Shadow Work
Walking Away From Intergenerational Trauma
Itโs been a year since Iโve spoken to either of my parents. It was in the midst of understanding myself, for the first time, as an autistic person.

Navigating unprecedented times with health and sanity
Hi all, happy Sunday. A quick love note. Thereโs a big question going around right now which has to do with how we should navigate our lives + direct our attention, given the constant exposure we have to global events. Some are using guilt and shame to extend their message (policing how we post or donโt post, the things we say and donโt say publicly). Oโฆ
