This is a YouTube video titled "Embrace Your Uniqueness: The Power of Being Yourself #beyourself #authenticity #successtips" (created 2025-02-11T03:42:59+00:00). The excerpt contains a short spoken exchange between two speakers about embracing play and authenticity, resisting negative stereotypes about neurodivergence, making work enjoyable while getting things done, and one speaker recounting meeting Julie May at a business conference and mentioning their Instagram "sock videos."

But incorporating play into all that we do is so important. And I think we've denied ourselves so long because we've been criticized that we're lazy or dumb or that 20,000 extra negative words that we as neurodivergents hear. But we don't have to be as boring as neurotypicals. We don't have to be professional all the time. I'm not going to do things in the least professional way possible in order to enjoy and actually accomplish the task. Because it's more than just enjoying it.
Yes, it's getting it done, but getting it done with fun.
Yes.
I went to a business conference last weekend, and I have to say that in that conference, there was a lady there that was talking about being ridiculously you. Okay. And her name is Julie May, and she is fabulous at teaching people to find your uniqueness, find your creativity, find the things. And I happened to mention to her, I was like, yeah, I'm at the business conference. I love it. Thank you so much. It resonated. Da da da. And I was telling her about the sock videos that I do on Instagram.
