    The Care-Less Era: What I’m Letting Go of to Get My Joy Back

    Send us a text In the latest episode of 'Women Who Are Autistic,' host Annelise, a life, career, and financial coach, welcomes listeners into the new year with a focus on embracing authenticity and rejecting unnecessary burdens. Reflecting on insights from her mentor, Annelise discusses the importance of not getting stuck in past regrets or romanticizing the past, but instead embracing a 'careless era'—spelled care-dash-less. This concept involves selective care, reducing masking, and prioritizing one's own truth and sensory needs. Annelise shares a story about Jane, a high-functioning autistic woman, to illustrate the challenges of societal pressures and the fear of missing out (FOMO). She encourages listeners to engage in practices that prioritize mental health and personal joy, such as the 'Joy Practice: Daily Selfie.' Annelise emphasizes that caring less about unimportant matters and more about one's well-being isn't selfish but essential for true happiness. She concludes with a call to action for listeners to share their journey on social media using the hashtag #care-less-era.

    What's Going On?!-Autism, Employment, and AI

    Send us a text This episode explores the workplace through a neurodivergent lens, focusing on the realities many autistic individuals face when navigating employment. From the often confusing and inaccessible hiring process to workplace environments built around unspoken rules, social expectations, and sensory challenges, we unpack experiences that many neurodivergent people deeply relate to. The conversation also examines the growing influence of artificial intelligence in the workplace. Can AI make hiring and day-to-day work more accessible for neurodivergent employees—or does it risk reinforcing existing barriers? We look at tools like automated résumé screening, AI-driven interviews, workplace productivity software, and where they may help or hinder inclusion. By highlighting common struggles, shared patterns, and systemic gaps, this episode invites listeners to think critically about how work culture and technology can better support neurodivergent talent. Whether you’re neurodivergent, an employer, or someone interested in accessibility and the future of work, this episode offers insight into challenges, possibilities, and the need for meaningful change.
