Understanding Nuerodivergent Women Mar 31, 2025

Show notes

Join Sarah Taylor and Kristin as they discuss the journey that neurodivergent women embark on in life!
Sarah is an intuitive energy healer and awakening trail guide, helping folks find their way back home. But years ago, she was an anxious, atheistic insomniac. Plus, she was an undiagnosed neurodivergent woman, having a hard time finding her place in the world. So the idea of finding the “peace that passeth all understanding” was unthinkable! Simply wanting to get a better night’s sleep, and to be a little less angsty, she began seriously practicing Buddhism (Theravada, Mahayana, Dzogchen and Mahmudra). She took to the teachings immediately, and much to her surprise, began to undergo a series of profound inner shifts known as nondual awakening. Around 2011 there was the first of several radical — and now, abiding — shifts in consciousness. At that time, she began spontaneously channeling a transmission that has been a catalyst for many people deepening on their spiritual path. This transmission has changed through the years. Especially as unity consciousness/oneness/nonduality — and what is beyond — eventually began unfolding.

Melanie, who has been diagnosed with BPD and ADHD, decided three years ago that she wanted to use both her music and her Master’s degree to help others with the disorders. She went to work and researched everything about BPD after her diagnosis and found the appropriate medical professionals, treatments, and community resources; she then took the next step and began directly aiding communities, gradually coming to understand that her story could help save countless lives. She has volunteered for multiple groups and helped many people find the resources they need.Melanie has been a guest on a number of podcasts from backfromtheborderline to BPDBRAVERY and is a cast member of the YouTube TV series theBPDbunch.

Melanie's sister Jackie and her grandmother who has passed away Rae suffered from BPD and bipolar disorder, and Melanie hopes everyday to help others find their own “Rae of light” as her Grandmother’s name was Rae and hopes to carry this name forward with love and keep the legacy alive.
