Hey friends! ✨ In this episode of Adulting with Autism, I’m joined by Stephanie Lee Jackson, founder of Practical Sanctuary and creator of the groundbreaking field of sensory interior design.

Stephanie is on a mission to make every space—homes, offices, classrooms, and even public buildings—neuro-inclusive, emotionally supportive, and sensory-safe. And guess what? You don’t need a big budget or an HGTV crew to create a calming space tailored to your unique brain.

🎨 What we cover in this episode:

How clutter, light, sound & smell can trigger overwhelm

The hidden toll of inaccessible spaces for neurodivergent folks

How to create a sensory sanctuary without blowing your budget

Why your nervous system deserves a home that feels safe

Her journey from artist and massage therapist to trauma-informed designer

If you’ve ever felt drained by your own space—or never felt at home in the world around you—this episode will open your eyes to the possibility of healing through environment.
