Authentic On Air with Bruce Alexander

Bruce Alexanderbwaynealexander.podbean.com
I am a life coach for ADHD parents and I wanted to create a podcast as a lead generation tool, originally. As I started to look at what that might look like; it became less and less about my business and more and more about putting something of value into the world and creating opportunities to have healing and insightful conversations that would facilitate more authenticity in the world. This podcast was created as a space to explore authenticity and the variety of ways it can affect how we show up daily. It has been focused even further in the second season to focus on neurodiversity inside of that struggle. Guests will range from licensed therapists and psychologists and entrepreneurs to stay-at-home moms and perpetual students. Every person in this world wakes up everyday and consciously or subconsciously makes a decision to enter the world as themselves or not and I want to explore the stories of how that decision has impacted peoples lives. By providing a variety of interviews, stories and resources I desire to create a community that promotes growth, acceptance and understanding for people who have felt alone, singled out, or bullied for being different. Join me on Authentic On Air where authenticity and neurodiversity meet!
