In this powerful Autism Awareness Month episode, we speak with Sharadha Ramakrishnan, an Engineering Coach at Digits who previously led a 50+ person team at Yelp before transforming her life by moving back to Chennai, India after 12 years in California.
Sharadha's perspective on freedom and identity dramatically shifted when she became a mother, particularly as she navigated raising her neurodivergent son alongside her neurotypical daughter.
In this episode we explore:
The contrast between Western individualism and the "it takes a village" philosophy that changed her parenting experience
How cultural differences between the US and India reshape the parenting journey
Strategies for building systems when facing healthcare challenges like therapy waitlists
Balancing professional identity with the transformative experience of raising a neurodivergent child


Perfect for anyone seeking to build their own community of or struggling to bring their whole self to both parenting and professional spaces.
This conversation offers both validation and practical wisdom on finding freedom within the complex intersections of culture, career, and neurodiversity.
