Um, but what's, what's special to you about getting to coach somebody who is neurodivergent?
Rheya UsherGUEST
I, I think when you are neurodivergent, it's can be really difficult to meet someone in a hobby or interest or sport that you're doing that really relates to you and can really understand it.
Rheya UsherGUEST
Now, it, being ADHD and dyslexia doesn't mean I understand all forms of neurodivergency, and, um, but I can really resonate to when someone is feeling different or not, or struggling, um, because I've struggled with those things.
Rheya UsherGUEST
And on the flip side, I love the chaos and the excitement and the energy that the typical neurodivergent brings to the table, because that fuels my endorphins and it fuels my energy levels a lot.
Rheya UsherGUEST
It is gener- genuinely working day to day with neurodivergents that I really love and thrive.
