SUMMARY:

In this fiery episode, Dr. Emma Offord talks with Chrissy and Sarah on Trauma, Unmasking & the Social Justice Movement and how neurodivergence isn't a disorder.

That's right! You heard us. In this raw and revolutionary episode of ADHD Peri Punks, we sit down with Dr. Emma Offord—clinical psychologist, neuroaffirming coach, and founder of Divergent Life. Emma opens up about her late identification as neurodivergent during perimenopause, the trauma of being unseen, and why she rejects the “disorder” label in favor of the neurodiversity paradigm.

We talk invisible system trauma, unmasking after decades of survival mode, and why neurodivergence is not a trend but a social justice movement. Emma brings humor, rage, and radical compassion to a conversation that will resonate with anyone who’s ever felt erased by medical models or societal expectations. This episode has everything. Fire, earth, heart, rage, and lots of laughter.
