When overwhelm builds, what helps bring you back to calm?
For some, it’s quiet time. For others, it’s a movement break, a certain texture, or even a song.
I’d love to hear from you:
What strategies do you or your child use when feeling overwhelmed?
Let’s build a list together—one that honours our different needs.
Ever been told, “You’re just too sensitive,” like it was a bad thing?
Your sensitivity isn’t a flaw—it’s a sign of deep awareness. A finely-tuned nervous system. A super-attuned way of being in the world.

Have you ever seen a child melt down and had someone whisper, “They just need more discipline”? 😔
It’s a common misunderstanding—and one I want to help shift.
My latest video breaks down the real differences between meltdowns, shutdowns, and tantrums, especially in neurodiverse children.

Let me know your thoughts in the comments—what’s something you wish more people understood about this?
Let’s start with a gentle question:
Can you remember the first time you realised you experienced the world differently from others around you?
Maybe it was in childhood. Maybe it’s something you’ve only just recognised as an adult.
You’re not alone in that feeling—and here, you’re always welcome just as you are.
💬 Feel free to share in the comments if you’d like to. I’d love to hear your story.
Because sometimes, a few minutes of soft, intentional sound is all we need to come home to ourselves.
