The world often feels rigged. And this episode is a wake-up call to recognize the barriers that exist for those who don’t fit the traditional mold. In this episode, which is a kind of tribute to my dear departed Dad, I recount some powerful lessons from the man who was a brilliant psychiatrist and my biggest champion. He taught me that if something feels off about the environment you’re in, it probably is—and it’s absolutely hella-not your fault. We dare to break into the uncomfortable truth that many workplaces are designed for a very specific demographic, leaving neurodivergent individuals, particularly those on the autism spectrum, feeling excluded. I share three stories in which my Dad imparted to me more than my fair share of his wisdom, and I'm hoping you to can feel empowered. You'll learn that we can advocate for ourselves and others to create a more inclusive work culture.

Building Arensberg is the story of how Thomas and Catherine Arensberg have remodeled their homes while raising a family and starting a business.Thomas and Catherine share stories and insight into the construction projects they've tackled. How do I decide what to do first? What do I spend my money on? Should I hire someone or learn to do it myself? Catherine has the vision and Thomas makes it happen (usually).While working on these DIY projects, Thomas and Catherine are also raising 4 children. No parent has all the answers and these two are no different. Raising four children amongst the seemingly constant construction creates a lot of interesting challenges.But that is not where it ends! Catherine is also an entrepreneur who has built her design firm from the ground up while Thomas coaches football in Alabama where football is a way of life. This jumbled concoction of construction, family, and business building will be a weekly discussion on Building Arensberg.
