Learn how to JournalSpeak ➡️ ⁠LEARN HOW:⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.yourbreakawake.com/journalspeak⁠ In this episode, I talk with Alice, who recovered from lifelong IBS and anxiety, and has been able to see things more clearly since she was diagnosed in adulthood with ADHD. You may remember her from our original interview - Season 3, Ep 82! Today, we further explore neurodiversity in TMS recovery and how a sensitive, neurodivergent nervous system is not a flaw—but often a key part of the healing process. Alice shares what it was like to finally understand her symptoms through this lens and how learning to work with her brain, rather than trying to fix it, led to complete recovery. Today, Alice is fully free from IBS and anxiety and has joined our BreakAwake Coaching Team. She now works one-on-one with others, extending her hand and guiding people through the same work that changed her life. This episode is a hopeful, honest conversation about nervous system safety, self-trust, and what’s possible when we feel truly understood. Join us!
