What was your biggest Takeaway from this Episode! I would Love to hear from you!

What if the very things you’ve been told are weaknesses… were actually the reasons different brains win in business and life?

This 13-minute After Show episode goes deeper into the gifts of neurodivergent brains. Christine Molina, LCSW, and I explore how ADHDers and Autistic individuals bring innovation, structure, creativity, and resilience to business and everyday life.

What we cover:

• ADHD as a visionary, risk-taking, people-focused brain
• Autism as a precision, system-building, detail-driven brain
• The unique blend of AUDHD and how it balances both gifts and struggles
• Why companies, communities, and families need different brains to thrive
• 🌟 The “double gift” of AUDHD — big-picture vision + detail mastery
• 🧠 How to embrace your own strengths instead of fighting your wiring

This After Show is just for you — because the more we talk about these differences, the more we normalize them as strengths.

✨ Takeaway: You’re not broken. Your brain may be wired differently — but that wiring holds the very gifts that create progress, efficiency, and change.

Fixing What Isn’t Broken: People Pleasing, ADHD, Autism, and the Gift of Difference with Christine Molina, LCSW

Have you ever felt like you’re broken because you struggle with people pleasing, ADHD, or Autism? In this powerful episode of Empowering Women in Conversations, Anita Sandoval, LPC-S, sits down with Christine Molina, LCSW, EMDRIA-Approved Consultant, trainer, and neurodiversity advocate, to challenge the medical model myths and reframe how we see our brains.

Christine shares:

• 🔎 Why ADHD and Autism aren’t “disorders to fix” but unique wiring that holds incredible gifts.
• 💡 How people pleasing often develops as a survival response — and how to unlearn it.
• 🧠 Why understanding your brain is the first step to healing shame, trauma, and negative self-beliefs.
• 💪 The strengths neurodivergent partners bring into relationships — and why every brain has value.

My takeaway from this conversation:
Neurodivergence is not a flaw — it’s a gift. It’s like speaking a different language or coming from a different culture. Once we stop trying to “translate” everyone into the same way of thinking, we can embrace the richness of those differences. Every brain brings its own wisdom, its own rhythm, and its own strengths. The real empowerment comes from seeing those differences not as barriers, but as bridges to understanding and connection.

This conversation will change the way you see yourself. You’re not broken—you’re becoming.
