šŸ¤©šŸ‘‰ Check out my new book! ✨
āœļø I developed this with much feedback (and the occasional groan) from my 11yr old neurospicy kiddo… and they actually LOVE the final product!

They even insisted that I add ā€œLegendaryā€ to the title! 🤣

I hope this will be a great resource for families wanting to ā€œdo educationā€ a bit differently for their kids.

šŸ“– What’s Inside?? šŸ‘€
The Legendary Learning Log isn’t just another academic tracker; it’s a personalized roadmap for learning that encourages self-discovery, critical thinking, and consistent growth. Created by a clinical psychologist and mother with a deep understanding of neurodivergent needs, this log is tailored to support students of all learning styles. Its development was informed by years of experience working with children and adolescents who thrive on structure but also need space for flexibility and creativity.

✨ Weekly Prompts for Intentional Learning: Every week, students are prompted to track their learning activities and interests. Whether it’s a deep dive into a subject, an exciting hands-on project, or an off-the-beaten-path discovery, these prompts guide learners to capture what matters most to them. It’s not about grades or rote memorization; it’s about engaging with content that sparks curiosity and creativity.

✨ Understanding Through Reflection: The log encourages learners to demonstrate understanding in ways that go beyond traditional tests and essays. Each week, students are invited to summarize key concepts, create quiz questions, and link new information to their own personal interests and long-term goals. This approach not only deepens retention but also fosters a growth mindset, where learning is seen as an evolving, enjoyable process.

✨Personalized, Long-Term Accountability: The weekly format helps maintain consistent progress while keeping the process fun and flexible. Tracking your learning in this log creates a sense of personal accountability without the pressure of strict deadlines. It’s a tool that adapts to each learner’s pace, helping them stay on track while embracing their individual learning style.

šŸŽ This would be a unique and useful gift for back-to-school season!

Excerpt from my article:
ā€œGratitude is often celebrated as a cornerstone of emotional well-being. Practicing gratitude can foster contentment, strengthen relationships, and improve overall mental health. However, when taken to extremes or misapplied, gratitude can morph into toxic positivity and become a hindrance to personal autonomy and growth, can stifle emotional authenticity, discourage self-improvement, and ultimately perpetuate oppression and systemic inequities.ā€

Excerpt from my new article on :

ā€œPublic reaction to Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s statements about autism has been overwhelmingly critical, with widespread condemnation from health experts, advocacy groups, and even members of his own family. Leading medical professionals and organizations have strongly denounced Kennedy’s remarks, and The Autism Society of America expressed concern that Kennedy’s false claims about vaccines causing autism divert financial resources from much-needed research and fuel stigma, implying that autism is something to be feared rather than understood and supported.

As a clinical psychologist focused on neurodiversity-affirming care, my heart ached alongside my clients’ tears as they described the impact of the public statements that ā€œautism destroys familiesā€ and claimed it to be a ā€œpreventable disease.ā€ Working with children, teens, and adults with autism and other neurodivergent profiles, I have become acutely aware of the strengths and unique abilities they possess. Anyone who thinks autism is a tragedy, clearly has not seen the amazingly creative, passionate, authentic, joyful, innovative, and determined ways that many autistic people live their lives. I have seen time after time that environmental and institutional factors cause more distress for autistic individuals than do their innate differences.

I have witnessed the relief, self-compassion, and shift from shame to self-love that late-life diagnosed autistic people experience when they start to view the world, not themselves, as the broken component. I have also seen how alcohol or other intoxicants can become masking tools for neurodivergent people as they attempt to blend in and navigate a world that isn’t sensitive to their experience.ā€

My aches and creaks used to seriously mess up on my mornings… but sleeping with my feet on an sleep mat at the foot of the bed made a huge improvement to my pain, achiness, brain fog, and hot flashes…

is one of my personal mantras (and I have the tattoo to prove it)… but the type of swimming is important! Are you swimming toward something? Or away? Are you swimming hard beyond the point of exhaustion? Or are you floating to rest when needed?

Our culture praises and pushing through hard times… but that’s NOT always healthy!

During hard times, it is critically important to:





Getting comfortable with discomfort leads to personal growth, healthy coping, and authentic living.

What are your for learning and growing through hardship?

9/11 is always a tough day for me, and my love and support go out to everyone struggling with this annual reminder of this trauma.

I lived 3 blocks from the Empire State Building in NYC when the twin towers were attacked… and I was so lucky to have not lost loved ones that day.

The memories of 9/11 and the following weeks are still painful… I still cry sporadically each 9/11… I still get knots in my stomach when certain memories intrude… I haven’t been able to visit the site of the memorial… I avoid news programs about it…

But each year, I unravel a little less on 9/11… each year I heal a bit more from that trauma…

I will
And… I will continue healing… I hope the same for you… šŸ’•

It’s so hard to break the default mode of trying to comfort someone by telling them to or implying they’re overreacting…
But this change is one of the most powerful shifts, and worth the effort!
