What do you call multidisciplinary ppl who sit across a few fields = build shared language + spot patterns others don't?
Naming matters. You can't rally around an idea without labels emerging.

Cannot recommend working with @acjoughin enough. We've been at it now for (drumroll) nearly *a decade*. The wisdom, care, empathy and imagination they bring is transformative. Stuck in a spiral of shame or despair? Reach out!
