In a world that reveres words like "gifted," "genius," and "exceptional," the allure they cast is often accompanied by a reality of hurdles. Because the truth is that it is hard to navigate a society structured around normalized standards when you are remarkably talented in some areas yet present deficits in others.

Join us as we explore the world of those who are "twice exceptional" – individuals whose exceptional abilities are matched by unique challenges. Our guest, Harri James O'Kelley, Founder of The O'Kelley Lab, shares her inspiring journey and insights into how we can create a supportive environment for these exceptional individuals to not just survive but thrive.

We’ll explore the power of education, understanding, and opportunity in ensuring that the potential of "twice exceptional" individuals finds its rightful place in our diverse world. This episode will challenge perspectives and open doors to a more inclusive future.
