Intro - I hope this is what you meant David
Hi everyone 👋
I’ve ended up here through a slightly unusual mix of lived experience, operational work, recovery conversations, neurodivergence, burnout, systems thinking and a lot of very late-night “hang on a minute…” moments.
A huge part of the work and thinking I’ve been exploring recently sits around the crossover between:
• ADHD
• addiction
• emotional regulation
• burnout
• shame
• nervous system overload
• and what happens when people spend years surviving systems that never fully understood them in the first place.
The more I looked into neurodivergence through my own life and my children, the more I started recognising similar patterns everywhere else too:
• recovery
• workplaces
• education
• community settings
• mental health
• trauma
• exclusion
It stopped feeling like isolated struggles and started looking more like repeated human patterns.
I’m particularly interested in:
• recovery through a neurodivergent lens
• trauma-informed approaches
• reducing shame-based narratives
• earlier understanding
• and creating environments where people can engage without judgement or stigma.
David Collins encouraged me to join after reading some of my writing and honestly… I’m really glad he did.
Looking forward to learning from everyone here and being part of the conversations.
