What if the way we think about mental health and neurodivergence is all wrong? In this episode, I sit down with Lauren Howard (aka L2)—a fierce mental health advocate and founder of LBee Health, a neuro-affirming clinic dedicated to making mental health care more accessible.
We dive into:
✅ What it really means to be neurodivergent (spoiler: it’s not a defect!)
✅ The truth about adult autism & ADHD assessments—what to expect, common misconceptions, and who they’re for
✅ The stigma around self-diagnosis and why so many people are misdiagnosed or overlooked
✅ How barriers in the mental health system are failing neurodivergent individuals—and what needs to change
✅ Personal stories, lots of laughter, and why sometimes, falling down (literally) is just part of the journey
This is an unfiltered, affirming, and empowering conversation about owning your neurodivergence, advocating for yourself, and accessing the support you deserve.
