I come from a family of ADHD. I was diagnosed at 39. My mom took an online self-assessment and immediately recognized herself. My brother has the most obvious ADHD in the family. What that looks like is losing his keys three times before leaving the house. He also repeats himself three times. By the fourth, I'm exhausted listening to him. My brother's wife has dyslexia. My roommate has ADHD and dyslexia. If I look around my life, 80–90% of the people closest to me are neurodivergent. In fact, much of my work is helping neurodivergent people express themselves better. And that has very little to do with communication techniques. It has everything to do with nervous system regulation. Communication with a neurodivergent mind cannot be effective when the nervous system is dysregulated. Many of us struggle with impulse control. We become attached to things that help us regulate: work, sugar, alcohol, exercise, relationships, achievement. I've had all of them. What changed my life wasn't one thing. It was meditation. Yoga. Breathwork. Cognitive behavioral therapy. Studying Buddhism. Studying Kabbalah. Learning how to regulate myself. That's why I teach yoga. Not because I want everyone to become a yogi. Because breathing changes the state from which we think. When we regulate our nervous system, we clear our minds. And that is the first step of The A.L.I.C.E. Method™. I — Internal Regulation Before intention comes regulation. When the mind becomes quiet, we can hear what we actually want. L — Learning Intention Not impulse. Intention. A — Active Listening Because once we're regulated, we can finally listen. To ourselves. And to others. C — Clarity Ideas become easier to organize. Conversations become easier to navigate. Presentations become easier to deliver. E — Embodiment The regulated self. The authentic self. The self beneath the noise. The miracle is that I've been doing this my entire life. Helping people regulate, listen, communicate, and express themselves.
