Today Michelle and Wallis are joined by wonderful North Node member, prolific creative, and whip-smart entrepreneur Dr. Liz Bahr, to muse on managing a creative life with a neurodivergent/squiggly brained diagnosis.
Liz is a writer, creative expression facilitator, adjunct professor, clinical mentor, consultant, entrepreneur, and Doctor of Occupational Therapy. She holds a Doctorate from Boston University and a Master of Science from NYU, 500-hour yoga teacher, and specializes in working with ND people and populations — Sensory Processing Issues, Autism Spectrum Disorder, and ADHD. She’s the founder of Pegasus Wellness, and The Magic Word, a podcast about science, creativity, and storytelling (the first season is out this spring!).
Follow along with Liz on IG and Twitter.
We muse on:
How to identify sensory processing and sensory wellness preferences and which environmental accommodations to seek
Being diagnosed at various ages and what this does for your learning and development
How to identify when getting help for a specific diagnosis is helpful
Strategies for planning and externalizing your thoughts when dealing with ADHD and executive dysfunction
The practice of “junk journaling” for psychic release for squiggly brained creatives
Strategies for coping with overwhelm and getting out of our heads and back into our bodies
