  • How normalizing your neurodivergence can be incredibly freeing
  • The lack of support for gifted kids in school systems—and the lasting impact
  • The performance cliff and how it affects gifted individuals
  • How early praise for intelligence and achievement can lead to a fixed mindset and self-worth tied to external success
  • Why gifted kids can struggle, even with loving, supportive parents
  • The challenge of finding identity and self-worth beyond what you do or produce
  • The overlap between giftedness, ADHD, and autism
  • Why coaching can be especially effective for gifted minds, who are drawn to “out-thinking” their thoughts
  • The impact of rejection sensitive dysphoria in residency
  • How simply having language for your experience can be a relief
  • A surprising reason you might procrastinate finishing your charts
  • How coaching can fill in gaps that therapy often doesn’t
  • The importance of connecting with other gifted and neurodivergent individuals who share similar lived experiences
