On When I Say Discomfort

When I was batching these episodes, it occurred to me that maybe some of you were like me and a little lost when it comes to trying to understand what "discomfort " might actually feel like in your body when thinking of emotions.  So this episode is a short one and it talks about how I might describe what I'm trying to feel when I think of "discomfort in the body." It also shares some more specifics around what sensations might feel like when they are uncomfortable, my thoughts about chronic pains, sensory sensitivities and why this matters for managing neurodivergence and being in this society.  There are many questions and a few ideas that you might think about in developing your own practices too. I think there's a lot here in such a short episode.

Om Podcasten

Sandra is the writer behind @nd.narratives that was @theadhdgoodlife on Instagram, a page where she shares her experiences and insights from her late in life ADHD diagnosis and Autistic self-diagnosis as a Black femme and transracial adoptee. This podcast explores the unique experiences of neurodivergent people (particularly those who've been historically excluded from mainstream neurodivergent narratives), often considering intersectionality and social justice lenses while sharing tools and strategies to promote self-knowledge, self-acceptance, radical responsibility and self-love. Living in a society that wasn't made for neurodivergent brains in mind isn't easy, especially depending on the overlapping oppressions you must navigate. Sandra looks at ways that neurodivergent people can access their own inner knowing and lean into their differences so that they can access their strengths, manage their challenges and thrive along the way.
