Uncovering You

Don’t wait until January to start feeling better.

If understanding yourself better, getting out of burnout, setting better boundaries, or figuring out what you actually need has been sitting on your “I really need to deal with that” list all year…

You still have four months.

Four months to stop automatically pushing through, to question the expectations you’ve been measuring yourself against, to experiment with what actually works for your brain.

Just taking the first steps to change things ❤️

If I were starting from scratch, I’d spend the next four months:

1. Investigating what is actually overwhelming me.

2. Unlearning the “shoulds” I’ve been using to judge myself.

3. Accommodating my needs instead of constantly pushing through them.

4. Going deeper with support, therapy, or whatever I need to actually make those changes stick.

Because especially when you’re late-diagnosed, there can be A LOT to unpack. You don’t need to figure all of that out in four months.

But imagine getting to January and being able to say: “I understand myself better than I did four months ago. And I’m actually starting to build my life around that.”

That’s a pretty good place to start 2027.

If you want support doing that work, I’m currently accepting therapy clients in CA, MI & FL.

I used to think not fitting in meant there was something wrong with me.

We’ve learned that belonging comes with conditions – that we need to be more palatable, more “normal,” more like everyone else to be worthy of connection.

For late-identified autistic and AuDHD adults, this hits differently. You’ve likely spent decades trying to decode the unwritten rules, “fixing” yourself to squeeze into spaces that were never designed for you, all while carrying this belief that if people knew the real you, they’d pull away.

But you don’t need to earn love by performing a more acceptable version of yourself. You deserve acceptance exactly as you are – stimming, special interests, sensory needs, communication style, and all.

It was never about you needing to change to fit in - it was about finding the people you fit with without needing to change who you are.

If you’re on a journey of unmasking, self-discovery, or simply learning to accept your neurodivergent self after years of trying to fit in – you’re in the right place. I share insights, validation, and support for late-discovered autistic and AuDHD adults navigating this path.
