ОТНОСТНО ТОЗИ ЕПИЗОД
Could the lighting in your home be affecting your mood, sleep and nervous system more than you realise? Many people think lighting is simply about making a room look nice, but for neurodivergent people it can have a huge impact on how the nervous system feels.
In this episode, Jenny is joined by relationship coach Sarah Hurd and lighting specialist Sam Coles to explore how different types of lighting can affect people with ADHD, autism and sensory sensitivity.
Together they discuss why some people feel overwhelmed by bright lights, how colour temperature changes the way we experience a room, why flickering lights can be exhausting, and how making small changes to your home lighting may improve sleep, reduce stress and support your overall wellbeing.
Whether you've been diagnosed as neurodivergent or simply know that certain environments leave you feeling uncomfortable, this episode offers practical insights into creating spaces that feel calmer, safer and more supportive.
Key Takeaways:
Why lighting affects everyone differently, especially neurodivergent brains.
The difference between warm and cool lighting and how colour temperature influences mood.

If you’ve been noticing the same thoughts, reactions, or emotional patterns repeating in your life, Jenny’s free Continued Writing session may help you understand what’s happening underneath them.
During this live session, Jenny will guide you through a gentle continued writing exercise designed to help you uncover subconscious patterns, emotional responses, and automatic behaviours that are often difficult to see on your own. You don’t need any experience with continued writing, just a pen, paper, and some space to be honest with yourself.
The next webinar is on Tuesday, 14th July at 2 p.m. (UK time)
