In our conversation, we discuss showing up authentically in business and life, including on social media. Madison explains the concept of unmasking, why it is difficult to be a neurodivergent entrepreneur, and how neurodivergence can be turned into a superpower. We discuss the Enneagram as a tool for self-discovery, along with how my subtype shows up and how that specific subtype is universal in a way in America. We wrap up by covering intuition and following your hunches even when it means completely changing your business path. Show HighlightsThe Enneagram: a tool for self-discovery and self-awakeningEnneagram 3 is the one most in alignment with stereotypical American culture.The Enneagram is a way to identify patterns of motivation and behavior.Madison’s winding path to coaching and helping peopleMadison’s religious background, indoctrination, and how she learned a new perspective on spiritualityDefining the concept of masking–and how neurodivergent people do this to hide their true selvesStrategies for safety are authentic responses to feeling unsafe.The hardest place to be authentic?
