Description

In this episode of Love with Francesca, I’m joined by Lianna Purjes, a therapist and neurodivergence coach who helps adults and parents of neurodivergent kids navigate life in a neurotypical world. With nearly 20 years of experience and advanced degrees in special education and clinical social work, Lianna is passionate about providing practical tools tailored to unique needs—not cookie-cutter solutions.

We dive into:

• How neurodivergence influences relationships and communication styles.
• Practical strategies for navigating neurodivergent and neurotypical differences.
• The importance of direct, clear communication in relationships.
• How self-awareness and self-acceptance help individuals thrive in relationships and life.
• Proactive approaches to creating harmony and reducing misunderstandings in relationships.

Lianna shares actionable insights and encourages listeners to embrace individuality while fostering healthy, respectful relationships.
