As 2025 comes to a close we just wanted to take a moment to recap our 5 top Podcasts of 2025 and have them all on one convenient place for you to listen.

Becoming Emotionally Mature:

In this episode, Jeremy Rochford gets real about what emotional maturity actually looks like for an Autistic husband in a mixed-neurotype marriage—where one partner feels deeply and the other feels overwhelmed. Jeremy shares the emotional learning curve after his late diagnosis, the moments that nearly broke his marriage, and the insights that helped repair it, moving him from shutdowns and disconnection to empathy, ownership, and real intimacy. He introduces a practical 4-part framework that reframes emotional maturity as a muscle, not a mystery, speaking directly to neurodivergent husbands who want to show up better but were never given the tools. If you’ve ever felt unequipped for emotional conversations, unsure how to meet your spouse’s needs, or stuck in exhausting cycles, this episode gives you language, a starting point, and hope that growth is possible—and closer than you think.

The Science of Rejection Sensitivity: A Neurodiverse Look at RSD

In this heartfelt episode, Jeremy Rochford opens up about his lived experience with Rejection Sensitivity Dysphoria (RSD)—that intense, sometimes debilitating emotional pain sparked by perceived criticism or disapproval, especially common in neurodivergent adults. With honesty and humor, Jeremy demystifies what RSD really is (and what it isn’t), showing how it often masks itself as anger, emotional shutdowns, avoidance, or overwhelm in relationships. More than awareness, this conversation is about growth—Jeremy shares practical strategies to identify triggers, build emotional safety with the people you love, and retrain your nervous system for resilience and regulation. Whether you live with RSD or love someone who does, this episode validates your sensitivity as a strength and a doorway to deeper self-understanding and connection, proving that emotional healing isn’t about feeling less—it’s about finally having the tools to carry what you feel with confidence and hope.

What is Enemy Mode & Does It Really Affect NeuroDiverse Relationships?

In this episode of NeuroFM, Jeremy Rochford unpacks Enemy Mode—the instinctive relational posture where the brain begins treating the people in front of you as threats to outmaneuver rather than humans to understand and love, turning connection into conflict and conversation into battle. Drawing from real-life moments in neurodiverse and mixed-neurotype marriages, Jeremy shows how easily couples can slip into defensiveness when partners process the world differently, and why this mode leaves both people feeling misunderstood, emotionally unsafe, and stuck in exhausting cycles. More than a concept, this episode delivers a practical roadmap out—Jeremy offers tools to spot the signal early, interrupt the pattern, and move back toward empathy, curiosity, and real connection, reframing Enemy Mode not as failure but as a opportunity for repair, making it a must-listen for any couple who wants to replace friction with deeper trust, understanding, and lasting love.

Better Communication= Better Relationships; The Art of Giving and Receiving Feedback Well

In this episode of Better Feedback, Better Relationships, Jeremy Rochford reframes feedback as something that can build relationships, not threaten them—proving it doesn’t have to feel like stepping on a minefield or walking into a minefield. Through personal stories and practical frameworks, Jeremy unpacks why so many feedback conversations derail, and how to shift them toward clarity, emotional safety, and connection. He breaks down the twin skills of sharing truth and hearing truth, exploring why how we deliver feedback matters just as much as what we say, and offering tools to help couples, parents, and professionals create safer spaces for honest dialogue. If you’ve ever avoided hard conversations or tensed up at the words, “Can we talk?”, this episode gives you a pathway from fear to freedom—where feedback becomes a muscle for trust, understanding, and growth instead of a trigger for defensiveness.
