Grieving Your Autism Discovery (with Julia)
Today I’m joined by Julia, a former 1-1 coaching client turned dear friend & now the person who helps me behind the scenes at Liv Label Free! What started as a coaching relationship has grown into a friendship, a collaboration, and countless deep conversations about neurodivergence, eating adaptations, spirituality, and what it actually means to create a life that feels aligned.
In this episode, we explore the often-overlooked grief that can come with discovering you’re autistic and/or ADHD later in life. We discuss loneliness, unmasking, self-compassion, soul-level connection, spirituality, eating adaptations, trusting the universe, and why neurodivergent discovery is not just about understanding yourself – it’s about creating a life that truly aligns with who you are.
Key Topics Discussed:
- Julia’s experience of discovering she’s autistic and the unexpected grief that followed
- Unmasking, self-accommodation, and no longer being able to “just push through”
- Loneliness in neurodivergent discovery and the importance of feeling truly understood
- The connection between neurodivergence and eating adaptations, safety, and trust
- Spirituality, soul-level connection, and creating an aligned life by trusting yourself
Whether you're autistic, ADHD, a caregiver, or have just always felt different, this episode is a powerful conversation about grief, belonging, connection, and discovering who you are beneath the masks you've learned to wear.
