Perfectly Broken Dani Stedman

Hey there! On this episode of Perfectly Broken, I am joined
by one of our Follow Your Magic Retreat participants, Katie Dickieson –  who is a spiritual scientist with a unique background in biomedical engineering and holistic health – to talk all about her journey and transformation. We have a vulnerable conversation that dives deep into her late-diagnosed autism, stepping into her purpose after losing her job, the reason she was ready to quit and leave in the middle of the retreat, and so much more. Katie is now bridging the gap between logical inquiry and spiritual intuition with a mission to empower individuals to explore their inner worlds, advocate for themselves, and live authentically.



What you’ll hear:


Autism Advocacy: Katie discusses her experience as a late-diagnosed autistic woman, emphasizing the importance of being prepared for life's challenges and embracing one's unique neurodiversity.


Getting Fired Creating Space to Step into Purpose: How getting laid off from her secure job allowed her to create her Starlight Synergy School.


Challenging Rules Without Logic: Katie reflects on moments when she struggled with rules or expectations that lacked logical explanations.


The Power of Voicing Feelings: Feeling misunderstood and overwhelmed, Katie initially planned to leave the retreat, but was encouraged to speak up, leading to a profound breakthrough.


Humor as a Double-Edged Sword: Katie reflects on how humor has been both a coping mechanism and a barrier to healing in her life.


Embracing Authenticity: She discusses her experience of being seen and accepted for all aspects of herself, including her autism, and encourages listeners to embrace their authentic selves.
