Episode 10 of Unmuted is live — and honestly, it’s one of the most beautiful conversations I’ve recorded.

Meet @oriane.garcia : autistic, hypersensitive, brutally funny, unbelievably sharp.
She talks about masking, late diagnosis, understanding herself, humour as survival, and why “we can’t say anything anymore” is… well, not what people think.

It’s tender. It’s raw. It’s smart. It’s hilarious.
And it’s the perfect way to close Season 1.

🎧 Go listen — you’ll feel seen.

L’épisode 10 d’Unmuted est en ligne — et honnêtement, c’est l’une des plus belles conversations que j’ai enregistrées.

Voici Oriane : autiste, hypersensible, drôle à en pleurer, et d’une lucidité incroyable.
Elle parle du masking, du diagnostic tardif, de la compréhension de soi, de l’humour comme survie… et de ce fameux “on peut plus rien dire”, qui n’est pas du tout ce qu’on croit.

C’est tendre. C’est brut. C’est intelligent. C’est hilarant.
Et c’est la façon parfaite de clôturer la saison 1.

🧠 Yesterday was World Autism Awareness Day

But awareness isn’t enough. Especially when so many still feel the need to hide who they are, just to survive at work.

🎙️ In this new episode of Unmuted, we share the anonymous story of “Victoria”, a brilliant lawyer who is also autistic.

Because speaking openly still comes with risks, she asked to remain unnamed, a choice that in itself says a lot.

We talk about:

📢 The stereotypes that erase autistic women, who are often overlooked or misdiagnosed

📢 The exhausting reality of masking: acting “neurotypical” just to belong

📢 The link between masking, chronic stress and burnout

📢 The cycle: overachieve, crash, repeat, while organizations benefit from neurodivergent strengths but ignore their needs

📢 Hypersensitivity in the workplace: lights too bright, constant interruptions, no quiet spaces

And most importantly, how to build a way of working that’s sustainable and human

Let’s be clear:

🧠 Neurodiversity means recognizing that people’s brains work differently and that’s not something to fix.

🧠 Celebrating autism while forcing autistic people to mask is not inclusion.

🧠 Change starts when organizations adapt, not when individuals are pressured to fit in.

🎧 Tune in to Victoria’s story, a voice that speaks for so many others still left unseen.

⚠️ Audio disclaimer: Due to a technical issue, the sound may be slightly crisp at times. Thank you for your understanding.

New episode of Unmuted with @juliemarinower! (in French!)🎙️

In this conversation, we dive deep into the intersections of identity, feminism, and allyship, without filters.
Julie shares her experiences as a Jewish woman navigating white passing privilege, sexism, and internalized misogyny, all while challenging the systems that shape our workplaces and society.

Topics we unpack:
🔥 The patriarchy & leadership programs for women
🛑 Workplace sexism & microaggressions
🎭 Performative allyship vs. real coalition
⚖️ Anti-racism, feminism and the role of Jewish identity
📢 "You can’t say anything anymore" : the weaponization of free speech
🤝 True allyship means being the one who says STOP

Julie’s insights remind us of a crucial truth: opening the door for others does not mean less for you. Inclusion is not a zero-sum game.

🎧 Tune in now & let’s keep the conversation going!

🎙️ Unmuted Episode 5 – Why DE&I still matters with Luc Vandemoortele
Six months ago, when I sat down with Luc to record this episode, we had no idea what was coming.

🌩️ No idea how much the world would shift, how #DEI would be pushed even further to the sidelines, how the rights of minorities (hard-won, never guaranteed) would feel more fragile than ever.

☔ Luc is one of the most positive people I know. He carries hashtag#hope like a lantern, lighting the way even when the road feels uncertain.
But even he, even me, even all of us doing this work, sometimes feel the weight of it. The weight of knowing that progress is not a straight line, that inclusion is still something we have to defend, that rights can be rolled back faster than they were granted.

💧 And yet, Luc reminds me : every drop counts.
His belief in change, in the power of action, in people is unwavering.
This episode isn’t just a conversation about #antiracism, #quotas or workplace #discrimination.
It’s a reminder that even when the world feels like it’s moving backward, we don’t have to.

🌈 We keep pushing. We keep planting. We keep standing tall.
Because one day, all these drops, ours, his, yours, will turn into something bigger.

🎧 Tune in now, and let’s keep moving forward, together.
