Episode #11: Permission to Be

A discussion from Tahlee Rouillon about allowing our creativity to ebb-and-flow as neurodivergent people.

On episode #11, I sit down with music composer and singer Tahlee for a vulnerable and honest conversation about the messy, beautiful process of self-discovery. We explore their mental health journey, from navigating panic attacks and depression to addressing binge eating and unlearning harmful stereotypes. Our conversation highlights the power of patience, self-compassion, and persistence in the face of uncertainty. If you’ve ever felt like you’re piecing together your own story, this episode will remind you that every step forward matters.

Tahlee is a visionary music composer with over two decades of experience crafting meditones® — calming soundscapes that promote focus, relaxation, and sleep. As a neurodivergent creator living with ADHD, c-PTSD, and migraines, Tahlee’s journey has been one of profound self-discovery and creative expression. Their personal experiences inspire their work, offering solace and connection to those who feel "out of sync" with the world.

Tahlee is also the co-creator of Restful, an app designed to support mental well-being through immersive, soothing audio experiences. Their blog, Wave Length, offers thoughtful reflections on neurodivergence, creativity, and the power of sound to heal and inspire. You can follow Tahlee’s work and journey on Instagram at @restful.music.
