The remedy to comparison and feeling like everyone else has it figured out but you.

 

 

May 29, 2023

I am thrilled to talk again with Casey Jourdan, a growth coach, Iraq War veteran, and Purple Heart recipient. With a Master’s in Mental Health and personal experience with ADHD, autism, and traumatic brain injury, she helps neurodivergent folks figure out their version of success and how to achieve it. But, as it turns out, her advice is also valuable for the more neurotypical among us.

 

Casey first joined me on episode 36 of this podcast in early March 2020. You can find that discussion here - https://dontcutyourownbangs.libsyn.com/36-danielle-ireland-x-casey-jordan. Since then, there have been a number of changes in Casey’s life and we use this opportunity to get caught up. 

 

We discuss what the pandemic revealed and examine why some mental health diagnoses aren’t made until later in life, especially for women and people of color. We also spend time talking about the importance of rest, including how to carve out time and space for yourself. Casey’s recent TikTok video on the topic went viral because who doesn’t have a need for more and better rest?! 

 

Casey knows firsthand the value of being intentional in your life choices. She helps folks heal their past, reframe their present, and find their new path forward. If you're ready to take the road less traveled, Casey is ready to help.
