A Life That Fits: Neurodivergence, Nervous System Regulation, Creativity, and Support
What does nervous system regulation actually mean in everyday life—and how can understanding it help us better support ourselves and the people around us?
In this episode of Everyday Wellness with Nurse Bev, Bev is joined by Kate Powers, a special education teacher, author, creative entrepreneur, and parent, for a conversation about neurodivergence, nervous system regulation, and the many different ways people experience and move through the world.
Together, they explore how dysregulation can look different in children and adults, how Kate’s own experiences have shaped the way she thinks about wellness, and what parents of sensitive or neurodivergent kids can do to create more support and connection at home. They also discuss creativity as a wellness tool and how writing, art, storytelling, and other forms of expression can support emotional well-being and self-understanding.
Throughout the conversation, Kate brings together her perspective as an educator, parent, and creator to show how wellness can look different from person to person—and why support, creativity, and understanding individual needs matter.
