There comes a moment when we begin to reclaim truths we’ve spent decades masking. For Ada, that unveiling came through a late AuDHD diagnosis, revealing her lifelong sensitivity to unseen patterns as ancestral intelligence, not flaw.
This talk explores how neurodivergent perception, ancestral wisdom, and mental health presence can help us regulate, re-root, and re-imagine who we are becoming. Through story and simple grounding tools, participants are invited to turn sensitivity into strategy and attention into liberation.
This is not a mid-life crisis but a threshold, a time to unmask, rest into authenticity, and remember ourselves as living ancestors of conscious evolution.
