Its finally OUT! I got to be a guest on The Art of Imperfect Adulting, the podcast
I have been so looking forward to sharing this experience with you!
https://www.facebook.com/imperfectadulting

Amy was such a gracious host and we had a blast chatting, I hope you'll give a listen and enjoy it as much as I did!

In this episode of the Art of Imperfect Adulting, Amy Stone interviews Deanna Brakefield—a digital marketer, radio host, and mom of seven—about how starting a radio show on neurodivergence transformed her work, family, and sense of self.
Ever wondered what it’s like to run a neurodivergent household of nine, build a business that actually works for your brain, and find your voice on the air? Deanna opens up about blending family and work (“It’s almost like everything works together. It’s almost imbalanced, almost.”), navigating imposter syndrome, and why she believes sharing real stories is the key to connection.
If you’re curious about neurodiversity, family, or building a life that fits who you truly are—not just who you’re “supposed” to be—give this one a listen. Listen wherever you get your podcasts!
