    Talking about mental health & neurodivergence with Laurence Warner [preview]

    My friend Laurence visited, and it felt like a nice opportunity to return to the mic and open up what this last year’s been like for me. I’ve known him for a while and we’ve had similar experiences and struggles. This was his first time hosting a podcast - and he did a great job holding the space.  

    So more than two-and-a-half years after last recording on the podcast here’s, I suppose, the first episode of Season 2.

Combining her 20+ years as a corporate paralegal with coaching clients around the globe, she has a unique worldview of entrepreneurship.

Jas is exceptional

If you’re an INFP or intuitive/sensitive creator, you’ve found a wonderful spot to feel connected. Jas shines a light on the beauty and uniqueness of being an INF, how to show up to be our best selves and keep moving in our creative practices even when times are difficult. He honestly feels like a friend afar. I always feel seen and centered and uplifted after listening to his podcast. Thanks, Jas!

A place to call home

I can’t thank Jas enough for creating the INF Club! I’m an INFJ and I’ve truly felt like I’ve found my tribe after a lifetime of feeling so different. Give this show a listen. You won’t regret it!
