Western dragon lore: disorder and danger
In Western lore, dragons represent chaos, cruelty, and destruction. Only a gallant knight can defeat a dragon in an arduous, bloody battle to the death.
After a lifetime of feeling my neurodivergence was wrong and needed "slaying," I saw it as a malevolent dragon within me...until I began to embrace my unique neurodistinct personality and discovered its power.
Eastern dragon lore: support and prosperity
In Eastern lore, dragons are revered as benevolent and powerful creatures associated with wisdom, longevity, and good fortune. They are seen as protectors and bringers of luck.
Despite the many challenges, I also experienced my neurodivergence as a big adventure, exhilarating and mythical. I wanted to learn to fly on the wings of its power and be free.
Growing into my skin
I wanted to learn to fly on the wings of its power and be free.
Embracing the self-determination, compassion and creative force of the Eastern dragon has allowed me to finally grow into my own skin.
I have since dedicated my business life to supporting other adults like me in finding the confidence to explore their unique and distinct spirit and embrace their creative power.
