You might be asking yourself what’s a strong sunflower? And if Webster were to define it… it would say…Someone that conditions their physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual strength to use their voice and actions to improve their life and inspire the people around them. This podcast will range from 10 minute episodes, to give you that shot of motivation you need to keep going. And episodes that dig a little deeper (and last a little longer) where we interview people in different parts of their journey. Whether in the seed planting phase, where there’s hope and courage. In the rooting or stemming phase, where there’s trial, error, and failure but they have the audacity to get up and try again. Or people that are in full bloom and harvest! Where we celebrate and reflect on their journey and cast visions towards the future.

Episode 219-Leading with Neurodiversity-A Conversation with Betsy Brocker

In this week’s episode of The Strong Sunflowers, Gisselle sits down with leadership advocate and soon-to-be author Betsy Brocker to explore how embracing neurodiversity can nurture our mental well-being—both in leadership and in life. 🌻

As part of the Building to Bloom Bee Well challenge, this conversation reminds us that understanding how our minds work is one of the most powerful forms of self-care. Betsy opens up about her ADHD journey, the transformative impact of somatic therapy, and how creating systems that support neurodivergent brains can lead to greater peace, productivity, and belonging.

From body doubling to object permanence and emotional intelligence in leadership, this episode is a deep dive into how we can all create spaces—personally and professionally—where every brain has room to bloom. 🌼

✨ Key Takeaways:

Embracing neurodiversity enhances both personal and professional growth.
Understanding how your brain works supports mental well-being and self-compassion.
Somatic therapy and reflection are powerful tools for regulation and healing.
Neuro-inclusive leadership fosters empathy, flexibility, and belonging.
Community connection strengthens mental health for neurodivergent individuals.

🌻 Tune in, reflect, and keep building to bloom—one mindful moment at a time.
