This is an online space where you can:
– Connect with others on the same journey
– Find your own path to healing and recovery
– Discover who you are, what you like and what you need after a lifetime of masking
– Reconnect with your body and the parts of yourself that have been ignored or surpressed for as long as you can remember
– Learn more about AuDHD in women and know that your needs and experiences are valid and real
– Share appropriate anger about gender bias, women’s rights, systems that are failing us and the lack of understanding and research about neurodiversity in women
– Know that it’s not your fault that you’re in burnout – it’s a protective measure from the parts of you that have been compensating since you were little
– Learn about the typical crunch points for AuDHD women and the impact of critical life events – perinatal, perimenopause, menopause, grief, trauma, loss, etc
– Learn how to heal from the trauma of living undiagnosed with your needs continually dismissed or misunderstood
– Learn about burnout as a function that is trying to protect us
– Learn about the nervous system, how burnout is a function that is trying to protect us and find ways to regulate that don’t make things worse
– Learn to trust yourself, your instincts and what feels right for you
– Celebrate the small wins, because life is lived in the small details
– Find your calm and your confidence again, or maybe for the first time
