Exploring an Exciting NEW World Designed for Neurodivergent Minds!

What if your environment could soothe your nervous system and support your unique neurological needs? In this insightful episode of Walk in Victory, host NaRon Tillman sits down with Stephanie Lee, founder of Practical Sanctuary Sensory Interior Design, to explore the transformative intersection of design, neurodivergence, and community care.  Stephanie shares her mission to create environments that promote healing—especially for highly sensitive and neurodivergent individuals. Together, they explore the overlooked importance of design in religious settings, how neuroscience is reshaping our understanding of human behavior, and why true healing is rooted in compassionate, inclusive spaces.  They also address how modern institutions often fall short in accommodating diverse neurotypes—and how communities can rise to fill that gap with love, design, and intention.  💤 And because your home should also be a healing sanctuary, this episode is brought to you in partnership with Cozy Earth—makers of ultra-soft, breathable bedding and loungewear. Their products help regulate temperature and calm the nervous system, just like the mindful environments Stephanie designs.\ 👉 Get 40% off with code VICTORY1 at walkinvictory.me/sponsors 🔗 Learn more about Stephanie Lee: walkinvictory.me/guests/stephanie-lee-jackso 🔑 Key Takeaways: The urgent need for interdisciplinary thinking in modern spacesDesigning environments that heal the nervous systemThe spiritual and scientific evolution of understanding neurodivergenceThe power of community in supporting marginalized neurotypesThe role of religion and environment in psychological well-being🕰️ Episode Timestamps: 00:00 – Host Welcome01:06 – Personal Reflections on Sacred Space03:03 – Why Design Matters in Spiritual Settings05:40 – Guest Introduction: Stephanie Lee09:32 – What Is Neurodivergence?11:39 – Designing for Healing and Sensory Relief12:49 – Neurodivergence Through History17:27 – Where Faith Meets Neuroscience27:50 – Integrating Interdisciplinary Insights29:21 – AI, Information, and Validation29:47 – Navigating Social Perception and Trust32:19 – Neurodivergence Across the Lifespan35:31 – Understanding Autistic Meltdowns39:06 – Religion: Tool of Control or Empowerment?44:24 – Building Real Community Support45:01 – Resources and Closing Thoughts📣 Call to Action: Want to be a guest on Walk In Victory?
