Description

You speak to share or receive useful information.

So when someone asks, “How was your weekend?” your brain looks for purpose.

If there’s no shared understanding, the exchange feels like noise.

When you know your purpose in a conversation, you feel less drained and more confident.

If you’ve ever shut down mid-chat or wondered why casual talk feels like wasted energy, this episode is for you.

Grab your spot at the Social Connections Summit!

It's a free, 2-day virtual event happening September 24 and 25.


You’ll hear from late-identified Autistic, AuDHD, and ADHD professionals who’ve lived your experience and from leaders and allies who are ready to learn with care, not guilt.


There are short talks, real strategies, and honest stories that meet you where you are.


There’ll be giveaways, special bonuses for those who invite others, and full access to replays—so don’t sweat it if you can’t make it live.
