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 episode, I sit down with Jax Crider to talk about what it’s like to live for years without the language for ADHD, and what can happen when that missing piece finally clicks into place. We get into the quiet guilt that can build before diagnosis, the relief that can follow, and why so many adults, especially women, are only now starting to connect the dots. Jax shares honest stories about being “too much,” forgetting everyday tasks, and dealing with the mental snowball that can turn one small moment into a flood of self-doubt. We also talk about something I think more people need to hear: ADHD isn’t only about struggle. There can be real strengths here too, if you know what to look for. About the Guest Jax Cride r is an entrepreneur, mortgage professional, financial educator, and host of Financial Mastery Simplified . She speaks openly about late-diagnosed ADHD, business, money, and building a life that fits how your brain actually works. If you’re questioning your own ADHD, supporting someone who is, or trying to make sense of a late diagnosis, I think this episode will leave you feeling more seen.
