One curiosity-driven mission: telling human stories that matter. Hosted by Reid Miles, this podcast feed is home to two distinct but connected conversations. The Neurodivergent Connection centers neurodivergent voices lived experience, late diagnosis, advocacy, creativity, and the realities of navigating a world not built for autistic minds. These episodes focus on understanding, accessibility, and belonging, grounded in honesty and real conversation rather than clinical distance. The Curious Storyteller began as a celebration of remarkable people and the stories that shaped them. It has since evolved into deeper, reflective conversations about identity, resilience, reinvention, and the quiet moments that change us. Guests include creators, athletes, leaders, and thinkers not to be interviewed, but to be heard. Both shows share the same foundation: unscripted conversations, emotional intelligence, and curiosity over performance. This isn’t about polished success stories or neat conclusions — it’s about connection, reflection, and telling the truth while the story is still being written. Hosted on Ausha.

In this conversation, I open up about my own assessment experience while Caroline shares how a “you’re not depressed, you’re overwhelmed” moment changed her path. You’ll discover how she re-framed decades of school struggle, why dance became her nervous system’s anchor, and the unexpected support that finally let her ask for help in her business. I reveal the questions I ask late-identified adults to spot patterns, while Caroline explains how she now sees rejection sensitivity, travel anxiety, and masking through a new lens. We also tease the spiritual thread that runs through her work—and the book she wrote once she realized what she’d been writing about all along. By the end, you’ll be thinking about overwhelm vs. depression, what real support can look like, and how to tell when you’re “being you” versus blending in. And you might walk away asking: What if the world is finally coming to meet you? About the Guest Caroline Carey is a UK-based creative, author of “The Neurodivergent Soul,” soul cartographer, and longtime movement facilitator. She supports artists, writers, and difference-makers to express their stories with compassion and clarity.
