Your Neuro Normal is Mind, Body and Spirit

We can't think our way out of colonised states of being

I’ve been intentionally crafting a path forward for myself over the last few years. Gaining my degree in neuroscience, leaving corporate leadership to work in social justice, setting up a coaching business to support neurodivergent folx to decolonise. Every step has helped me feel closer to my purpose, though it has not been easy. It has been deeply challenging emotionally, spiritually, physically, financially. I have never once felt that this was the wrong path though. The day I walked through the bluebell wood and realised ‘If I don’t change things, I won’t make it’ remains the single most significant day of my life, and I turned onto a new path that was, as it turns out, the only one that could have existed.

Since then I have had a persistent call on my spirit. That call has always been there in some form but, like much of my true self, I squashed and hushed it in order to neuro-perform and be accepted by whiteness. It’s a call towards my ancestry, towards clarity and alignment, towards connection and peace. This force has been a vital component in coming to understand my neuro-normal and it is what drives me to help others find theirs. With all the neuroscience and frameworks and coaching and writing, there is something else that adds a dimension that cannot be accessed through thinking. Or at least, not through thinking alone.
