Ever felt torn between loving the body you have and wishing you moved it a little more? Or walked into a gym, got slammed by fluorescent lights and clanging weights, and thought, “Nope—hard pass”? This conversation with personal-trainer-turned-neurodivergent-fitness-whisperer Abby Clapper is your permission slip to ditch the shame-spiral and find movement that actually fits you.
In this episode we explore
- How ADHD brains (and other neurodivergent minds) beat all-or-nothing workout plans by chasing dopamine-boosting activities they genuinely enjoy.
- Sensory-friendly hacks—noise-canceling headphones, texture-happy clothing, quieter corners, at-home routines—that make exercise feel safe instead of overwhelming.
- The science of burning off fight-or-flight hormones so anxiety stops hijacking your day.
- “Non-scale victories” that prove you’re winning long before the mirror notices.
- Abby’s leap into an Autism Exercise Specialist certification and her vision for truly inclusive fitness spaces.
You’ll walk away with
- A repeat-able, keep-able habit you can start today—no treadmill trauma required.
- Real-world tweaks to fit movement into busy, beautifully complex lives (and budgets).
- Fresh confidence that thriving bodies and neurodivergent brains can coexist—and have fun doing it.
