When I became a mom, I felt like a stranger in my own body and life until I understood that my neurodiverse brain wasn’t broken, it was just wired differently. That’s when I stopped trying to fit into practices made for others and started building systems for me!

Community used to be the foundation for life -- tradition, religion and social norms were the handbooks and rule books for living. Most of the world still relies on these tools for comfort and belonging. But most of the world isn’t set up for our neurodiverse minds, and those same expectations can often exclude and isolate us.

When I became a mom, I found myself solo-, then single-, then co-parenting my two young kids. I was overwhelmed by the abrupt increase in sensory input, the number of tasks that suddenly HAD to be done each day, and the lack of day-to-day support. I knew early development was critical to my kids’ success, so I had to be my own teacher, and fast!

I’ve spent the last ten years slowly (and painfully) piecing systems together through research, experience, and observation to build a life that was less what was expected of me and more what was true to me. I noticed patterns, broke them into their smallest parts and then put them back together into clear, simple, repeatable steps.

When other moms started trying and finding success with my methods, I knew I had to share these systems and build my own community.
