S3 EP11 Neurodivergence: From Shyness, Stage and Storytelling with Peter Matthews

This podcast explores the journey of Peter Matthews, a voice actor, from his shy childhood to finding his voice – literally – on stage and in the recording booth.   Peter discusses his early experiences with bullying, his father's role as a minister, and how these experiences shaped his self-esteem and his path to becoming a performer. He talks about his love for creating character voices, narrating audiobooks, and the power of storytelling. The podcast also touches upon a life-altering car accident, the emotional aftermath, and his wife's journey with PTSD. Through these experiences, Peter reflects on resilience, vulnerability, and the ongoing journey of self-discovery.  While the sources don't explicitly label Peter as neurodivergent, the title invites listeners to consider his experiences through that lens, as discussed in our earlier conversation.   This podcast offers a raw and honest look at the complexities of life, the power of creativity, and the ongoing process of becoming.
