The Neuro Nest - drawing of a nest with objects tucked in by a magpie: spoon, pencil, thread, leaves.

“Creativity Regulates My Nervous System” Neuro Nest Podcast Ep. 1

Relaunching my podcast as The Neuro Nest.

I’ll be alternating solo episodes and inviting guests on to talk about their creative projects. I hope this podcast will be valuable for neurotypicals to learn about neurodivergent experience and for ND folks to feel less alone.

The first episode is a bit of a re-introduction so new listeners know who I am. I also share some of my struggles as a chronically ill neurodivergent podcaster.

I’m attempting to find an accessible way into podcasting without burnout. Weeks that I podcast that will take the place of a blog update for the week.

SHOWNOTES

On this podcast episode I mentioned…

Tracking my time with pie charts.

This video and blog post about hypermobile handwriting supports.

I also mention home educating a neurodivergent child which I blog about from time to time.

And making zines with my hands to regulate my nervous system.

I also mentioned these neuroscience studies exploring how autism and ADHD may be part of the same spectrum and not two distinct neurotypes.

How it Feels to Me book cover by Sarah Shotts and Gracie Klumpp. Shows a child with hands raised and a rainbow collage of objects shown above.

The Neuro Nest podcast is sponsored by How It Feels To Me, a picture book about neurodiversity and sensory processing, which I co-created with Gracie Klumpp.
