This Is Me

We’re often sold the idea that “being well” means morning gym sessions and green juices. And if that's your thing, then great!

But for many of us, especially if you’re neurodivergent or living with a chronic health condition, wellness might look a bit different.

It might mean:
- Saying “no” and not feeling bad about it
- Asking for the support you actually need
- Spending the whole day in bed (no explanation required)
- Surrounding yourself with people who just get it
- Having time and space for stimming, rest, or just being

Use this post as your reminder to prioritise your wellness. We’re strong believers in gentle, doable self-care, the kind that honours your body, your brain, and your boundaries. 🙏💜

Have you ever been called “lazy” when, in reality, you’re completely stuck at the thought of writing an email, getting dressed, or just opening a form? 😥

It’s not laziness. It’s executive dysfunction and it’s time we called it what it is: a genuine access need.

In this post, we’re talking about what executive dysfunction actually is, the ways it shows up day-to-day, and what can genuinely make a difference.

We received this adorable postcard in the office recently thanking the team for their hard work, and couldn’t not share it 🐸💌

Sometimes, a little gratitude and a tiny frog with a book is all you need to brighten the day. 💜

Card reads: “Dear Kelly & Michelle, Here are the forms! Thank you so much for your help so far. I hope this tiny frog reading a book somehow conveys my gratitude, or at least makes you smile! Becca”

Feeling a bit wobbly today? This is your reminder that you don’t need to power through. 💜

Taking care of yourself doesn't need to be difficult.

It can be as simple as moving your body, grabbing your favourite snack, or giving yourself full permission to rest.

It all counts. Do whatever feels right for you in the moment. Your body will thank yourself for it!

How are you caring for yourself today? Let us know ☺👇

Ever feel like you’re “on” all day at work, even when no one’s watching? That constant performance? It’s called masking. And it’s draining. 🪫

In this post, we’re unpacking how masking impacts your mental health and what you can do to protect your energy

You deserve to show up as you, not just a version of you that makes other people comfortable. 🙏💜
