About Mind Threads

Our mission is clear. We want to foster awareness, understanding and inclusivity in the workplace for those with autism, ADHD, OCD, dyslexia, dyscalculia, and more. But it's not just about the workplace. It's about showing youngsters that a diagnosis doesn't need to define them.

    Season 1, Episode 2 Fliss Trew

    In this episode, Antje talks to Fliss Trew. After spending 15 years immersed in the world of media brands, such as Elle, Marie Claire, and InStyle, Fliss experienced a compelling pull towards a realm defined by profound connections, self-expression, and liberation.  Fliss has been diagnosed with ADHD and is awaiting an autism assessment. As a neurodivergent woman, she consistently navigated life through emotions, ideas, and sensory experiences, considering alignment with these aspects as integral to her existence. Fliss attributes her past accomplishments to a profound love and comprehension of human emotions. On the flip side, any setbacks she encountered can be traced back to moments where she veered away from - or neglected - these core values. In her current pursuits, Fliss has transitioned into the roles of a yoga teacher, mentor, and breath coach. She imparts her expertise in corporate, educational, and private settings, conducting group workshops and personalised one-to-one sessions. Fliss holds accreditations from Yoga Alliance, Children's Yoga Tree (with Advanced DBS clearance), and is a qualified HeartMath coach. If you'd like to contact Fliss, you can do so here: (6) Fliss Trew | LinkedIn (https://www.linkedin.com/in/fliss-trew-17445769/) If you'd like to get in touch with Antje, you can do that here: (6) Antje Derks | LinkedIn (https://www.linkedin.com/in/antje-derks-9088239/) If you would like to get in touch with Matt or anyone at Big Top Multimedia Ltd, you can do that here: Big Top Multimedia | Contact (https://bigtopmultimedia.com/contact/) If you'd like to buy us a Ko-Fi, we'd be eternally grateful - https://ko-fi.com/mindthreadspod (https://ko-fi.com/mindthreadspod) https://ko-fi.com/mindthreadspod (https://ko-fi.com/mindthreadspod)
