In this episode, I sit down with Leighanne, @projectyouacademy, a fitness and life coach who brings a unique perspective to wellness by incorporating neurodivergent (ND) focus into her approach. We talk about what it really looks like to take care of our physical bodies—especially for those of us who are neurodivergent.
Leighanne shares her insights on the challenges neurodivergent people face when it comes to fitness, health, and overall well-being. She also talks about the toll being neurodivergent can take on our bodies, and how important it is to listen to our physical needs. From practical tips to real-life examples, Leighanne offers actionable advice on how neurodivergent people can navigate their fitness journeys in ways that feel sustainable and empowering.
We also discuss how friends, family, and communities can better support ND individuals in their fitness and wellness goals. Leighanne’s approach is both compassionate and realistic, and I left this conversation feeling inspired and informed. If you’re someone who wants to better understand how neurodivergence affects physical health, or if you’re a fitness enthusiast looking for ways to support neurodivergent individuals, this episode is a must-listen!
