MiND Stim

What happens when you stop masking, start asking, and speak the truth about how your brain works - especially in a world that wasn’t built with you in mind? MiND Stim is a podcast that explores the hidden layers of neurodivergence . Not as a diagnosis, but as a way of experiencing work, creativity, relationships, and systems. Hosted by Jacques Malecaut, each episode features bold conversations with guests who live and work at the intersection of difference and design. From accessible marketing to emotional regulation, workplace inclusion to ADHD, we ask the hard questions without the clinical gloss. No productivity hacks. Just real stories, creative thinking, and a few lovingly applied truth bombs. Whether you’re neurodivergent, questioning, or just curious - you’re welcome here.
