Ep 28: Late-Diagnosed Autism, Somatic Healing, + Full Self-Expression with Madison Morrigan

Listen Later

In this heartfelt and vulnerable episode, I sit down with the radiant Madison Morrigan — a coach, mystic, and deeply expressive voice in the world of somatic healing and self-liberation.

Madison and I reconnect after our shared experience in her Rising Sovereign mastermind — a space where neither of us yet knew we were autistic. What follows is a rich, nuanced conversation about late-diagnosis autism, the power of shame alchemy, and what it means to reclaim joy and expression in a world that so often demands we shrink ourselves.

In this episode, we explore:

  • Madison’s journey of realizing they are autistic, and how that has shaped their life and work

  • Why understanding shame through a neuroscience lens is key for neurocomplex folks

  • The nuance of somatic healing and what’s often misunderstood in the online space

  • Embodying healing through daily rituals, aesthetic expression, and home design

  • Shifting from “fixing ourselves” to orienting toward goodness and beauty

  • The hidden connection between neurodivergence and high-control religion

  • Allowing joy, bubbliness, and full expression — even when it draws criticism

    • A few favorite moments include:

    • Madison’s reframing of shame as a somatic process, not a moral flaw

    • The soulful simplicity of making tea as a healing practice

    • Their honest reflection on being groomed by high-control religious systems
