Hey friends! Today’s episode brings in Aaron Helton — an autistic executive coach who’s rewriting what leadership can look like for neurodivergent adults.
Raised by a Tiger Mom and homeschooled with a grading scale where a “B” meant failure, Aaron knows what it means to live under pressure. From years of masking and people-pleasing to running from Burnout, Aaron shares how he finally stepped into leadership with boundaries, humor, and radical self-awareness.
We talk about:
Why autistic adults often become overthinkers and overachievers
What happens when you stop saying “yes” to stay safe
And how leadership can look a whole lot more human, honest, and neurodivergent-friendly
If you’ve ever thought, “Is it okay to want more and not break myself to get it?” — this one is for you.
