  • How AI Is Helping Neurodivergent Adults with Social Anxiety with Jamie Pastrano and Brittany Moser
    Feb 6 2026
    In this episode of "The Fear Less Now," hosts Jamie Pastrano and Brittany Moser join me to discuss the launch of Synchrony's innovative AI-powered social support tool, Jesse. Designed specifically for neurodivergent adults, Jesse offers real-time conversation coaching to help reduce social anxiety and foster deeper connections. The conversation will delve into the pressing issue of social isolation and loneliness among autistic individuals and those with other neurodevelopmental differences, particularly in early adulthood when traditional support structures often become less available. Recent research highlights the increasing prevalence of loneliness during this life stage. Jamie and Brittany will explore how Jesse, while not a replacement for therapy, can act as a supportive coach to build foundational skills such as social confidence, resilience, and connection. By strengthening these everyday skills, Jesse can play an important role in fostering well-being and creating the conditions for meaningful, lasting friendships. The discussion will also touch on the potential benefits and limitations of AI in supporting neurodivergent individuals, drawing on insights from various sources. For instance, AI can help with script practice, document drafting, and confidence building in social interactions. However, it's also important to consider the risks of over-reliance on such technology. Tune in to this insightful conversation to learn more about how Jesse and similar tools might be shaping the future of support for neurodivergent adults.

  • ADHD and Giving Up
    Nov 28 2025
    We are constantly fighting to focus, to stay on track, to just get it all done. The weight of ADHD can feel crushing, like we are stuck in an endless loop of frustration and self-doubt. But what if the very thing we are trying to do - control our ADHD - is the thing that's keeping us stuck? In this episode, we dive into the paradox of surrender in relation to ADHD. We'll explore how letting go of control doesn't mean giving up - it means giving us permission to be free. Free from the constant struggle, free from the shame, free from the thought that we're not enough. It's time to stop to start trusting the wisdom that's already within. We are so much more than our thoughts, feelings, and experiences. It's time to remember that.
