge to foster and adoptive parents, as well as current teachers, in recognition of the vital role you play. Simply email with a note of your role, and I’ll get you enrolled. I’m also committed to making this work accessible to everyone—if cost is a barrier, please reach out so we can find a way forward together.
