A podcast for the neurodivergent woman who notices everything, manages everyone, masks all day, and has nothing left by the time she gets home.
The one who catches every micro-shift in facial expression, automatically assumes she’s done something wrong, and ends up blaming herself when the generic relationship advice doesn't work.
If you're ADHD, autistic, or AuDHD - diagnosed, self-identified, or quietly wondering - and you've spent your whole life feeling like you're too much and not enough at the same time…. you're in the right place.
Hosted by Jenna Dalton - a psychologist who's also AuDHD (diagnosed in her 40s, after decades of collecting "you're so sensitive" labels) - The Neurodivergent Love Lab gives you the tools traditional couples therapy never quite delivered.
Because most relationship advice assumes things your brain has a hard time doing on command: assuming positive intent, recovering from conflict in 20 minutes or less, explaining yourself clearly while you're feeling an overwhelming amount of emotions…. That advice isn't wrong. It's just built for a different nervous system than yours.
And here's the super important part: the female version of neurodivergence looks different than that fidgety little boy obsessed with dinosaurs and numbers. It’s quieter. More internalized. More masked. Which is exactly why it gets missed. By everyone. Including you.
Each week I'll share the science of being a neurodivergent woman in love, in language that actually makes sense, plus give you practical tools for things like:
✔️ Conflict, shutdown, and repair and how to stop feeling like you’re always the problem
✔️ Rejection sensitivity (RSD) and how to ride that wave without crashing
✔️ Masking exhaustion and how to start unmasking with your partner
✔️ How to navigate the mental load of being the caretaker, over-functioning, managing everyone else’s feelings, and the good-girl conditioning underneath it all
✔️ Mixed-neurotype communication and the misunderstandings that keep causing that same fight over and over again
✔️ How hormones make everything louder (so "I'm fine for two weeks and then everything falls apart" finally makes sense - and what to do about it)
✔️ And so very much more.…
If you want to feel truly understood and authentically loved, unmasked, this podcast is for you.
The goal isn’t to make you neurotypical. It's to help you build a relationship that fits how your brain actually works. One where you feel deeply loved and understood, and your partner finally gets you.
Your brain isn't broken. It has strengths and challenges. Both deserve support.
