In this episode of Inside the Pickle Jar, I sit down with Cheryl Richoux-Torres, a neurodivergent leader, innovator, and fierce advocate for inclusive workplaces. Cheryl opens up about her personal and professional journey: from feeling like a workhorse in the tech world to stepping into her full value through storytelling, confidence, and unapologetically leaning into her neurodivergent brain.

We also talk about:

• How Cheryl used her unique neurodivergent strengths to get promoted in tech leadership
• Her family’s intentional move to support her autistic son’s education
• The value of remote work accommodations for neurodivergent professionals
• Why building inclusive environments in school and at work isn’t just nice—it’s necessary
• The power of self-advocacy, community, and knowing your worth

Whether you're an autistic or ADHD adult navigating career burnout, a parent supporting a neurodivergent child, or someone craving more ease and belonging in your work life—this conversation is full of insight and real-life tools to help you thrive.
