Knowing Your Authentic Self (with Maverick Joyce) - Ep74
Wed Jan 21 2026
What is failure, but just another way to learn something new?
Have you ever heard the phrase, “What’s hard for you is not what’s wrong with you”?
During today’s meal - I speak with an audhd social worker about rejection sensitive dysphoria, building self-advocacy and boundaries, the nuances in the neurodiversity realm, and favorite wintertime activities.

Maverick Joyce, MSW
Maverick Joyce is a social worker, coach, and therapist who supports people struggling with rejection wounds to find their boundaries in relationships, confidence in their values and opinions, and self-advocacy without shame.
Upon birthing a child into this world as a 30-something, Maverick was identified as AuDHD and they realised they experienced this phenomenon called Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria (RSD). This entire experience was a wake-up call that propelled them into the work they do, and the mission to show people that they don’t have to accept RSD as a lifelong condition.
The world needs the authentic shine and embodiment of neurodivergent brains. Maverick combines structural, systemic, ancestral, and interpersonal standpoints through wholistic mind-body-emotion-spirit frameworks to guide people into authentic embodiment of Self.
