91¶¶Òõ

Every brain is different — not broken, not less than — just wired its own way. In this engaging and accessible session, neurodivergent educator and 91¶¶Òõ alumna Victoria Bagnall unpacks the science of neurodiversity and how understanding the brain can transform the way we think about learning, focus, motivation, and wellbeing.

You’ll learn about the role of executive function skills in how we manage daily life — from memory and emotional regulation to decision-making and time management — and why these skills are so complex to manage.

Whether you identify as neurodivergent, are exploring the idea, or simply want to understand yourself and others better, this session offers insight, relief, and practical tools to help you work with your brain, not against it.

Come to celebrate cognitive diversity — and leave with greater compassion for yourself and the people around you.
