ND & Free Podcast - Finished May 2026
Hosted by ND & Free · EN
Stopped Recording May 2026 - The ND & FREE podcast brought to by the Awareness Space Podcast Network. This is a podcast all about neurodivergence and powered by you the listener. We answer, discuss and expand on your questions. Myself Owen Morgan and my team of co-hosts dive into all things ADHD, Autism and other neurotypes. We have episodes on a set topic each week.
We believe all ND'ers deserve to live a life free of the shame we may feel ,free from the burden of trying to fit in and free from the burnout caused from not honoring our needs.
We are, ND and FREE.
Thank you to our co-hosts Philippa Balazs, Alice Cantwell, Daniel Katona and Darren Cammock

ND & Free Podcast - Living With CPTSD and Finding Safety Within - Special Edition Episode
Apr 2302:26:21Tap to summarizeA panel show with 3 guests from 2020. As I celebrate 10 years of podcasting we return to previous conversations from years gone by. They aren't directly linked to Neurodivergence but if you can listen through a Neurodivergent lens, I hope what is discussed could help you. Neurodivergent topic episodes are coming every month alongside these wellbeing special episodes. In this panel show episode we talk Alyssa Scolari, Emerald McLeod and Christina Giammalva. Owen talks with his guests about the impact CPTSD has on our bodies and minds, how their healing journey's look and how we can find a sense of safety in the space of CPTSD-- We cover what Self-Awareness means to us, our experience personally with CPTSD, what our healing journey looked like and what helped. We also discuss how we can cultivate a sense of safety and connection in the space of CPTSD and what would be our 3 pieces of insight for those struggling with their emotional or mental health.
