Clinical/organizational psychologist; leadership, culture, neurodiversity, and resilient performance.
After spiritual awakening, you don’t just gain awareness. You gain sensitivity to energy that drains you. And yes, sometimes that energy belongs to the people who raised you. Here’s why that happens:
Mediocrity gets promoted. Excellence gets managed out. Competence threatens. The high performer is a mirror nobody wants to look into. So they hire the one who makes them feel safe instead.
“He does whatever I ask” means you (mom) trained him to wait to be told. That’s not a partner. That’s a project.
The most qualified person in the room rarely gets the title. They ask too many questions. They flag the problems nobody wants to see. They care more about results than optics. Meanwhile the one who smiles, nods, and never rocks the boat? Corner office. This isn’t...
Neurodivergent people will look a CEO in the eye and say “that idea won’t work” while everyone else is nodding. They call it a problem. I call it the only honest person in the room.
