Immersing in Soothing Sounds for Neurodiversity

I wanted to create a quiet place to land so I’m creating Soothing Sounds for Neurodiversity.

There’s something healing about sound when it’s offered with care.

• The shimmer of a chime
• The low hum of a singing bowl
• The gentle pulse of space between tones

It’s not just sound—it’s feeling.

My Soothing Sounds video series is a quiet offering for anyone who needs somewhere soft to land. 

If the world often feels too fast, too loud, too full… these sessions are a chance to slow down, exhale, and return to your own rhythm.

Created especially for neurodiverse folks and sensitive systems, each video is a sensory-friendly sound experience. There’s no bright lights, no jarring visuals, and no talking (apart from a brief introduction and closing)—just gentle soundscapes designed to calm and comfort.

What You’ll Find

🤫 Sounds to soothe and regulate

🪷 Invitations to rest, release, or simply be

🔁 Sessions you can return to again and again

You might feel-

The vibrations in your chest.

Or a twitch in your body (that’s energy being released!).

Perhaps less heavy.

Or sense your breath softening without trying.

Maybe you feel a little more you by the end.

These aren’t performance pieces or polished soundtracks. 

They’re real, present-moment offerings recorded with care—just as I am, just as you are.

Watch on YouTube

New Soothing Sounds sessions are released every second week on my YouTube channel 🎧 @Different-andLovingIt

If you find one that feels especially good, I hope you’ll save it, revisit it, or even send it to someone who might need a little calm too.

There’s something beautiful about choosing what soothes you—and I hope these sessions can be part of that for you.

I’d also love to hear from you—what would you like to hear or experience in this series? Please share in the comments below, or let me know here.

How to Stop Feeling Broken – You’re Just Different

Have you ever had that sinking feeling that you’re not quite right? That somehow, you missed a memo on how to “human” correctly? 

Maybe you’ve been told you’re too sensitive, too intense, too quiet, too loud, too much—or not enough. 

That feeling of not fitting in can be overwhelming. It can convince you that you’re somehow broken.

But here’s the truth: You are not broken. You’re just different.

And different is NOT a flaw.

What Feeling Broken Really Means

That “feeling broken” sensation often comes from years of internalising messages that something about you needs fixing. 

For many neurodiverse people, that message starts early: at school, in social groups, in work environments built for a different kind of brain.

Feeling broken isn’t really about who you are. It’s about how you’ve been made to feel.

When the world isn’t designed with your way of thinking, feeling, or sensing in mind, it can wear you down. 

But your differences – your sensitivities, your focus, your perspective – aren’t errors. They’re signals of a mind that works uniquely.

Reframing “Broken” as “Brilliant”

Let’s flip the narrative. 

What if those things that make you feel broken are actually signs of brilliance?

🌱 Struggle in noisy environments? That might mean you have finely tuned sensory awareness.
💡 Need time alone to recharge? You may process deeply and feel more than others.
✨ Communicate differently? That’s not a flaw—it’s another form of fluency.

The world needs all kinds of thinkers, feelers, and beings. Your uniqueness might just be the perspective someone else is longing to hear.

How to Start Healing That Feeling

If you’re stuck in the cycle of feeling broken, here are a few gentle steps to help shift that story:

1. Notice the narrative
   Pay attention to the inner voice that says, “I’m too much” or “I don’t belong.”
   Whose voice is that? Often, it’s not yours.
2. Seek spaces that celebrate difference
   When you find places—online or in real life—where people get you, it’s like a deep exhale. Community matters.
3. Speak kindly to yourself
   Start small: “I am doing my best.” “There’s nothing wrong with me.”
   Let those words begin to soften the edges.
4. Recognise your strengths
   Make a list of what you do well—not just achievements, but traits: creativity, compassion, pattern recognition, perseverance.
   Start to celebrate you.
5. Get support
   Whether it’s a coach, therapist, mentor or trusted friend –
   Being seen and heard by someone who understands can be powerful.

You Are Not Broken—You Are Becoming

If no one has told you lately: there is nothing wrong with you.

Yes, the world can be confusing, harsh, and overwhelming. But you? You are still whole.

You’re allowed to feel tired. You’re allowed to feel lost. And you’re allowed to rest. 

But please don’t mistake being different for being broken.

Because in your difference lies your depth, your strength, and your quiet brilliance.
