156: Neurodivergence, Authenticity, and Unmasking with Madison Morrigan

I’m thrilled and honored to be joined for this episode by Madison Morrigan. Our conversation covers many topics and uncovers many truths! Join us!

Madison is a five-time international award-winning life and leadership coach, creative consultant, podcast host, and speaker who helps visionaries embody their worth, power, and fullness. Centered on self-belonging, sacred self-responsibility, spiritual freedom, and full expression, Madison coaches humans as they shed layers of old programming that keep them small and see them finally come home to their true selves. In our conversation, we discuss showing up authentically in business and life, including on social media. Madison explains the concept of unmasking, why it is difficult to be a neurodivergent entrepreneur, and how neurodivergence can be turned into a superpower. We discuss the Enneagram as a tool for self-discovery, along with how my subtype shows up and how that specific subtype is universal in a way in America. We wrap up by covering intuition and following your hunches even when it means completely changing your business path.
