Lessons Learned & Lived Experiences: Mona’s Final Solo Episode
2026/04/21
It has been an honor and a privilege for me to have hosted and co-hosted the Neurodiverse Love podcast since the fall of 2020. I will be forever grateful to my dear friend Olga, who agreed to start this podcast journey with me in the middle of the pandemic, and to all my co-hosts who have partnered with me along the way: Manecia, Greg, Nicole and Bronwyn. I also want to thank all the amazing guests who gave me an opportunity to ask them the questions so many of us needed the answers to. Each individual, couple, coach, therapist, educator, author, and/or researcher who shared their lived experience and expertise has helped us increase understanding of the strengths, differences and challenges that Neurodiverse couples experience. I am so grateful that thousands of people listening in more than 70 countries have received information, tools and resources to help them understand they are not alone and there is hope! Whether your relationship continues or ends understanding and acceptance of what can and can’t change can make such a big difference in the healing process. If you have not had a chance to listen to the 4 episodes of the Neurodiverse Love Docuseries on YouTube I hope we will do that today. In addition, I hope you will check out my website at www.neurodiverselove.com for more information about the resources I have available. Nine years ago, in 2017, I discovered I was in a neurodiverse marriage for 29 years and didn’t know it. Even though my marriage ended in 2018, I made it my mission to help others understand what my ex-husband and I never knew, and the work I am doing through Neurodiverse Love became my mission. This is my last episode of the Neurodiverse Love podcast and I hope the information I share will be helpful to a lot of you, including my thoughts about: ​Communication preferences ​Emotional needs​Sensory differences ​Social battery​Physical intimacy​Employment ​Processing speeds​Special interests​Transition time​Perpetual vs solvable problems I want everyone who listens to this podcast, the docuseries or accesses any of the work I do to know that you’re not alone! There are SO many more resources available then when I first discovered I was in a neurodiverse marriage in 2017. I am also very excited to share with all of you that I will be cohosting a new podcast with my friend and colleague Jodi Carlton and it is called “Navigating Neurodiverse Love & Life” . Our first episode was published on May 26, 2026 and you can watch it on Jodi’s YouTube channel at the link below: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLSyXJdjUav7pKfGin5gbYIPJcQ0fAkxLO&si=hCAxYXD3fkjxg7Mh I also want to thank all of you for listening to the podcast and for reaching out to share your lived experiences and your suggestions for topics to address on the podcast. I am hopeful that the next phase of my work will continue to have a positive impact on neurodiverse couples and individual partners and that we will all continue to learn about ourselves and our partners and create lives that are filled with peace, joy, love, and purpose.❤️🙏
