Neurodivergent Awakening Podcast


Hosted by Oliver — a spiritual seeker who healed Tourette’s, ADHD, and OCD through lifestyle changes and meditation at 21.

This podcast is raw, unedited, and authentic. I don’t script or rehearse — I speak whatever comes to my mind in the moment, and we follow the conversation from there. You’ll hear my neurodivergent mind exploring life, growth, awakening, and the deeper truths that most people don’t talk about.

We dive into:


Topics covered:


  • Spiritual awakening & consciousness
  • Trauma healing & emotional growth
  • Neurodivergent perspective (Tourette’s, ADHD, OCD, autism)
  • Energy healing, meditation & mindfulness
  • Relationships, family, identity & belonging
  • Life purpose, self-discovery, and transformation

  • #397 How childhood trauma silently shapes your life — and how to heal it | Dr Stephen Young
    Jan 20 2026

    In this raw, unedited conversation, Stephen Young shares what it was like growing up around conflict, carrying emotional wounds in silence, and learning how to survive without ever being shown how to heal.

    We explore how childhood trauma doesn’t disappear with time — it quietly shapes your identity, emotional reactions, self-worth, and relationships, often running your life beneath the surface without your awareness.

    This episode is for anyone who feels stuck in repeating patterns, struggles with emotional triggers they can’t explain, or senses that unresolved childhood experiences are still influencing their present.

    🔥 In this episode, we explore:

    • How childhood trauma silently shapes adult behaviour
    • Why unresolved emotional wounds repeat in relationships
    • How to recognise triggers and unconscious emotional patterns
    • Practical tools for healing the inner child
    • Transforming pain into clarity, strength, and emotional freedom
    • Breaking generational cycles and building healthier relationships

    If you’re ready to face your past honestly and reclaim emotional stability, self-trust, and inner freedom — this episode is for you.
