What if your environment could soothe your nervous system and support your unique neurological needs?
In this insightful episode of Walk in Victory, host NaRon Tillman sits down with Stephanie Lee, founder of Practical Sanctuary Sensory Interior Design, to explore the transformative intersection of design, neurodivergence, and community care.
Stephanie shares her mission to create environments that promote healing—especially for highly sensitive and neurodivergent individuals. Together, they explore the overlooked importance of design in religious settings, how neuroscience is reshaping our understanding of human behavior, and why true healing is rooted in compassionate, inclusive spaces.
They also address how modern institutions often fall short in accommodating diverse neurotypes—and how communities can rise to fill that gap with love, design, and intention.
💤 And because your home should also be a healing sanctuary, this episode is brought to you in partnership with Cozy Earth—makers of ultra-soft, breathable bedding and loungewear. Their products help regulate temperature and calm the nervous system, just like the mindful environments Stephanie designs.\
