The Women of Evangelicalism Part 4: When Your Brain Is Not The Same

In this episode, Em sits down with her good friend Missa about what it's like living with neurodivergence in a belief system that rarely admits there even is such a thing. From the roots of ADHD, to the stereotypes of the 80's and 90's, to the stigma around mental illness and seeking mental health care outside of the church- they discuss the many ways in which evangelicalism negatively impacts diagnosis and treatment and the obstacles they've faced as women in that belief system when they are clearly not neurotypical.
