THE BEYOND 6 SECONDS PODCAST

WITH CAROLYN KIEL

About the Podcast

 

First impressions can take only 6 seconds to make!

But if you’re neurodivergent, those quick judgments about you can be misleading.

That’s where the Beyond 6 Seconds podcast comes in!

Join me, Carolyn Kiel, as I talk with neurodivergent entrepreneurs, creators, advocates & more about their lives and identities.

Their stories shatter misconceptions, break stigma and showcase the vibrance of neurodiversity.
