Feeling Like Success Has to Equal Exhaustion? Discover How to Scale Your Business Without Sacrificing What Matters Most If you've ever felt like quitting your business, you're not alone! In this episode, I sit down with author and host of the What Works podcast, Tara McMullin, to explore how to create a business that truly supports the life you want. Tara has been challenging conventional business wisdom for over 16 years and brings a refreshing approach to success, productivity, and growth. She explains why focusing solely on revenue goals can lead to burnout, how to honor your actual capacity, and the importance of defining success on your own terms. We dive into why saying "no" might be your most powerful business strategy, how to escape the validation spiral that keeps you overcommitted, and the transformative difference between being "busy" and being "squeezed." HERE ARE THE 3 KEY TAKEAWAYS FROM THIS EPISODE: 1️⃣ Your Business Should Support Your Life – Start with your personal variables and non-negotiables first. Your business is a needs-meeting machine, and your needs as the business owner must come first. 2️⃣ Honor Your Capacity – We all have different capacities based on our available resources—time, money, emotional bandwidth, support networks, and skills. Before taking on new projects, ask: "Do I have what I need to do this well?" 3️⃣ Escape the Validation Spiral – Be cautious about constantly adding new commitments to feel valuable. This leads to depleted resources, underdelivering, and a spiral of taking on even more to compensate.

Dr. Angela Lauria and Matt Lowry, LPP, discuss tennis legend John McEnroe and his many Autistic traits.McEnroe had an impressive tennis career, utilizing Autistic pattern recognition to anticipate where the ball would go. He visualized the court like a chess board and said he turned the game into a math equation. The hosts further relate this to expectation sensitivity and Autistic scripting.He was misunderstood for his on-court meltdowns reacting to unfair calls by referees. The media unjustly portrayed him as a "brat" and one of the most disliked people in the world—harsh!“Because all autistic people, we have that expectation sensitivity, because we live in a world full of chaos and we need things to be predictable. Hence the patterns.” —MattIn reality, the Autistic athlete is extremely empathetic and generous, donating huge sums to charity. He's loyal to friends and passionate about causes like youth tennis programs.His wife, Patty, believes he is on the autism spectrum based on his routines, math skills, sensory issues, and focus on special interests like art and guitar. McEnroe agrees it's likely.“Patty is there for it, 28 years, great kids, great marriage and she says the thing that keeps their marriage strong is that she can always count on the fact that no one has a better moral compass than John.” —AngelaThe hosts argue McEnroe's meltdowns were a natural reaction to an allistic world that insists on conformity and compliance over truth and justice. Perhaps, if the media had used a neurodiversity-affirming lens, he could have avoided being labeled so negatively.Now in his later years, the Autistic celebrity leads a happy life with a partner who understands him. He channels special interests positively into tennis programs, art deals, and (his latest Autistic activity) voiceover work.Did you catch all of McEnroe's Autistic SPINs?

Dr. Angela Lauria and her co-host, Matt Lowry LPP, examine how the 1991 Disney film Beauty and the Beast—with its enchanted objects and magical setting—provides a captivating allegory for the Autistic experience, showcasing the value of individuality, empathy, and embracing the beauty in our differences. “So…when you're not looking at autistic people through an Autistic Culture lens, and you're like, oh, she's strange, or oh, she maybe when she meets the right guy, she'll act normal.”—AngelaThe writer of the film, Linda Woolverton, is highlighted as someone who frequently writes stories and characters that Autistic people can relate to. Her other works like Mulan, Maleficent, and Alice in Wonderland are mentioned.The hosts trace the history of Beauty and the Beast tales over thousands of years in various cultures. The 1740 French novel and 1946 French film are discussed as precursors to the 1991 Disney version.Matt and Angela take a closer look at the Beast: a misunderstood creature with emotional intensity, longing for connection but trapped by society's judgments and expectations—something people on the autism spectrum are all too familiar with. Through analyzing the evolving relationship, the hosts highlight the themes of acceptance, understanding, and the transformative power of love that transcend societal barriers, reflecting the experiences of many in Autistic Culture.And of course, they explore the tale of Belle: an intelligent and compassionate young woman who, despite facing social isolation due to her unique interests and demeanor, finds solace in a world of books and enchantment—highly relatable for Autistic individuals. Belle's character can be seen as a powerful symbol of neurodiversity and the importance of embracing one's true self, even when it's not understood by others.“This is the way of our people because with our hyper-connected brains, we have the data hunger. We need experiences. We need reading. We need research. We need to go see places and do things. We need more than these dead-eyed villagers. ‘There must be more than this provincial life.'” —MattMusical elements of the film are also analyzed, including songs that depict Belle as an outsider who's misunderstood. The lyricist Howard Ashman is credited along with composer Alan Menken. Additionally, the character of Gaston is critiqued as representing neurotypical arrogance and ignorance, as he provokes the villagers' mob mentality. Don't miss this enchanting exploration of how Beauty and the Beast captivates the hearts of Autistic children and adults, and serves as a reminder that there's magic in all of us.Do you relate to Beauty and the Beast?

Animation is popular among Autistic children and adults alike. Listen in, as Matt Lowry, LPP gives his co-host Dr. Angela Lauria a delicious infodump on voice over actors featured on Futurama, Ren and Stimpy, Ghostbusters, Transformers, DragonballZ, Street Fighter, Rick & Morty, and more!Many famous voice actors are officially in Club ‘tism!Hyperconnected mirror neurons and echolalia often results in impressive skills at copying people's accents and movements which, along with bottom up processing, leads autistics to being great actors and replicators of all things.Specific voice actors like Corey Burton, Frank Welker, Billy West, and Kyle Hebert are highlighted as on the autism spectrum. Their prolific roles in cartoons and anime are mentioned. The community of voice actors is described as close-knit and supportive, which creates a neurodiversity-supportive environment that allows Autistic talents to thrive.“I think one of the big payoffs of having a special interest and having a monotropic focus and being able to really master an art. And there are a lot of autistic people in this space who have mastered the art of voiceovers and animation.” —AngelaThe podcast hosts discuss animators like Tim Burton, Jorge Gutierrez, and Genndy Tartakovsky are discussed as openly (or just likely) Autistic. Their singular focus aids in animation. Burton struggles working within the neurotypical Hollywood system while producing Autistic-coded films like Edward Scissorhands.“We are taught all the way through school that we need to sit down and be quiet and fit in. We are taught our entire lives that we need to fit in, but we spend the rest of our lives trying to stand out.” —MattOn this week's virtual culture trip, hosts emphasize the importance of special interests in finding Autistic community, even if not as a career. Shared interests like specific fandoms can lead to meeting fellow Autistics and forming authentic and nourishing relationships.The creative fields of voice acting, animation, and related passions are discussed as areas where Autistic traits are beneficial and abundantly represented within the culture.Do you love animation?

Autistic hosts, Dr. Angela Lauria and Matt Lowry LPP, delve into the incredible world of Doctor Who and its significant impact on the Autistic community. The Doctor's unique way of perceiving and interacting with the universe, and their tendency to form deep connections with their companions resonates with people on the autism spectrum. The show's ability to tackle complex moral and ethical dilemmas also speaks to autistic people's passion for justice and understanding.“We have to do what is right regardless of what the rules are because that's the thing—if the rules do what is right then we have no problem with it because it's fair and just. If the rules go against what is right, we have to get creative and do what is absolutely morally right. And that's—that is—the way of our people.” —MattLong-time Doctor Who fans, Peter Capaldi and David Tennant, eventually got to play the Doctor, fully realizing their childhood dreams and bringing an autistic sense of kindness and morality to the role. The show allows for examining details and obscure trivia, which appeals to autistic data hunger. It also features time travel, aliens, and complex world-building.“We do love a little arcane trivia. I think that's part of what makes the Doctor Who world partly part of our Autistic culture is there is more arcane trivia than you can shake a stick at.” —AngelaThe Doctor's regeneration allows for different portrayals, making it easier for autistic individuals to see themselves in different iterations of the show's protagonist. Doctor Who's emphasis on embracing diversity and celebrating differences has fostered a safe space for autistic fans to connect, share, and grow.Join Angela and Matt on this week's virtual culture trip as they celebrate the extraordinary connection between Doctor Who and Autistic Culture, examining the profound impact this iconic show has had on countless lives and why it holds a special place in the hearts of many in the Autistic community.Which Doctor best represents Autistic Culture to you?

Dr. Angela Lauria and Matt Lowry LPP, dive into the fascinating world of musician, producer, and DJ—Questlove (Amir Khalib Thompson)—who briefly shared his childhood autism diagnosis in his 2013 memoir. Questlove's special interests in Soul Train and Black music history, and his stim of watching records spin, intertwine to create his unique perspective and career. Questlove has a massive record collection, encyclopedic music knowledge, and amazing ability to instantly identify the beats per minute of songs. His special interests led him to amass a huge collection of Black music memorabilia that will be housed in the National Museum of African American History and Culture after he dies. He sees himself as a “walking Blacksonian” historian preserving Black music history. The Autistic artist's passion for social justice drives his mission to ensure Black music takes its rightful place in history. Angela: So when one collects data, especially when one is a linguistic Autistic like me and Questlove, one wants to write a book about all the data we have collected.Matt: Once you collect the data, you have to share the data. That's the other half.Angela: Must share data. So good. Yes.The podcast hosts analyze how Questlove's Autistic traits like stimming, special interests, attention to detail, pattern recognition, and monotropism all interconnect and contribute to his creative successes. They see his story as representing what can happen when autism is not pathologized but instead allowed to flourish. Questlove embraces and celebrates his Autistic identity and life on the autism spectrum through his passions and work.“‘My mom said it was a blessing because I never gave her trouble. It was the opposite. They knew exactly how to sedate me, which was to sit me in the front of something that held my interest and then just leave.' This is the way. This is how we roll.” –MattJoin Matt and Angela on this week's virtual culture trip as they explore Questlove's Autistic journey, his amazing accomplishments, and the important role that his unique mind plays in the world of Autistic culture.Do you SPIN on music?
