🧠✨ Attachment Styles & the Neurodivergent Mind ✨🧠
High-achieving. Deep-feeling. Always thinking.
But when it comes to relationships, personal or professional, do you:
➡️ Crave connection but fear abandonment?
➡️ Push others away but long for closeness?
➡️ Feel safe only when you’re in control?
➡️ Or do you finally feel secure and grounded?

This Attachment Styles Wheel offers powerful insight into how we relate to others and ourselves.

For many neurodivergent high performers, masking, hyper-independence, perfectionism, and emotional intensity stem from early relational wounds, not just wiring. 😔

💡 The GOOD news?
Understanding your attachment style is the first step to breaking patterns, regulating your nervous system, and building more authentic relationships, without burning out.

💬 Which style feels most familiar to you right now?
💛 My coaching helps neurodivergent women move from masking to magic, rewiring attachment responses for more secure, aligned, and fulfilling lives.

📲 DM me “ATTACHMENT” if you’re ready to dive deeper.

Thought for Today
“You don’t need to fix your wiring. You need support that honors your circuit board.” Dr. Leah Merle.

Too many neurodivergent folks are told they’re “too much,” “too scattered,” or “too sensitive.”

But your wiring isn’t wrong, it’s just different. And it deserves care that celebrates its brilliance.

Today’s reminder:
You don’t need to change who you are.
You need support that gets you.

✨ You are not a problem to be solved. You are a system to be understood.

Join the journey!

Coaching designed for neurodivergent minds.....Start here......
Ever felt like traditional self-help or coaching just… doesn’t fit?

📌 Like it's all hustle, “just focus harder,” or “you’re not trying enough”?

That’s because it wasn’t designed with neurodivergence in mind.

💭 What if coaching was built around how you process the world. Your intensity, your sensitivity, your creative rhythms?

That’s what I offer:
🧠 Coaching that embraces neurodivergence.
🌈 Trauma-informed tools that actually stick.
💬 A space where you don’t need to mask.
