Designing for the Senses: Creating Calm, Connection & Harmony in Neurodiverse Homes with Stephanie Lee Jackson

What if your home could actually regulate your nervous system?

In this eye-opening conversation, Carrie Lingenfelter sits down with Stephanie Lee Jackson, founder of Practical Sanctuary and creator of the emerging field of Sensory Interior Design. Stephanie shares how she integrates art, neuroscience, and healing to design spaces that support highly sensitive and neurodiverse families.

They explore how clutter affects the brain, why having “a place for everything” helps kids with ADHD, and how your home can become a sanctuary that meets everyone’s sensory and emotional needs—including parents!

Topics covered:

• The science behind clutter and sensory overload
• How to create visual calm and emotional safety in your home
• Simple ways to design for both neurodiverse kids and sensitive parents
• Why mothers’ nervous systems matter most for family harmony
• How physical space can nurture connection and creativity

Stephanie also shares a peek into her upcoming book Eccentric Genius Habitat Intervention, a practical guide for tuning your home to your senses.
