Hello and welcome to Gifted Unleashed , where we talk about the gifted and twice- exceptional brain and how it affects our thinking and experience of the world differently . There are a lot of stereotypes and stigma around the term giftedness , and I'm here to challenge those .
I'm here to raise awareness and to have a conversation around the topic of what it means to be a gifted and 2e adult . Common experience among gifted folks is that they feel out of place . They don't quite fit in . They are too sensitive , too intense , too emotional , too overexcitable and too deep thinkers about the world and about themselves .
So if you have been called too much of about anything , then this show is for you . My name is Nadja . I'm too loud , too colorful , too bubbly , too bossy and I love to talk too much . So welcome to my world and I'm so happy you're here . Welcome and hello .
I'm so excited to be back here with you and I'm so excited to resume this podcast and starting to share new episodes with you . So today is only a short episode and more of a teaser of what's to come and to tell you a little bit of what has been going on behind the scenes and what to expect in the coming months .
So the first thing , and the most obvious , is the podcast , and my website has received a major upgrade in design and brand , so you may have noticed , we're now called Gifted Unleashed and I finally , after three years , I feel empowered enough to embrace the term gifted and to call it what it is and letting go of Unleashed Monday , which was more of a generic
term to lure in some new listeners . However , I believe people are searching for the term gifted and they're looking for community , so owning the term , owning this word , the G word , so it's Gifted Unleashed , and I hope you're here with me for this amazing journey of unleashing your own giftedness and your 2e-ness .
This is a space for the new term is neuro spicy , I heard . So this is a space for twice- exceptional , tirce- exceptional and all the " , and I will continue making amazing content for you and having exceptional guests . So there's already a few new episodes in the making .
I hope you're excited and just follow by clicking follow on wherever you listen to the podcast so you will receive the latest episodes , because I won't be uploading them on a bi-weekly basis at this point . I would love to , but currently , with time and energy balance , I think they might be a little bit unregularly released .
So just follow and you will see , and I will announce it on the social media websites . And if you want , please subscribe to the newsletter . You can find that on giftedunleashed . com there's a newsletter subscription box and I will let you know when we have a new episode out .
And if you love the design , then also please drop a comment on the website or send an email . And if you would love such a beautiful design for yourself , then you can find Liz , who made my website , who was also on the podcast . I will link her website onto the show notes . It's mytrudesign .
com and you can reach out to her if you need some support with your design . And yeah , I feel it looks professional . I feel like it looks fresh and fun and bubbly , beautiful and welcoming and I hope you also like it . And what else is new ?
Over the past one and a half years I have dug deeper into the whole topic of giftedness , but also overexcidabilities , adhd and where it all overlaps , and I learned a lot about myself , a lot about what is it that makes myself unique and what is something that is not just me but other people and where we can relate to each other .
And it has been a healing journey , but it has been an intense journey . So I would like to say that this was a positive disintegration and I needed some time and some space away from this , more public space , to kind of figure this out in the background and to go through this whole transformation , to really kind of disassemble and re-peace together .
And yeah , on top of that , I think a lot of us neurodivergent and gifted people probably experienced some form of existential depression over the last two years and I don't want to just brush over this . I think a lot of us are suffering , are suffering greatly and are currently suffering a lot of what is going on in the world .
And I just want to say that this is not a political show , but I want to say that this is a humanitarian show .
This is really a place where we can support each other , love each other , connect with each other and be human and be vulnerable and share our shared experience and also our shared suffering and support for each other , and connect on a human level and be connected with our shared values .
This is what I wanted to say , and I still believe in the good and are hopeful for the world , and I want to share this positivity and this hope with you as much as I can and show up for you in this way and , yeah , have a space here where you feel loved , seen , valued and where you can express your own true and authentic self on mask .
So , yeah , with that said , I'm very excited , hopeful and positive for this endeavor and this new revamped podcast , this relaunch of Gifted Unleashed and this is all what I wanted to say today to you and I'm looking forward to this journey and I'm looking forward to connecting with you soon .
And stay tuned for the next episode with another guest , and I can say Julie Skolnick is back and she has written an amazing book . It's called Gifted and Distractable , and I interviewed her and this episode is going to come out very , very soon . So stay tuned and I see you then . Bye , you , you , you , you , you .
