✌🏼Documenting life after escaping Neurodivergent Burnout ✈️ Alt Living for High Masking Autism & ADHD 🧾MAEd, ADHD-RSP

It’s wild to think how much life has changed in the past year I’ve been partnering with .

….Mostly bc this ADHD girlie managed to remember to take a supplement almost everyday, twice a day 😉
.but I think that’s a real testament, not just to how much Stasis has improved my day-to-day over the last year, but also to their thoughtfuly designed ADHD tailored containers (that actually work AND look cute doing it!) .

So cheers to a life-changing year of more focus, more calm, and the gift of a work-life balance 🥂✨

“Shame dies in spaces where stories are shared out loud.”

I’ve heard many versions of that line over the years in church basements, community groups, and circles where people show up raw and real.

When you think you’re the only one, you start to believe you’re broken. Like you’re a problem that needs fixing.
But the moment you hear your own experience reflected back through someone else’s story, something inside you shifts. You exhale. You remember you’re not alone.

After teaching hundreds of classes on ADHD, autism, trauma, and healing, I’ve realized the most profound growth doesn’t come from information. It comes from connection. From those moments when someone shares something you’ve never said out loud, and you feel that wave of recognition and relief.

Those are the spaces that change us.
The ones where our hearts leave full.
Where the shame starts to dissolve.

And those spaces evolve as we do. Sometimes our focus is ADHD, sometimes it’s autism, anxiety, addiction, attachment, dyslexia, or trauma recovery. Whatever your season, one truth remains: we heal through community.

Never stop sharing your story.
You’re not too much.
You’re exactly what someone out there needs to hear.

Your story has power. Your story changes lives.

I’m on a mission to find joy again after one of the hardest years of my life. 20days in Vienna to see if travel can lift this existential dread.

Because sometimes the answer to the impossible question, is to do something completely unrelated to the impossible question.

Change your environment, wiggle your body, touch grass, seek out small joys and novel experiences. All of these have the power to rewire your brain and change your point of view.

Slowly but surely, I’m coming alive again ✨

Free Alexithymia Quiz (TOR) Below 👇👇

👩🏻‍🏫Alexithymia doesn’t mean you lack emotion. It means your brain processes emotional information differently, often through physical sensations instead of words.

🧠 Many autistic and ADHD adults experience some level of Alexithymia, especially when stressed or overstimulated.

Common signs you might relate to: 👇

• Feeling emotions in your body first, like a tight chest, nausea, or heaviness, before you can name them

• Struggling to explain why you feel a certain way

• Needing time to process emotions before you can talk about them

• Using broad terms like “good” or “bad” instead of specific words like “sad,” “overwhelmed,” or “disappointed”

• Finding logic easier to describe than feelings

• Having a hard time recognizing emotions in others unless they’re very clear

👩🏻‍🏫 Try this: 👇🏻

Put a few feelings wheels around your space to help expand your emotional vocabulary. I’ve got one printed on my coffee cup right now, and it’s such a helpful little reminder to check in.

If you’ve never seen one, just search “feelings wheel” on Amazon or Etsy and you’ll be set.

Emotional awareness is a skill that can grow with practice.

The key isn’t avoiding the dip altogether (we do need to wind down and sleep) but learning how to cushion the landing. That can look like: balancing blood sugar with protein-rich snacks, building in sensory resets, using gentle movement to shift energy, or leaning on targeted supports like

Once you understand the dip, you can support yourself through it instead of getting stuck in it.

✨🔮Imagine this🔮✨

👨🏼‍🎤You’re autistic, holding eye contact lightly because it helps you think, speaking plainly because clarity feels kind. The other person reads you as cold. You walk away feeling unseen, they walk away confused. That is the double empathy problem (a two-way mismatch in social signals between autistic and non-autistic people, first described by Dr. Damian Milton).

👩🏻‍🏫Here’s the science. Autistic to autistic conversations can pass information just as effectively as non-autistic to non-autistic ones, while accuracy and flow tend to drop mainly in mixed pairs. Autistic partners also report stronger rapport with each other than in mixed pairs, and outside observers can detect that difference in rapport too. First impression studies show that non-autistic observers form less favorable snap judgments of autistic people within seconds, which lowers willingness to engage, and those impressions improve when autism is disclosed and understanding increases. Perspective taking research confirms the mismatch goes both ways (both autistic and non-autistic people can misread each other).

🤝Empathy varies from person to person (autistic or not). Autism does not erase it. What helps is learning each other’s “social language” and agreeing on the basics up front (clear questions, time to process, permission to clarify).

💬👉🏻If this clicked for you, share it with someone who has only ever heard the deficit story.

For neurodivergent folks, that might mean rethinking ambition, refusing hustle culture, and honoring your energy cycles, sensory needs, and joy.

It’s recognizing that the version of success you were taught to chase may have been built for someone else’s brain, values, and nervous system.
 It’s letting go of the idea that productivity is the proof of your worth and instead choosing work rhythms that allow you to show up as your full self without running yourself into the ground.
 It’s creating space for rest without guilt, allowing your creativity to come in waves, and measuring success not just by deadlines met, but by how you feel at the end of the day.

That isn’t giving up. It’s choosing the kind of life that sustains you, one that leaves room for joy, connection, and the parts of you that exist far beyond your job title.

Who else is tired of feeling like their worth is tied to exhaustion?
