  • Time Blindness and Why You're Late
    Mar 26 2026

    🥒Welcome to Inside the Pickle Jar!

    Have you ever felt the heaviness that comes with being late? 💚
    It can sit in your chest like a stone.
    But I want you to know something important:
    You’re not the only one who feels that way, and you’re not doing anything wrong.

    Sometimes our brains experience time differently.
    For many neurodivergent folks, time doesn’t move in neat little boxes.
    It stretches… it shrinks… it slips away.
    And that can make getting places on time feel harder than it “should.”

    But here’s the truth:
    Chronic lateness isn’t a flaw in your character.
    It’s a pattern in your nervous system... one that deserves understanding, not shame.

    There are gentle ways to support yourself:
    - You can make time more visible with timers or alarms.
    - You can give yourself extra room to move between tasks.
    - You can prepare a few things ahead of time so the morning feels softer.
    - And you can pause for a breath before shifting gears, letting your body catch up to your mind.

    You are not broken.
    You are a human being doing your best in a world that wasn’t built with your brain in mind.

    And when we understand ourselves with kindness, something beautiful happens:
    We stop fighting who we are…
    and start building a life that fits.
    If this speaks to you, there’s more waiting in the links below.

  • Niksen - the Dutch Practice of Doing Nothing (5 min guided practice at the end)
    Mar 19 2026

    Ever felt guilty for doing nothing? Let’s talk about how embracing ‘Niksen’ can be your secret weapon. 👇

    Tag someone who needs to hear this!

    Niksen, the Dutch practice of doing nothing, is more than just a trend. For neurodivergent minds, it’s a lifeline.

    Imagine sitting quietly without a to-do list, allowing your thoughts to drift like leaves on a stream. In a world obsessed with productivity, this radical act of simply being is necessary.

    But why do we resist pausing? It’s tough! Our brains are wired for stimulation, making stillness feel unsafe. Yet, in this stillness lies the key to peace and creativity.

    In this episode, discover the Dutch principle of Niksen and learn how doing nothing can benefit neurodivergent individuals. Explore practical tips to embrace aimlessness for mental well-being. Listen to the last 5 minutes for a guided practice.

  • Part 2: Guest Author Dr Lisa A Riegel - NeuroWell
    Mar 12 2026

    NeuroWell (Applying Brain Science to Build Safe, Supportive, and Proactive Schools)

    In this second half of the conversation, Lisa Riegel continues the discussion on how our brains shape the way we learn and behave. She talks more about her book NeuroWell and reminds us that every child and every grown‑up, too, carries a whole world inside their mind. When we understand a little more about how the brain works, it becomes easier to see behavior not as “good” or “bad,” but as communication.

    Lisa helps us notice how much context matters. A child’s actions often make perfect sense when we understand what their brain is trying to manage. Sometimes, misunderstandings about the brain can make teaching harder than it needs to be, so she encourages us to prepare educators with the science that helps them see children with compassion and clarity.

    She also talks about creating school communities where everyone feels supported...teachers, students, and families alike. Big changes don’t have to happen all at once; even tiny steps can lead to something wonderful. And when we walk together, especially with our neurodivergent neighbors, those steps feel a little lighter.

    Lisa offers simple, practical ways educators can build classrooms where every child’s nervous system feels welcome, understood, and safe. It’s a gentle reminder that when we care for the whole child, we help them grow into who they’re meant to be.
