This Voice is Mine: the Unquiet Podcast
For every neurodivergent mind that was masked, misread, or missed. Where identity is reclaimed and the system gets named. This Voice Is Mine is a podcast for those who were told they were too much, too sensitive, too chaotic, too intense or not enough.
Hosted by Dr Emma, a clinical psychologist, neurodivergent woman, and unapologetic system disrupter, this podcast explores what happens when difference is pathologised and what becomes possible when we drop the shame, the script, and the medical model.
Through stories, reflections, and conversations with people who were never meant to fit, This Voice Is Mine reclaims the truth of neurodivergent minds, bodies, and ways of being. This is not about fixing or fitting in. It’s about remembering who we are and unlearning everything they got wrong.

Permission to Be Seen: Nervous Systems, Shame, and Voice
In this intimate, reflective episode of This Voice Is Mine: The Unquiet Podcast, Dr Emma Offord and the DL team are joined by Helen Marie, a UK-based registered integrative therapist, author of Choose You, and host of the podcast I Don’t Think We Talk Enough About.
Together, Emma and Helen, along with Jolene and Jo, explore what it really means to grow full size: not as a performance of confidence, but as a nervous-system-led journey of becoming. Helen shares her path from a first career in public health into psychotherapy, and the lived experiences that changed everything, including what happens when you’re pulled into the “helper” role and your own story disappears into survival mode.
This conversation goes deep into the “good girl” conditioning, people pleasing, and the myth of self sufficiency. Emma reflects on the hidden pressure to appear “together” as professionals, and why authenticity is not arriving at a perfect destination, but learning to meet yourself with truth, in real time.
You’ll also hear rich insights on somatic work, safety, and voice: why it’s not enough for an environment to be safe if your internal environment still believes vulnerability is dangerous, and how embodiment becomes the bridge between knowing your story and actually feeling it.
A grounded, soul-level dialogue about permission, growth, and the quiet courage it takes to be seen.
