You wonder… then catch yourself… doing too much again. S**t. I mean whoops.

I’m messing up constantly and I can’t catch up anymore. I gotta keep up but sis I’m exhausted.

Burnout can be particularly intense for autistic adults and all neurodivergent people are at risk.

Skill regression is common. You literally cannot show up the same day to day.

Autism is a neurological difference and largely an internal personal experience. You can’t see the struggle of ā€œhighā€ functioning adults.

Hate the comparison. Autism is autism. We’re all on a spectrum. We are unique. Each story is different but when we relate we connect.

DISCLAIMER: everyone is different! When I share experiences the intention is to educate and spark helpful discussion. Let’s help each other find answers. Coaching is not a replacement for seeking therapy or medical care. I will refer and I do not offer therapy. Coaching is not a crisis support service. I am not available 24/7.

In fact, I would love to try to help you connect with a provider if you’re not sure where to start. I also have a network of coaches offering affordable services summarized on my website.

I’m a person who enjoys being home. I spend most evenings with my heating pad decompressing whether I left the house or not.

I meet new people every week and I’m not drained. My energy ebbs and flows. I get excited about my client wins! I also reschedule if I have a pain flare up.

I used to always hide illness or pain from clients, coworkers, anyone really. I worked from home but I never really acknowledged how much that was a necessity for a big part of my life. I cannot stand for 4-8 hours let alone a full hour.

I ask for chairs and sit down often. I take more breaks. I allow more time in my schedule for transitions. I don’t talk negatively about myself when I mess up. I have sat down in a crowd of people.

I’m a wife, mom, advocate, coach and so much more. I could never show you the totality of my life. I will do my best to continue to share openly here.

Thank you as always šŸ’•

You wonder… then catch yourself… I couldn’t be autistic. Wait? What is autism even?!



Autism is a neurological difference and largely an internal personal experience. From the outside, this might look like social difficulties, sensory sensitivity, and difficulty with emotional regulation.

Autistic adults feel lost for years, decades, often before getting answers.

People are not diagnosing themselves off social media, and it sucks to see people share vulnerable experiences only to be attacked.

Don’t worry. You can’t shut me up, and I cannot stop talking šŸ™Š

You feel alone so you live your life searching. You’re surrounded by people and deeply disconnected from them.

Your mind is a busy place and you cannot begin to verbally explain your thoughts or worries.

Then you learn you’re autistic and you have adhd. You realize that your body wasn’t breaking down, stimming was saving your life.

I’m so grateful for everyone in the autism and adhd awareness spaces. While I’ve focused on women in some posts, I know all neurodivergent adults need better support. It’s important you know that you are not alone.

I’m grateful to have 8.5K followers and hit millions of views each month on Instagram. This is impact.

I want to give a special shout out to a handful of my first Instagram friends and fellow creators. Thank you for being the first to show me some love in this community, engage in some way and welcome me when I needed the support.

You hear how others want you to be, your own thoughts and intentions can become crowded with opinions.

Life is worth living for YOU.

I can only speak for my own experience and that’s what I’m going to do. I didn’t know I was dealing with real anxiety, I was masking so hard I thought I couldn’t have adhd let alone autism. I was shocked and my life has been different ever since learning I was neurodivergent.

Accessibility is rarely given, we demand it or build a life that suits us.

Asking for help is the best thing I ever did.

Unfortunately, my doctors didn’t guide me to a better lifestyle or tell me to reduce stress. I made so many calls! My boss wasn’t on my side either, shocker.

I had to learn a lot on my own and begged for answers. It took me a while to find what I needed. The validation I started to find after meeting my own coach was unreal. Tangible personal support at a time I needed it. Clarity and recognition for what I was going through.

I didn’t need someone to tell me what to do. I needed to feel certainty at a time that there were a lot of unknowns.

Flash forward, now I have clients around the world and I am so lucky to see them find more confidence and peace in their lives.

What do I mean? I design visual tools for neurodivergent adults who have communication challenges, need help advocating, or are building relationships. I also provide a safe space.

Coaching is for times of transition or change, you’ll know when you need me. Affordable rates and sliding scale available.

You are moving so fast and always feeling behind. Your mind is racing.

You make mistakes in emails and even miss a slide in a postā€¦šŸ˜‚ Oh wait, that’s me! Scroll for the last time I attempted this.

ADHD plays tricks on your memory.

ADHD can make you feel like you’re losing it.

Especially when you face added stress or hormonal changes come into play.

Let’s be honest we were raised to be stressed out!

We were told to shut up and keep it in. Spoiler!! That doesn’t work. People with ADHD are processing more information. That’s true for many neurodivergent folks.

Let’s dive into adhd, shall we?

ADHD (attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder) impacts children and adults ā€¼ļø

It does not go away with time or maturity. Some symptoms worsen later in life or with hormonal changes.

The three distinquising elements in ADHD typically refer to hyperactivity, irritability, and restlessness.

For people with adhd, the behaviors are pervasive and present in multiple environments although they might not be visible. This was true for me.

Masking can make it difficult to tell when someone has racing thoughts clouding their mind, feels like they are not enough, or cannot pay attention.

I have safe socks. I knew I had safe shoes, two pairs that I trust.

Today I was reminded of how limited I can feel in simple moments. I have two brands of socks that I wear and that’s it. If it’s not those socks I cannot wear shoes that require socks.

Things must go together in a certain way. I also have chronic pain so my sensory issues get amplified by the reality that my back kills me it if I wear a flat soled cute shoe.

Cute is out and COMFORT wins for me. I need to feel safe and good in my clothes, down to the socks! 🧦

Anyone with me on this?

Sensory issues are one thing that makes us unique but it is often accompanied by complex experiences or limitations. Sensory overwhelm is painful.

This has me screwed up constantly!! I didn’t realize that’s what I missed for most of my life.

Whether I’m a new employee or the senior director, I speak to everybody the same.

I don’t ever intend to ignore anyone or over speak, but both things can happen.

I process information slower and sometimes I speak to help get myself more time.

People always knew I was DIFFERENT but now I have the answers for myself… I’m autistic and I have adhd.

I will be over here ready to excel in my own lane. āš ļøšŸš¦šŸ›£ļø
