In Episode 2 of MiND Stim, Jacques sits down with James Dewar-Haggart — trauma-informed coach and founder of Strong Path CIC — to explore what it really means to create safe, inclusive spaces for neurodivergent people.

Almost like a confessional episode, this is a raw and reflective conversation between two people who’d only just connected that week.

We talk about late ADHD diagnosis, the grief of being misunderstood, masking, masculinity, and the realities of addiction as a coping mechanism.

Together we unpack the systems that weren’t built for us, and what healing can look like when it’s rooted in co-regulation, truth-telling, and lived experience.

James shares how his own experiences of school exclusion, misdiagnosis, and burnout led him to found Strong Path CIC — a fitness and coaching space designed with, not for, the neurodivergent community.

🎧 Tune in for honesty, insight, and a powerful reminder that support doesn’t begin with a service — it begins with understanding.

In Episode 1 of MiND Stim, Jacques speaks with Tania Gerard — ADHD UK ambassador, TEDx speaker, and accessible marketing consultant — about what inclusion really means when it comes to design.

From alt text and colour contrast to reducing decision fatigue, Tania breaks down the small changes that make a big difference for neurodivergent users.

They explore the challenges and triumphs of navigating life with neurodivergent conditions, the importance of understanding sensory experiences, and the role of environment in shaping their journeys.

This episode drops the same day the European Accessibility Act comes into force — and it couldn’t be better timed.
