Summary

Episode 49 with Denise Brodey.

"Looking back, I realize I just never had the right words to explain what was going on with me."

Denise is a senior contributor at Forbes, focused on the role of invisible disabilities in the workplace.

Her candid, deep dives into new research, ability to decode medical jargon and her personal style of storytelling have won her the respect of CEOs, lawmakers, and people with disabilities, who appreciate her writing openly about her lived experience with ADHD, dyslexia, depression and anxiety. 

She is also the founder of Rebel Talent, where she brings together CEOs, HR and recruiters — employers and employees — in order to facilitate discussion around topics of disability, neurodivergence and workplace accommodations.

And she’s the author of The Elephant in the Playroom, a collection of essays from caregivers on raising children with special needs.

We talk all about her talk about her own journey to understand her brain and her son’s brain, as well as her work to de-stigmatize ADHD and neurodivergent minds in the workplace, and the importance of understanding ourselves so we can better advocate for ourselves and each other.
