The Misophonia Podcast
Candid conversations with people who live with Misophonia. Misophonia is a disorder in which there is a strong sensitivity to certain sounds. A person with misophonia feels rage and an inability to focus on anything but that sound. It feels like a fight-or-flight response. Host Adeel Ahmad has misophonia and interviews other "misophones" from around the world. All episodes are edited to be more sensory-friendly including equalization and brown noise.

#220 - Beverly
This week I talk with Beverly, a Feldenkrais practitioner from Southern California. Beverly reflects on growing up as the youngest of five in a loud Midwestern household, and how misophonia shaped her early experiences of family dynamics, school, and self-image. We explore her struggles in open workspaces—especially during her years at Facebook—and the breaking point that led her to discover the Feldenkrais method as a powerful tool to regulate her nervous system. Beverly shares how this practice transformed her ability to cope, eventually inspiring her to train as a practitioner and launch her own app designed to help others. Along the way, we discuss ADHD, resilience, and the idea of becoming “our own scientists” in finding what works for us. It’s a thoughtful conversation about sensitivity, self-discovery, and creating supportive practices for living with misophonia.
