The Neurodivergent Experience

Mindful Mondays With Ashley Bentley: Two Hemispheres, One Story | How Your Brain Writes Your State


Listen Later

Your brain is constantly switching between two modes of knowing: the left hemisphere’s precision and prediction, and the right hemisphere’s intuition and imagination. Between them lies the tender space where narrative forms — and where regulation becomes possible.


In this episode, we explore how these two worlds create your ongoing “story of self,” and how that story becomes the map your nervous system uses to determine safety, danger, overwhelm, or possibility. You’ll discover why old narratives feel so sticky, why neurodivergent minds process story so intensely, and how awareness creates the tiny space where freedom begins.


Through vivid metaphors, grounded neuroscience, and a powerful guided practice, you’ll learn to step into the witness — the part of you that can see the story without becoming it. And from that place, you can shift the state, shift the narrative, and shift your next move in the world.


This is narrative neurobiology in action — and it changes everything.
