In this reflective solo episode, Jon Hart records from his car on a cold UK morning and shares what it looks like to take his foot off the accelerator after years of living in constant motion. He talks openly about neurodivergent pattern recognition, sensory overload, and how a life lived at full speed can blur meaning, creativity, and connection.

Jon explores the difference between doing and noticing, why many neurodivergent people struggle to compartmentalise, and how stress, anxiety, and burnout often show up as symptoms of deeper neurodivergent traits. Drawing on lived experience with ADHD, autism, and dyslexia, he reflects on awareness, presence, and the importance of sitting with yourself rather than chasing fixes.

The episode also touches on small grounding practices that feel tangible rather than performative, reframing happiness as a skill, and reconnecting with music not as a transaction but as a relationship. From naming instruments to processing life through sound, Jon shares how creativity becomes a stabilising force when expectations are removed.
