What happens when inherited wealth, family legacy, pressure, and neurodivergence collide? In this episode of Self Care with Geraldine Hardy , Geraldine speaks with Octavian Sigismund Maria Gotthard Graf Pilati von Thassul zu Daxberg about aristocratic family history, inherited responsibility, family business crisis, neurodivergence, and the personal cost of carrying pressure from a young age.
