If you’ve ever felt like a weirdo from another planet… but also had big dreams and a deep desire to live with purpose — this episode is for you. 

I’m joined by my sister, Dr. Alexandria Hotmer, a clinical psychologist with powerful insight on what it means to be neurodivergent, highly sensitive, and human in today’s world. 

We explore topics like: 

- How to navigate life as a sensitive creative 

- Aging and societal expectations 

- Tools for anxiety and fear 

- Why self-knowledge is key for neurodivergent people 

- Compassion vs. resilience — and why we need both 

This is one of those episodes you’ll want to take notes on. Whether you're just starting to explore your inner world or deep into the journey of healing, this conversation offers support, validation, and real tools for your path.

PS. Here's the quote that I botched at the end haha: 'For a seed to achieve its greatest expression, it must come completely undone. The shell cracks, its insides come out and everything changes. To someone who doesn't understand growth, it would look like complete destruction.' - Cynthia Occelli
