Liam Saranich joins The Neurodivergent Report to lounge around & have a funny conversation about growing up with a learning disability, finding a voice through podcasting, and turning fear into fuel.

Curious about what’s inside?

• living with auditory perception disorder
• sensory processing quirks (spoiler: soda is a no-go)
• learning to feel it to heal it

However you are able to engage, thanks for being here!

Love, Sarah 💜

In this follow-up conversation, Abbie J returns to The Neurodivergent Report to go deeper into the science of executive functioning!

This time we’re zooming in on the Default Mode Network (DMN) and the autonomic nervous system (ANS).

Curious what's inside?

• What the Default Mode Network is & why you should care (THINK: focus, memory & emotional regulation)

• How emotional salience and working memory affect attention and regulation

• Why traditional mindfulness can backfire (and what to try instead!)

YOU WILL FIND VALUE HERE!
