Tania Gerard Live on Black Country Xtra: Tuning Into Neurodiversity and Mental Health
Self-acceptance is the first step toward true accessibility."
Mark your calendars! On Sunday, 8th March 2026, our founder Tania Gerard will be going live and in-person at the Black Country Radio studios for a special segment on The Wellbeing Hour.
Hosted by Jen, The Wellbeing Hour is a cornerstone for holistic health and community support across the West Midlands. From 10:00 AM to 12:00 PM, Tania will be joining the conversation to discuss the intersection of business, neurodivergence, and mental wellbeing.
What We’ll Be Discussing
This isn't just a business interview; it’s a deep dive into the human experiences behind the brand. Tania and Jen will be exploring:
Tania Gerard Digital: The mission to bridge the gap between neurodivergent talent and inclusive business strategy through the IMPACT™ Framework.
Living with ADHD and Autism: Tania shares her lived experience of navigating a late-diagnosis, the reality of "high-functioning" burnout, and why self-awareness is a game-changer.
Mental Health in Creative Spaces: Discussing why neuro-inclusion is a fundamental mental health issue. We'll explore how workplaces can be redesigned to reduce cognitive load and support psychological safety.
From Masking to Meaning: How letting go of "normal" expectations allowed Tania to build a consultancy that prioritises both profit and personal wellbeing.

Why This Conversation Matters
At Tania Gerard Digital, we believe that you cannot talk about "accessible marketing" or "neuro-inclusion" without talking about mental health. For many neurodivergent professionals, the pressure to "fit in" leads directly to burnout and anxiety. By sharing these stories on platforms like The Wellbeing Hour, we aim to destigmatise these challenges and show that a different way of working isn't just possible, it’s essential.
"I'm looking forward to sitting down with Jen to talk about what happens when you stop trying to fix your brain and start designing a life that actually works for it." — Tania Gerard
