It’s not hard brain science for us to understand as parents— but It is hard to live by.

This e-book will help (see link).

And remember, the goal is progress, not perfection.

Plus, if you are still reading this, it’s already 98.6% guaranteed that you are a rock star.

Because, clearly, you care.

And that is half the battle when it comes to breaking generational cycles.

Connection before correction.

Or better yet, re-direction.

This free positive parenting ebook will get you started. 💚

HOW BRAVE IT IS
TO CONTINUE TO SHOW UP

THAT LOOKS SO

Rest Is Productive

💡 Your worth isn’t measured by your output.

We live in a world that glorifies “doing more” — but for neurodiverse brains, constantly pushing without rest can lead to burnout faster than we think.

Rest isn’t “wasted time.”
🛋️ Rest is recovery.
🧠 Rest is brain maintenance.
💛 Rest is an essential part of how we show up as our best selves.

Whether it’s a nap, zoning out with your favourite music, stimming, doodling, or just sitting quietly — you are still doing something valuable: you’re recharging.

✨ Today, give yourself full permission to pause.
Your brain (and your future self) will thank you.

✨ Self-Care Tip for Neurodiverse Brains ✨
Self-care isn’t always bubble baths and candles.
For some of us, it’s noise-cancelling headphones in the supermarket, having three of the same T-shirt so we don’t have to think about what to wear, or saying “no” without guilt when we’re running on empty.

Your version of self-care is valid — even if it doesn’t look like anyone else’s.
What’s one thing you do to make your days a little easier? 💛

Burnt out is a common experience with neurodivergent folk and remember your capacity shifts day to day, which is totally normal!

Juggling all of life’s things is not easy. Keep an eye on your capacity and don’t feel bad for making adjustments or taking breaks when you need to. Human-ing is hard 🤹

🌈 Hey neurospicy crew — this one’s for you!

Sick of counselling that feels like it was designed for neurotypical brains?
Sick of being told to “just breathe” or “use a planner” like that magically fixes executive dysfunction?
Yeah… same.

At Being-Well Counselling and Psychoeducation, I work with your brain — not against it. Whether you’re navigating ADHD, autism, sensory sensitivities, or just feeling like the world wasn’t built for how you process things, you deserve support that actually makes sense for you. 🧠⚡

✔️ No pressure to make eye contact.
✔️ We can move while we talk, play while we process, or sit in silence if that’s what you need.
✔️ You can unmask. You can stim. You can be fully, wonderfully YOU.

I’m Kate Sheldon — counsellor, neurodivergent-friendly human, and passionate about doing therapy differently.

You’re not “too much” — you’ve just been trying to fit in systems that weren’t built for you. Let’s build something better together. 💛
