Jolene Ironside is a trauma therapist specialising in teenagers and neurodiversity, a somatic mind-body coach, yoga teacher, and holistic therapist.
In this conversation, we talk about what happens when you grow up around addiction, how perfectionism can be a survival strategy, and why “understanding it” isn’t the same as actually feeling it.
We get into suicide and addiction with honesty (and a lot of love), the limits of talk therapy, and what it looks like to come back into your body after years of living in your head.
We also talk neurodiversity, diagnosis, and why the system often labels people as “disordered” instead of simply giving them what they need.
If you’ve ever felt like you’re doing all the healing things but still not actually here… this one will land.
