Navigating Turbulence, Part 3: Growing Through Change, Not Around It Change often feels disruptive, especially when it exposes patterns, challenges expectations, or creates uncertainty. For neurodivergent individuals and those who support them, this experience can be more intense and persistent. This episode explores how to engage with that turbulence in a way that supports growth rather than avoidance. The focus shifts from perfection—meeting external expectations—to essence—aligning with your natural wiring, needs, and ways of functioning. Growth is reframed as layered and non-linear, with familiar challenges reappearing with new insights and capacities rather than signalling failure. Through practical examples and reflective questions, this episode offers a grounded approach to moving from confusion to action. It emphasises responsibility without self-blame, small aligned steps, and the importance of asking better questions to support meaningful change.
