Neve Phillips (SH 2022) recently shared her insight on EQJOY’s Children’s Mental Health Podcast, where she explored the relationship between ADHD, emotional intelligence, and cultivating joy. In the episode, Neve discusses practical ways to support neurodivergent children and adults, offering insights grounded in lived experience and compassionate design thinking.  

She highlights how understanding emotional patterns in ADHD can create more supportive environments and how joy, when approached intentionally, can become more accessible. Neve’s reflections aim to validate and empower anyone living with ADHD or supporting those who do. 

Beyond the podcast, Neve is the Founder of Solace, a 5‑Minute ADHD reset app providing personalised nervous-system regulation tools using sound, visuals, activities, and biofeedback, designed specifically for in‑the‑moment support.  

Her philosophy background at King’s College London and her interest in social impact, product design, and AI ethics shape her human‑centred approach to building meaningful tools for neurodivergent users.
