Motivation, Faith & Living in the Present In this episode, we explore some of the deeper questions around what drives us and how we make sense of the world. From asking whether money is the only true motivator, to reflecting on why prayer doesn’t always seem to be answered, we step into conversations that don’t have simple explanations. We also take a look at understanding “The Word” and what it can mean in everyday life, along with how to stay grounded and present in the moment. Margot is our go to for life problems.

From Inner Critic to Inner Ally, Part 1: Why Your Inner Critic Is So Loud Most people have an inner critic, but for many neurodivergent people, that voice can feel especially loud, targeted, and relentless. It may replay small mistakes, dismiss positive feedback, or turn moments of being out of sync into evidence of personal failure. In this episode, Stephen Harrison explores where the critic may come from, why it can become so intense, and how it often acts as a misguided protector rather than a true enemy. The conversation looks at masking, repeated correction, ableism, rejection sensitivity, and the pressure to appear acceptable in neurotypical environments. Stephen introduces the “inner orchestra” metaphor as a practical way to reduce the critic’s dominance, give it a more limited role, and begin hearing other inner voices such as curiosity, compassion, courage, discipline, and kindness.
