When Friendships Change (or need to)
It's easy to just write off losing friends as 'part of being human,' and it is that, but maintaining friendships is something we can develop

There are too many opportunities to feel misunderstood and like an outsider. We grow up seeing peers please the world with their ability to remember important dates, do what they said they’d do, not interrupt and let others talk.
Being neurodivergent can be lonely.
I have two sisters and two brothers by birth and mannnny more by choice. They never leave me wondering if I belong, and they grow with me in understanding my unique way of moving through the world.
Thriving Sister Coaching was born of my deep love for my role as a sister.
I am good at being a sister - at holding space, encouraging learning, and providing gentle accountability with a hearty dose of laughter.
Everything feels harder than it should and nobody seems to get you and your struggle.
If that describes your experience, I want you to know that a lot of what you’re struggling with may, in fact, be harder than it is for others. You’re not imagining it.
You do things your own way and sometimes it takes too long or doesn’t work out. I get it. I’ve lived it and I’m helping others slow the spinning and move forward.
Can you imagine your life with less shame and more space for healing and growth?

What's on my mind
I love to write, but sometimes I need a place to try on ideas. Hear my 'rough draft' thoughts on all things personhood, neurodivergent living, and healing in my Sunday letters.
