    When Joy Pushes Back: The Unexpected Strength Behind a Life Well-Lived

    Welcome to the last episode of our series on resistance where I share how joy is one of the most unexpected faces of all.  I discuss how joy is different from happiness and can show up in the midst of change, challenge, and even grief.  While joy is the landing point for this series, it’s actually the launching point for the next one. So be sure to dig into this episode that proves just how every new beginning comes from some other beginning’s end.  Have you also been feeling that pull of resistance?

    The Courage to Learn: Knowledge as the Bravest Resistance of All

    In this week’s episode, I continue our series on the many faces of resistance. Join me as I discuss how knowledge itself becomes a powerful form of resistance, and why the courage to learn, unlearn, and evolve is one of the bravest acts we can choose.  In addition to sharing another famous face of resistance from the Harlem Renaissance, jazz great Duke Ellington, I’ll also share my personal journey of how knowledge has been a type of resistance in my own life - whether because I challenged myself or was challenged by others to be open to receiving it.  Lastly, we’ll unpack how knowledge can be a powerful act of resistance in your own life as you gain understanding about your brain, your values, your definition of success,and what you need to get you there. This knowledge empowers you to resist those outside forces trying to tell you who you are.  Ready to have the power of self-knowledge at full force in your life?  Book your FREE 30-minute Strategy Session, a powerful space where together we’ll explore what you need, and then you’ll leave with a tool, strategy, or action step you can use right away.  Bonus: receive a 10% credit towards any coaching package if you book in the month of February.

    Love as Resistance: Why Relationships Are a Radical Act

    In this week’s episode, I explore how love and relationships can be one of the most powerful forms of resistance.  For many of us, relationships can be both a foundation for growth and one of the things we are most afraid of. However, they’re often the very thing that helps us withstand outside pressure, or resist.  Join me as I discuss how using love as a verb, especially in a world that often profits from division can be the greatest act of resistance of all.  If this episode has you curious to explore further, wanting to resist in your own way, or desiring to build stronger relationships in your own life, I’d love to support you!  All month long, I’m offering my signature free strategy session plus a 10% credit toward any coaching offer you choose if you book in February. A free strategy session is the perfect space for you to see what personalized support feels like. There’s no obligation to commit to anything, other than showing up for yourself for those 30 minutes, so it’s a risk-free opportunity. Book your FREE Strategy Session here.

    Resistance as Self-Care: Thriving Through Winter, History, and Hard Seasons

    It’s my February kickoff episode! Join me as I begin a month-long series exploring resistance as both a cultural force and a deeply personal act of empowerment for us all.  From the mood-shifting sunlight in a Chicago winter to the brilliance of the Harlem Renaissance, I share how creativity, joy, and self-expression have always been powerful forms of resistance.  You’ll learn why developing your ability to focus on areas in your life in which you have direct impact and control is a transformative mindset shift, especially for ADHD, autistic, and multi‑passionate minds.  I also unpack the difference between self-reflection and actionable growth (inspired by one of my own favorite podcasts!), and why showing up for yourself is one of the most radical choices you can make.  This episode will embolden you to challenge old narratives, reclaim your energy, and embrace resistance at its most personal level. Ready to turn the inspiration this episode creates into real momentum?  This is your personal invitation to book your free strategy session with me today. Because You Can Do It.  And I Can Help.  You can also sign up here to get my Neurodivergent Success Series delivered directly to your inbox!

Hosted by Mandy Moore, Sterling K Brown, and Chris Sullivan, it has me absolutely hooked.

    Winter Isn’t ‘Starting Strong’: Rethinking the Myth of ‘New Year, New Me’

    In today’s episode, I share why winter energy, habit building, and true consistency don’t actually align with the cultural pressure to “start strong” or chase the myth of “new year, new me.”  I share stories from our annual Lake Geneva trip, why I missed last week’s episode, and a joyful 30th‑birthday redo to remind you that real life doesn’t follow a perfect timeline. And that’s okay. Consider this your permission slip to embrace a slower, more sustainable start to the year. I want to personally invite you to my first free webinar of the year 🎉  The Career Communication Toolkit - for adults with autism, ADHD, or who struggle to feel understood in the workplace. Learn to real reasons behind why communication can be so hard (hint - it’s not that you’re bad at it), along with a proven framework designed to make communication less stressful, build relationships, and achieve your goals.  https://coachkfrey.myflodesk.com/communicationtoolkit You can also schedule your free 1:1 strategy session using this link, and together we'll create a path for you to enter into your Next. https://tidycal.com/kimberlyfreyconsulting/strategysession Don't forget to sign up here to get my Neurodivergent Success Series delivered directly to your inbox!
