Blog post from a US colleague:

Sometimes I share here the work of others, who have either helped or inspired me, or who I think have a depth and resonance of thinking that connects with my work. I studied with Anuradha last year in their course for business called Sowing Post-Capitalist Seeds, and I highly recommend the work of The Kowtha Constellation. Here’s an introductory post about them and their work.

🌟 Unlocking Accessibility & Inclusion 🌈
Strategist & Consultant | Anuradha Kowtha 🤝

🔍 Solving challenges in Accessibility, Inclusion, Diversity, Equity
💰 Equitable pay and funding to empower organizations
🌍 Shaping perceptions, fostering inclusion and diversity, retaining customers & employees
📚 Compliance with government regulations and accessibility standards

I'm Anuradha Kowtha, your guide to a more accessible and inclusive future. As a consultant, I partner with small businesses, non-profits, and government organizations to create positive change. Together, we'll overcome barriers, champion accessibility, and enhance customer and employee experiences.

Currently I'm working in a local school on a series of DEI trainings and with a state government to create equitable payment plan for non government workers. In addition, I’m working with individuals - business owners and change makers in the start up phases of their work trying to create equity and ethical business considerations right from the start.

I'd love to work with similar types of projects with business owners, government or organizational bodies, and even museums and event spaces.

✨ Join me on this transformative journey! Follow my account for insights, strategies, and inspiration. Let's make a difference, one step at a time. 🌟

Self-awareness and self-acceptance are a HUGE part of thriving with neurodivergence.

Really appreciate the work and wisdom of Christy Diane Farr.

At least 30% of conflict between partners comes from misunderstandings. We think we’re getting a message we’re not getting (often it’s “I don’t care about you”) which can be more related to past experiences than it is the reality of the moment, and then we react to what we’ve created in our mind, leaving our partner feeling misunderstood and triggered. Your reasons for misunderstanding makes sense. Misunderstandings aren’t random. They’re related to real events from the past (childhood, former relationships, or events in you current relationship) that have given you good reason to jump to conclusions. Our brains are wired to jump to conclusions for the sake of efficiency and staying safe. At the same time, partners who are trying to do better and grow can get boxed in by misunderstandings, and everyone feels demoralized and stuck. What’s the solution? Curiosity. Before reacting, try to step back and say “hey, I think we might be missing each other. What are you trying to say to me right now?”
