What happens after the promotion—when you’re neurodivergent, managing people, and trying to keep your executive function afloat?

In this episode of Inside the Pickle Jar, I’m back with part two of my conversation with the incredible Cheryl Richoux-Torres—a neurodivergent tech leader and champion for inclusive workplaces.

We go deeper into:
- The emotional toll of constant social interaction at work
- How Cheryl manages executive dysfunction while leading a team
- Why AI tools and curiosity are game-changers for new managers
- The importance of feedback, boundaries, and speaking up

Whether you’re navigating neurodivergence in the workplace, raising a neurodivergent child, or stepping into leadership yourself—this episode is full of practical, real-life strategies to help you thrive.
