In this episode of Breaking the Biz, we talk with Lola Rheaume, a trailblazer in tech and a fierce advocate for queer, femme, and neurodivergent individuals. Lola shares her journey of pursuing a career as a Solutions Architect while attending Austin Community College’s Software Engineering program. As someone who is AUDHD and living with PTSD, Lola opens up about navigating the tech industry with unconventional experiences and how she's working to increase visibility for those like her.

Lola discusses her passion for building tools to streamline business operations, her love for art and gardening, and her mission to create an app that connects people in need with local, grassroots nonprofits. Plus, we get a sneak peek into her latest creative project—writing a spooky children's book that helps young readers process grief. This conversation offers a deep dive into Lola’s multifaceted world and her vision for making tech, and life, more accessible for all.
