Organizing your Self: following your intuition to keep track of All the Things as an ND creative.
As an AuDHD woman, when I seek organization, I’m seeking a sense of calm and a feeling of control. And the best way to feel calm and in control of my life is to connect with my intuitive self and trust in my ability to meet my own needs.
What are neuro-affirming editorial services?
Neuro-affirming editing approaches the writer-editor relationship with an understanding and an appreciation for all the gifts and challenges of neurodivergence. I get it because I myself am AuDHD. So, not only can I celebrate you in all your gifts, I can support you in your struggles as well. I can also tailor my approach to your unique needs, affirming your ND identity as valid and safe.

Finding focus when it feels elusive.
Sustaining focus as a neurodivergent person can be challenging. I’ve spent the last few years really paying attention to what I need for focus to feel accessible. I’ve identified six core items that help boost my ability to focus.
Why I focus on neuro-affirming support for writers and creatives.
Every neurodivergent individual has needs that are unique and essential to their authentic self expression. I bring my neurodivergent self to my work because I have accepted that I cannot exist any other way. I need to approach life and work from my heart and with my whole self, and I want the people I work with to be able to show up in the same way.
