January often invites us to push harder, fix ourselves, or finally “get it right.” But for the neurodivergent brain and nervous system, real change requires a very different starting point.In this opening episode of our January series, Ashley Bentley introduces a compassionate, neuroscience-informed framework for breakthrough inspired by Tony Robbins' work and refined through years of therapeutic practice.You'll discover why lasting change doesn't begin with strategy, willpower, or self-criticism — but with your inner state, your nervous system, and the stories you're living inside. This episode gently reframes breakthrough as a learnable process, one that works with your sensitivity, depth, and pattern-recognition rather than against it.The episode closes with a richly immersive guided meditation designed to help your system soften, settle, and prepare the ground for meaningful change.This is the beginning of a different kind of January — one rooted in safety, self-trust, and real transformation.❤️ Support the ShowIf this episode resonated with you:✅ Follow or Subscribe to The Neurodivergent Experience⭐ Leave a quick review on Apple Podcasts or Spotify

If you've ever set a goal that looked amazing on paper… and then your body responded with tension, avoidance, procrastination, or comparison—this episode gives you a simple framework to stop repeating that cycle and start creating goals your nervous system can actually hold.What you'll get from this episode:Set goals in a way that reduces self-sabotage when things start going wellIdentify the hidden “capacity gap” that creates push → crash → avoidance → shameLearn how to work with your body + subconscious (not just your mindset) for sustainable changeBuild internal safety so visibility, money, growth, and leadership feel steadierTurn “failure” into usable feedback instead of a shame spiralStrengthen boundaries so your energy stops leaking and expansion feels saferWalk away with a fast nervous-system reset you can use in real timeYour ceiling = the biggest vision you can hold in your mind.Your floor = your deepest operating belief (what your nervous system acts out when nobody's watching).Your life happens in between… and if the ceiling is high but the floor is low, your system will pull you back to what's familiar—even if it's exhausting.This episode is for high-achieving women (and ambitious humans) who are smart, strategic, and capable… but still find themselves bracing, overthinking, procrastinating, or collapsing right when growth is happening.If this landed, I invite you to leave a review, share the episode, and choose one belief you're done living from in 2026—then support your nervous system as you shift it.Support the showVisit theresalearlevine.org to get Theresa's Book, "Becoming More Me: Tapping into Success - Subconscious Secrets of an ADHD Entrepreneurial Mom" and receive the private sessions for Free!Becoming More Me with Theresa Lear Levine features conversations that Make the Never-Ending Journey of Becoming one you Want to get Present for & Enjoy!

In this episode of The Healers Café, Manon Bolliger, speaks to Kristine, a clinical hypnotherapist and CEO of Journeys to Heal Inc., and shares her journey from accounting to hypnotherapy. Kristine emphasized the importance of addressing subconscious programming, using techniques like hypnotherapy, breathwork, and NLP to help clients reconnect with their inner wisdom. For the transcript and full story go to: https://www.drmanonbolliger.com/kristine-ovsepian Highlights from today's episode include: Kristine explains that hypnotherapy works by accessing the subconscious/unconscious (about 88% of our programming) and releasing the root stories, memories, and emotions, rather than just putting a "band-aid" on stress, anxiety, panic, or depression. Kristine says you must reprogram negative childhood conditioning. Much of the "I'm not good enough / I can't" programming comes from childhood voices (often parents, teachers, bullies). The mind can be reprogrammed, like uninstalling and installing apps: we can replace limiting beliefs with empowering ones through positive suggestions and hypnotherapy. Manon agrees Don't wait for collapse—honor misalignment early. You highlight that when what we're doing doesn't feel aligned, we can either wait until the body and mind break down (as in Kristine's story) or we can listen earlier, notice that "this isn't right," and start actively exploring what truly brings joy and purpose. ABOUT KRISTINE OVSEPIAN: As a clinical hypnotherapist with a Master's in Psychology, blending science and spirit to support deep healing and transformation. Through hypnotherapy, breathwork, past life regression, quantum healing, NLP, EFT, and manifestation coaching, I help others reconnect with their inner wisdom and divine power.

As the year draws to a close, many of us feel the pull toward change - resolutions, goals, and the quiet pressure to become someone “better” next year. But what if real change begins with meeting yourself differently?In this final Mindful Monday of the year, Ashley Bentley explores why self-acceptance - not self-criticism - is the true foundation for lasting transformation. Through grounded psychology, gentle neuroscience, and the wisdom of Ram Dass, this episode invites you to step out of self-judgement and into appreciation for your full humanity.You'll hear why New Year's resolutions so often fail, how the neurodivergent nervous system responds to pressure and demand, and why acceptance is not giving up - but creating the conditions where change becomes possible.The episode closes with a deeply nourishing loving-kindness (metta) meditation, offering compassion and care to all parts of you - the seen and unseen, the strong and the tender - just as you are.This is an invitation to end the year softly, and to begin again from a place of kindness, honesty, and self-respect.❤️ Support the ShowIf this episode resonated with you:✅ Follow or Subscribe to The Neurodivergent Experience⭐ Leave a quick review on Apple Podcasts or Spotify
In this Hot Topic episode of The Neurodivergent Experience, Jordan James and Simon Scott examine how age limits, apprenticeships, and “youth-focused” career pathways quietly exclude neurodivergent adults — particularly those diagnosed later in life or whose paths didn't follow a linear timeline.They explore why these systems penalise late bloomers, how autistic and ADHD people are expected to “get it right” the first time despite growing up unsupported or misunderstood, and why burnout, delayed development, and real-world capacity are so often ignored in favour of rigid age-based judgments.They discuss:Apprenticeship age limits and youth-only career schemesLate diagnosis and delayed life milestonesWhy neurodivergent development isn't linearBurnout, missed opportunities, and starting again later in lifeWhy inclusion must account for neurodivergent timelinesA grounded, validating conversation about work, access, and why it's never “too late” — even when systems pretend it is.Our Sponsors:

December has a way of pulling us back into old roles, familiar dynamics, and unspoken expectations - especially around family, work, and social obligations. For many neurodivergent people, this can quietly activate stress, self-doubt, and the urge to explain or perform.In this episode of Mindful Mondays, Ashley Bentley explores Radical Permission - the practice of doing December your way. We look at why certain relationships bypass logic and go straight to the body, how childhood conditioning and masking resurface during the holidays, and why releasing the need to justify yourself can be deeply regulating.This episode also gently touches on relational tension, emotional fatigue, and the cost of people-pleasing at this time of year, offering a compassionate reframe for staying true to yourself without abandoning connection.The episode closes with a deeply empowering guided meditation, blending poetry and presence, designed to help you inhabit your inner truth, reconnect with self-trust, and move through the season with greater ease and integrity.A grounding invitation to release expectations - and reclaim your peace.❤️ Support the ShowIf this episode resonated with you:✅ Follow or Subscribe to The Neurodivergent Experience⭐ Leave a quick review on Apple Podcasts or Spotify

In this Hot Topic episode of The Neurodivergent Experience, Jordan James and Simon Scott explore why Autistic and ADHD people continue to face systemic discrimination when looking for work — even in industries that quietly depend on neurodivergent talent.Responding to recent reporting on neurodivergent employment discrimination, they share personal experiences of job interviews, disclosure, workplace bullying, infantilisation, and being punished for mistakes while their strengths are ignored. Jordan and Simon question whether disclosure is ever truly safe, and explain how fear, burnout, and past trauma — not lack of ability — keep capable people out of the workforce.They unpack the double bind many neurodivergent people face: judged for being unemployed, then discriminated against again when trying to work, and highlight the irony that creative, technical, and production industries are built on neurodivergent skills, while the people providing that labour remain undervalued and excluded.They discuss:Why do autistic and ADHD people struggle to get hired despite being capable?The risks and realities of disclosing neurodivergence at workInfantilisation, stigma, and being defined by mistakesWorkplace culture, office politics, and unspoken biasHow burnout and mistreatment create a genuine fear of employmentWhy neurodivergent-friendly workplaces should be the default“Nothing about us without us” in hiring, policy, and workplace designA raw, angry, and deeply validating conversation about work, worth, and why neurodivergent people aren't locked out of employment because they can't work — but because the system refuses to change.Our Sponsors:

You're not behind…you're just tired of “trying harder” and still feeling like you can't fully exhale.If you've ever had that moment where you know you're capable, you know you're doing a lot, and yet money (or support, or opportunity) still feels…weirdly hard to receive—this workshop replay is for you. ✨In Episode 231, I'm teaching the same thing I had to learn the hard way: abundance isn't something you chase. It's something your nervous system has to feel safe enough to allow.We talk about why so many smart, driven people get stuck in “striving but never arriving”…and why it's not a motivation problem or a “just think positive” situation. It's subconscious programming. It's old emotional wiring. It's the body bracing.And then we shift it—together.This isn't just a listen-and-nod episode. It's a tap-along experience with three EFT rounds designed to help you:calm the money stress spiralsoften debt guilt and self-judgmentstop the “I have to earn everything the hard way” patternexpand your capacity to receive without overgiving, proving, or panickingWe also use money as a mirror (because it's honest like that)…but what we're really working on is receiving—in every form. Support. Ease. Love. Opportunities. Breath.If you want a lighter body, clearer choices, and a different relationship with abundance that doesn't require burnout to be “valid”…press play and let yourself actually do the work with me.

In this episode of The Neurodivergent Experience, Jordan James and Simon Scott explore the powerful role animals play in neurodivergent lives — from emotional regulation and routine to responsibility and companionship. Sparked by Simon adopting a dog, the conversation moves through childhood memories of pets as lifelines, the unique bond many Autistic and ADHD people form with animals, and why pets often provide connection without judgment when people cannot. They also speak honestly about the realities: financial strain, PDA, sensory triggers, burnout, and the unavoidable heartbreak of loss. Rather than romanticising pet ownership, the episode balances warmth with realism — acknowledging both the regulation animals bring and the responsibility they demand.Together, they discuss:Why pets are so common in neurodivergent livesAnimals as emotional regulation, comfort, and routineBeing alone without being lonelyHow pets support motivation, structure, and daily functioningPDA, autonomy, and responsibility of pet ownershipGrief, anticipatory loss, and loving animals through ageingWhy understanding your own neurodivergence matters when choosing petsThis episode is a heartfelt, funny, and deeply human reflection on why animals mean so much to neurodivergent people — not as therapy tools, but as companions, family, and anchors in an overwhelming world.Our Sponsors:

I cannot wait for you to hear this conversation with my hypnotherapist, Kristen Eykel, the woman and the modality that have completely shifted my life. Kristen's story is wild in the best way: she went from being a supermodel in the 80s, living the full sex-drugs-rock-and-roll lifestyle, to becoming a deeply respected healer. And in this episode, she breaks down what hypnotherapy really is… beyond the clichés and way past the “quit smoking” stereotype.We talk about why some of our patterns might come from utero or even a past life and why time isn't as real as we think it is.

In this week's Mindful Mondays, Ashley Bentley explores the Circle of Control - a simple yet deeply regulating framework that helps neurodivergent nervous systems find steadiness in moments of anger, overwhelm, and emotional overload.Building on themes from recent episodes on December fatigue and nervous system regulation, Ashley shares how learning to release what is outside our control can radically change how we experience stress, reactivity, and burnout. Drawing on a powerful conversation from Episode 75 of The Neurodivergent Experience Podcast, she reflects on how the Circle of Control became one of the most effective tools her co-host Jordan has ever used for regulating anger - especially in high-stress moments like driving.This episode gently unpacks the paradox of control: how gripping too tightly to ourselves can create anxiety, while letting go of what was never ours restores clarity, agency, and calm. Through story, metaphor, and nervous-system wisdom, listeners are invited to rethink control not as domination, but as a compassionate way of choosing where attention and energy truly belong.The episode closes with a soothing Yoga Nidra–inspired practice, guiding listeners into deep rest and embodied focus - a way of experiencing the Circle of Control not just as an idea, but as a felt sense of inner steadiness.A grounding companion for anyone feeling stretched thin, reactive, or overwhelmed - and a reminder that peace often begins by carrying less.❤️ Support the ShowIf this episode resonated with you:✅ Follow or Subscribe to The Neurodivergent Experience⭐ Leave a quick review on Apple Podcasts or Spotify

In this episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, we stop treating self doubt like a mindset glitch and start seeing it as what it really is, an old protection system that has outlived its job description. Host Sana sits down with hypnotherapist, channel and former elite athletic coach Magdalena Lyle to unpack how childhood conditioning, family dynamics and hidden trauma program the subconscious to keep us small. From boardrooms to bodybuilding stages, Magdalena breaks down why so many high performers look confident on the outside yet quietly spiral in overthinking, imposter syndrome and perfectionism behind the scenes. If you are a founder, executive, athlete or ambitious professional who swings between “I've got this” and “Who do I think I am,” this conversation will give you a straight talking framework to understand your mind's protect and serve system, start reclaiming agency in your body and move toward decisions grounded in intuition instead of fear. This episode speaks to self doubt, leadership confidence, performance anxiety, trauma informed healing and nervous system regulation in real world language, not fluff. About the Guest: Magdalena Lyle is a Queensland based hypnotherapist, channel and mind body practitioner who started her career working with athletes and high performers on physical rigidity, then discovered their real constraints lived in the subconscious. Today she blends hypnotherapy, fascial stretch work and channelled guidance to help executives, entrepreneurs and athletes identify the childhood scripts running their self doubt, release stored tension in the body and rebuild trust in their own intuition. Her work is grounded, direct and focused on restoring personal agency rather than layering more affirmations on top of unresolved fear. Key Takeaways: Self doubt is not a character flaw, it is the mind's protect and serve system still following rules written by a younger, scared version of you. Childhood experiences, including “small” moments like being yelled at for spilling milk, can wire the subconscious to stay quiet, stay small or over perform to avoid judgment. Many executives and athletes wear confidence as a mask at work or on stage, while privately dealing with anxiety, overthinking, migraines, skin issues and emotional burnout. The body keeps score. Chronic tension in the jaw, shoulders or hips often signals a nervous system that has forgotten how to trust and relax, even when the mind says “I'm fine.” Hypnotherapy done through open questioning, not scripts, lets clients enter their own awareness, see the emotional “scene” behind the pattern and discover their own resources for change. Real leadership and performance strength come from integrating intuition, compassion and assertiveness so you are not two different people at work and at home.

In this Hot Topic episode of The Neurodivergent Experience, Jordan James and Simon Scott respond to an Independent article exploring whether undiagnosed ADHD increases the likelihood of young people going missing — and why headlines like this often oversimplify a much deeper issue. Jordan shares raw, personal stories of repeatedly running away as a child and how abuse, zero support, and misinterpretation shaped his behaviour — not ADHD itself. Simon unpacks why articles tend to blame neurodivergence rather than the environmental failures, lack of safeguarding, and lack of understanding that actually create crisis responses.Together, they discuss:Why “ADHD made me run away” is an oversimplificationHow unsupported neurodivergent kids end up in crisisSensationalist headlines vs. lived realityThe role of schools, police, and mental health servicesHow mislabelling kids as “naughty” shapes lifelong self-worthWhy early identification and whole-profile neurodivergent understanding mattersThe urgent need for empathy-driven support systemsThis is a validating and eye-opening conversation for anyone who grew up misunderstood — and for anyone working with vulnerable neurodivergent young people today.Our Sponsors:

Parenting “complex kids” is… a lot. ADHD, anxiety, learning differences, emotional dysregulation, big feelings, big talents, and a million moving parts. It's no wonder so many parents end up feeling like exhausted, overwhelmed “Supermoms” (or dads) who are doing everything for everyone and still wondering why it's not working.In this episode, Theresa sits down with Diane Dempster, co-founder, coach, and COO at Impact Parents, to talk about what it really means to raise complex kids in a neuro-informed way. Diane shares her story as a self-described “recovering yelling mom,” how coaching transformed her parenting, and why our kids' brains don't always respond to the typical parenting formulas we're handed.Together, they unpack:Why strategies like “1-2-3 Magic” often don't work consistently for kids with ADHD and executive function challengesThe difference between neurodiverse and neurodivergent, and why stress and overwhelm can make any brain look “neuro spicy”How to think in terms of realistic expectations (including the “3–5 year delay” in executive function)Diane's ACTION model and “relationship-first” approach to parentingA live coaching example using Theresa's real-life dinner time struggles with her four ADHD kidsYou'll also hear practical ideas for transitions (like getting kids off screens and to the dinner table without constant meltdowns), why collaboration matters more than control, and how to support your child's agency without abandoning them to figure it all out alone.If you're parenting a complex kid and have ever thought, “Why does this work one day and not the next?” or “Why can't we just have a normal dinner?”, this episode will feel like a deep exhale. ❤️Support the showVisit theresalearlevine.org to get Theresa's Book, "Becoming More Me: Tapping into Success - Subconscious Secrets of an ADHD Entrepreneurial Mom" and receive the private sessions for Free!Becoming More Me with Theresa Lear Levine features conversations that Make the Never-Ending Journey of Becoming one you Want to get Present for & Enjoy!

In this Hot Topic episode of The Neurodivergent Experience, Jordan James and Simon Scott react to a recent article claiming dogs can be “autistic” — and unpack why this framing misunderstands both animals and neurodivergence. They discuss how natural behaviours in animals get mislabelled as “autistic traits,” why deficit-based language harms autistic people, and how ableist assumptions shape research across species.Together, they explore:How research bias leads to fear-based language like “risk” and “behavioural problems”Why neurodivergence is a natural evolutionary advantage, not a deficitThe danger of reinforcing stereotypes (e.g., “cats are autistic,” “hyper dogs are ADHD”)Why splitting neurodivergence into strict labels misses the bigger pictureHow science goes wrong when it assumes autism is a negative traitThe importance of autistic-led insight in neurodivergent researchThis is a funny, fiery, and thought-provoking take on what happens when good intentions collide with bad science — and why autistic voices must guide any conversation about neurodivergence, no matter the species.Our Sponsors:

Today I'm joined by Emily Dziedzic, a subconscious change practitioner who helps high-achieving women break free from anxiety, fear, and emotional overwhelm using fast, root-level rewiring. And this work, with her, was a game changer in my own healing.I first worked with Emily back in 2021 during an intensive NLP program — Neuro Linguistic Programming — along with hypnosis and unconscious mind work. It ended up being one of the most transformational pieces of my own healing when I felt completely stuck. That experience with her is a big part of what led me into the work I do today.In this conversation, Emily and I talk about why the mind can hold us in place long after the early years of grief, and how subconscious work can gently open the next chapter. She breaks down how unconscious patterns form, why traditional “talking it through” doesn't always create change, and what actually helps fear and overwhelm loosen their grip.If you're farther along in your grief and feeling like you've hit an internal wall you can't quite name, this episode will meet you right there.What We CoverWhy we get “stuck” even years after lossHow subconscious patterns form and how they're rewiredThe difference between understanding your story vs. releasing itWhat unconscious mind work and hypnosis actually do (in simple language)How clearing fear at the root supports deeper healingEmily's own turning point with anxiety and burnoutPractical tools for calming the nervous system and building inner confidenceAbout EmilyEmily is trained in NLP Master Coaching & Hypnotherapy, NLP & Hypnosis Training, CranioSacral Therapy, Huna, Ho‘oponopono, Coaching the Unconscious Mind, and Integrative Hypnosis.
