Don’t aim for average. Aim to be fully human.
Stella Tudor Interviews Brian
Don’t aim for average. Aim to be fully human.
In this episode of Intuitive Creators Spotlight, I sat down with Stella Tudor to talk about what it really means to grow up neurodivergent and raise kids in a world that often misunderstands us. We covered a lot. Storytelling. Emotional honesty. How to build your life around who you really are, not who the world expects you to be.
I shared what it was like navigating life with both autism and ADHD, and how those two parts of me often pull in opposite directions. One wants to leap. The other needs a plan. Learning how to get those two parts of myself to work together changed everything.
We also talked about what it means to be patient with your child’s growth and your own. Spoiler: it’s not easy. But it’s worth it.
If you’re parenting a neurodivergent child, advocating for inclusion, or figuring yourself out one messy step at a time, this conversation might give you some clarity. Or at the very least, some peace.
Here’s one line I dropped that still lands for me:
“Life doesn’t move at the speed of impatience.”
💬 Testimonial Time
Just wanted to give a huge shoutout to Brian King after our last session.
I’ve been attending his monthly sessions through our business group, and honestly? I wasn’t sure if they’d be for me. I haven’t been formally diagnosed as neurodivergent (though I suspect ADHD), so I worried I might not fully relate.
But from the start, Brian made me feel seen.
He has this incredible way of explaining things that hit you right in the gut—in the best way. Like when he said:
“Perfectionism can be a form of safety.”
That one line reframed years of struggle for me. I’ve done a ton of work around perfectionism, but he gave me a perspective I’d never considered. It was like someone finally turned the light on.
Brian creates a space that’s safe, inclusive, and deeply insightful. Every session is packed with wisdom, humor, and a level of honesty that sticks with you.
If you’re looking to understand yourself better, especially through a neurodivergent lens—or just want some powerful life advice—I highly recommend checking out his work.
Grateful to be learning from him.
