ABOUT THIS EPISODE
🌈 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This series is all about changing the outdated, unhelpful narrative that being neurodivergent is a problem.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 brains
- The power of movement for emotional wellbeing (for any nervous system)
- Why collaboration between different brain types is the secret sauce in business
- What 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.
