More Than Bored – Understimulation Explained

If you’ve ever wished for resources made by neurodivergent people for neurodivergent people, let us introduce you to Megan from Embracing Brains - an OT with a big heart, a love of nature and videogames, and some seriously affirming tools to share. 💛🎮🌿

Megan is a neurodivergent occupational therapist based in Queensland and the creative mind behind Embracing Brains. She brings together clinical knowledge and lived experience in a way that makes her work feel so genuine, practical, and empowering. As someone who’s walked the path of both neurodivergence and hypermobility herself, Megan deeply understands how frustrating it can be to feel misunderstood or unsupported - and she’s all about changing that.

Through Embracing Brains, Megan offers resources that help people explore their identities, values, and sensory needs in a way that’s strengths-based and grounded in what actually matters to them. She knows that every nervous system is different (and that our lives and needs shift constantly!), so her work is all about finding what works for you - not ticking off someone else’s checklist.

You won’t find therapy services here in the Toolbox (that’s Megan’s gig in her own practice), but we are so excited to feature her neuro-affirming resources for both individuals and the people who support them. Her tools are equal parts thoughtful, validating, and playful - kind of like sitting in a sunbeam with a good cuppa while your dog naps next to you. 🐾☕️

Megan’s work reminds us that embracing our brains isn’t just possible—it’s joyful.
