In this episode, Melissa continues her candid exploration of life as a neurodivergent woman. She opens up about her personal experience with dyslexia—how it shaped her self-perception, her challenges with traditional systems, and the powerful shifts that came from recognising her differences as strengths.

Melissa shares insights on how understanding neurodivergence, especially in a world often built for neurotypical norms, can lead to deeper empathy, better communication, and greater collaboration. She reflects on the importance of making space for all ways of thinking and being—and how blending neurodivergent and neurotypical perspectives can create the kind of balance and harmony our world desperately needs.

Whether you’re neurodivergent yourself, supporting someone who is, or simply curious about creating more inclusive spaces, this heartfelt episode will leave you inspired to honour difference and embrace your own unique wiring

Episode Description: In this honest and personal episode, I share my journey with dyslexia — the challenges, the discoveries, and the strengths I’ve uncovered along the way.

Recorded outdoors in a space that supports my neurodiverse needs, this conversation is unfiltered and real. You might hear the wind in the background, and that’s okay — because creating environments that allow us to be our true selves is what this series is all about.

This is the first episode in our new podcast series from the Affordable Coaching team, where we shine a light on neurodiversity, lived experience, and the power of showing up authentically.

Tune in to hear how owning my story changed everything — and why there's no need to apologise for how we process the world.
