Ever wonder why we're here? Why we exist? In our debut episode, hosts Mike and Chaya aim to explain why they've created this podcast along with how it ties into the grander question of finding your neurodivergent place in a neurotypical world.

Quotes:
- "It takes courage to be yourself in a world that constantly tries to make you something else."
- "Healing doesn't mean the absence of pain. It means making peace with it."
- "Be yourself, everyone else is already taken."
- "It's okay not to have all the answers. The most important thing is to keep asking questions."
