Community

I offer talks to community groups and professional organizations. I draw upon my ethics background, CNDLC training and my lived experience of intersectionality to open up vital conversations. My direct communication style and offbeat humor come free with every order.

I have specialized expertise in the area of neurodiversity and I create educational presentations to dispel myths around what ADHD, Autism and other neurodivergent traits look like in adults. I also love to explore areas where our intersectional identities bump up against our sense of belonging. I explore topics like: divorce, gender, body image, reclaiming a joyful sexuality after trauma, outgrowing long-term relationships with people we still love (including relatives), and more. Change can feel scary even when it is right for us. Our lives and bodies are tender. It’s ok. We don’t have to rush.

No matter what topic we explore, I will gently fold updated research and ethical inquiry into an equal amount of humor, ensuring we don't overmix.  My aim is for us to have fun while we learn with our shoulders at a safe distance from our earlobes.  

Some topics I speak on:

Neurodiversity — What does it mean and what are the implications?

High-Masking autism in adults: Fewer trains, more eye contact.

ADHD: It’s not all executive function, planners and pills.

Outgrowing a marriage with integrity is not a failure, it’s a fulfillment. Bonus: it’s often the honest thing.

Sex Ed for Aliens (or anyone else who remains confused)

I’m always working on more. If you have something specific in mind, just ask.
