E260｜Neurodivergence and the art of the non-career career
Would you make decisions based on whether you can say yes to joy, peace, connection and ease? And how different might your life be if you did? 🤔
Prioritising joy, peace, connection and ease is how Bea Marshall moves through her life now. So whether it’s coffee with a pal or giving a keynote speech, each situation or activity is assessed on whether it ticks all four boxes.
Why?
Because Bea spent so much of her life feeling like she was failing and didn’t fit into the conventional norms society expects.
