12-22-25 When the World Moves Too Fast: Honoring Neurodiverse Nervous Systems with Pasha Marlowe
This week on Look for the Good, I’m joined by Pasha Marlowe, author, global neurodiversity speaker, coach, and consultant. Together, we explore what neurodiversity truly means and why so many of the norms we’ve been living by are beginning to unravel.
Drawing from her book Creating Cultures of Inclusion, Pasha explains how our nervous systems were never designed to operate at the relentless pace of modern life — and how that mismatch affects all of us. We talk about the growing awareness that it may not be individuals who are broken, but systems and expectations that no longer fit the way humans are wired.
In this rich and eye-opening conversation, Pasha shares her five pillars for creating cultures of inclusion and offers part of the solution: learning to become more aware of our own needs, honoring our unique nervous systems, and giving ourselves permission to slow down. We explore how practices like music can quite literally soothe the mortal soul, helping us regulate, reconnect, and return to our inner wisdom.
We also talk about what it truly means to unplug — not just from devices, but from outdated expectations — so you can receive a genuine “download” from within. In a world that often feels like it’s moving at Jetsons speed, this episode is a powerful invitation to listen to yourself, honor your rhythms, and rewrite the story of what it means to thrive.
