Different, not broken

Author: Lauren "L2" Howard

Youve spent your whole life feeling like somethings wrong with you. Heres a radical thought: what if youre not broken - just different? Welcome to Different, Not Broken, the no-filter, emotionally intelligent, occasionally sweary podcast that challenges the idea that we all have to fit inside neat little boxes to be acceptable. Hosted by L2 (aka Lauren Howard), founder of LBee Health, this show dives into the real, raw and ridiculous sides of being neurodivergent, introverted, chronically underestimated - and still completely worthy. Expect deeply honest conversations about identity, autism, ADHD, gender, work, grief, anxiety and everything in between. Therell be tears, dead dad jokes, side quests, and a whole lot of swearing. Whether you're neurodivergent, neurotypical, or just human and tired of pretending to be someone youre not, this space is for you. Come for the chaos. Stay for the catharsis. Linger for the dead Dad jokes.

The lights were staying on, but barely. And then a news story hit my phone that I was not prepared for.It involves an IVF clinic we used eight years ago for our youngest daughter.I'm not ready to share everything, and there are things I legally can't say. But I want you to know where I've been, mentally, with this whole *gestures arms wildly at everything*.And I want you to know that sometimes the thing that brings you to your knees has absolutely nothing to do with your business, your calendar, or your capacity — and everything to do with something you didn't see coming.Also: Alison is here with another Small Talk question from our listener named Darnell from Atlanta.Oh and give my thoughts on mulch.
