🌈 About This Season:This series is all about changing the outdated, unhelpful narrative that being neurodivergent is a problem. We’re speaking with people in Sussex who are neurodivergent — and those who live or work alongside them — to show that difference is not deficiency. It’s diversity. And it’s powerful.🧠 Episode Summary:In this feel-good, thought-provoking episode, we chat with Lucy Egan — Zumba teacher, Hyrox world silver medallist, mum of three, and co-director of Hove Fitness Club.Lucy might not identify as neurodivergent, but her story — and the way she works with her team — is a brilliant example of what can happen when different brains collaborate without competition. Her two fellow directors have what some might call “ADHD-style” creativity — bursting with vision, energy, and ideas. Lucy brings structure, consistency, and follow-through. Together, they’ve built something truly impactful.We explore what it’s like to be the one who gets things done in a world of big ideas — and how all brains, all ways of being, bring something essential to the table.🔥 In this episode, we talk about:What makes a dream team (and why it's not about being the same)How Lucy balances her superstructured, high-energy mind with others’ more spontaneous brainsThe power of movement for emotional wellbeing (for any nervous system)Why collaboration between different brain types is the secret sauce in businessWhat joy, rhythm, and consistency can teach us about happiness💥 Why this episode matters:Neurodiversity isn’t a problem to be fixed — and neurotypical brains aren’t the gold standard. Every way of thinking brings gifts. This episode shows what’s possible when we stop judging difference and start valuing collaboration.🎧 Listen if:You’ve ever felt “too chaotic” or “too controlling” in work relationshipsYou want to better understand the unspoken strengths in your team or familyYou’re a neurodivergent person navigating work with neurotypical folks — or vice versaYou just want to hear a joyful, grounded story about collaboration and movement📣 Guest Links: Lucy EganHove Fitness Club✨ Stay Connected:      Follow Katie & Daisy      Join the movement      Neurohappy.life  Katie helps people regulate their nervous systems- so they              can stay calm experience inner peace and live happily- working with their                  whole system mind/body- using mind inquiry - dissolving unconscious beliefs.        breath, emotion work and guided meditative process     Breathwithdaisy Daisy helps people literally breathe properly so they can                   experience the power of breath can transform the way people live, providing a         gateway to inner peace and renewed energy
