For most of her life, Healing Heroine Laura Mahony knew she experienced the world differently. Highly sensitive, deeply perceptive, and constantly adapting to fit in, she spent decades searching for answers - turning over every stone in an effort to understand herself. It wasn't until she discovered neurofeedback that everything finally clicked.

In this conversation, Laura shares how retraining her brain helped quiet a lifetime of hypervigilance, reconnect her with the present moment, and transform the way she relates to herself and others. She and Chandler explore masking, trauma, neurodivergence, nervous system regulation, and why understanding your brain may be one of the most compassionate things you can do for yourself. You'll also hear Chandler share her own neurofeedback journey and the remarkable shifts she's experienced in sleep, anxiety, and everyday life after just a few weeks of training
