For so much of my life, I felt like I was somehow too much and not enough at the exact same time.

Too emotional.
Too sensitive.
Too loud.
Too quiet.
Too needy.
Too independent.

Constantly trying to shrink parts of myself while desperately trying to prove my worth.

It’s exhausting carrying those stories.

As a trauma-informed coach, I understand that feeling to my core because I’ve lived it too.

The beautiful truth? You were never too much. You were never not enough.

Many of us have simply learned to hide, mask, and disconnect from parts of ourselves in order to feel safe, accepted, and loved.

My passion is helping NeuroSparkly women gently heal those wounded parts, reconnect with their authentic selves, and come home to who they truly are.

Because when you begin to see yourself through compassionate eyes, you discover something incredible…

Your sparkly brain was never broken.

It was always worthy, always valuable, and always enough. ✨💙

School Can’t … Navigating tough journeys.

I’ve had to navigate some really rough, toxic and deeply challenging seasons across my decades… but I truly believe they’ve shaped the way I now move through life, parenting and coaching with far more compassion, understanding and gentleness.

The “school can’t” journey has been one of the most consuming experiences of the last four years.

As a teacher, I know traditional schooling isn’t the right fit for every child.
As an AuDHD coach, I feel that truth deep in my core.
But when it’s your own teen… when you’re living it beside them every single day… the emotional weight can feel enormous.

Wanting the very best for them.
Trying every avenue.
Researching every option.
Offering support in calm, kind and compassionate ways while also trying to hold yourself together in the process.

There were seasons where I was awake half the night physically supporting and regulating alongside him.
Now I often wake feeling sick with anxiety, wondering what messages came through overnight and how the day ahead might unfold.

I’ve done countless seminars, trainings and deep dives into anxiety, nervous systems, neurodivergence and school refusal/school can’t… not just as a coach or teacher, but as a mum trying to understand and support her child in the safest, healthiest way possible.

Right now we are applying for two different pathways, with homeschooling again sitting there quietly as a backup option if needed.

One thing has never changed through all of the hidden tears, stress and overwhelm… the unconditional love and support.

But I also want to say this honestly for the parents quietly carrying this too… it’s freaking exhausting.

And if this is your journey right now, please know you’re not failing.
You’re navigating something incredibly hard while still trying to protect your child’s sparkle and sense of self along the way. ✨

Words I didn’t think I’d ever say.

I’m so far from competitive … I’m the mum that would cheer for both soccer teams playing. 🤣

Marshall wanted to teach me chess, so I bought a board for dummies (literally) to help me out but no, I wasn’t allowed to add the symbols on the bottom, wasn’t allowed to read the cheat sheets or game moves and work my way into it. 🤣

I had to go in blind and learn from scratch, couldn’t write notes or even pieces names down (he is a brutal teacher and nothing like me in that way 🤣)

But now I’m the one asking him to play, or to play another game. I never thought I’d say it but I’m really enjoying it.

I’m not very good but I’m so much better than what I was. There was a great little highlight tonight of me putting him in check mate.

The best part is the connection between us and the time we share together.

Healthy coping mechanisms… what’s your go to? ✨

When things on the inside feel a little messy…
When life feels quietly overwhelming…
When your brain wants all of the answers instantly but healing, growth and clarity all take time…

What do you naturally lean towards?

Mine?
Cleaning and organising 🤣

Suddenly everything is folded, colour coordinated, stacked, labelled, donated, rehomed or thrown out.
Cupboards get rearranged. Draws become aesthetic. Random baskets appear.

Because sometimes when my brain feels overloaded, creating calm in my environment helps create calm in my nervous system too.

And honestly… as an ADHD/ASD woman and trauma informed coach, I’ve learnt that healthy coping mechanisms aren’t something to feel guilty about.
They’re information.
They’re support strategies.
They’re our body and brain trying to create safety, predictability and regulation in ways that work for us.

Some people walk.
Some journal.
Some gym.
Some garden.
Some clean.
Some blast music and sing at full volume in the car 🤣

The goal isn’t perfection.
The goal is finding safe, supportive ways to move through the overwhelm without abandoning yourself in the process.

So now I’m curious…
What’s your healthy “go to” when life feels a bit too loud on the inside? ✨

There is something incredibly healing about dating yourself.

Not as a “backup plan” while waiting for someone else to choose you…
But as a lifelong commitment to your own peace, joy and wellbeing.

Learning what calms your nervous system.
What sparks your laughter.
What makes your soul feel safe, seen and alive.

🧁 Taking yourself for a sweet treat.
🌸 Buying the flowers.
🛌 Resting without guilt.
⛰️ Exploring new places.
💃 Dancing in the kitchen.
💖 Creating a life that genuinely feels good to come home to.

No expectations.
No second guessing.
No constantly wondering if someone else’s words and actions will finally align.

Just a deep, steady investment into yourself.

6 years into this journey and I’m honestly loving it.

Two past marriages failed… and both relationships lasted around 7 years. Looking back now, I can see that was about how long it took for my nervous system to completely shatter to what it felt like to be beyond repair.

But this relationship with myself feels different.

I’m not giving myself ultimatums.
I’m not abandoning myself.
I’m not waiting for repeated patterns of hurt, disappointment or emotional survival mode.

Instead… I’m building.
✨Healing.
✨Growing.
✨Learning.
✨Unmasking.
✨Laughing more.
✨Protecting my peace.

And freaken loving all of it. 💖

Because the safest relationship I’ve ever created…
Is the one I finally built with myself.

“It’s so nice that you are on morning duty at the gate each day.”

💐 “Oh … that’s not my duty. I have my regular duty.”

“But you are there all of the time. “

💐 “Yep, the only time I miss it is if I’m off sick or we have a random meeting.”

✨”But why? “ …

✨Become sometimes people need a positive glitter bug to welcome them of a morning.

🙂 Sometimes they need a smile or a fist bump or many need a hug. Both parents and kids.

🍳 🪥 Sometimes they have had a really tough morning of demands to get ready, eat your breakfast, brush your teeth … hurry up we’re going to be late … and I’m sure some hear that with grumbles and threats and not always love and kindness.

Sometimes school is overwhelming, daunting and doesn’t always feel like a safe space.

Sometimes transition from cars and through the gate can feel like a nightmare. I have even sat in a number of cars or crouched beside them to try to help calmly navigate the situation.

So me pretending to steal their breakfast, 🎵 singing happy birthday on their special day, sometimes my hugs and crazy quirky outfits can be the added little sparkle they need to make it a little bit easier for them.

And why it all started? …

Because at home I have that child who would benefit from connection with someone else so much. Because I have cried on the way to work many mornings when I have tried it all and don’t know how else to support my not so little one. I get to start each day trying to share some love, positivity and kindness.

Appointments, medications, referrals, more appointments, different medication and now awaiting a locked in 3 hour pain management team appointment at Sydney Children’s hospital. The amount of courses and trainings I have done to deepen my knowledge and support. I’m using my journey in a way to help others feel seen, heard and understood too.

I know first hand how hard mornings can be from all different perspectives. I have learnt to navigate mine very calmly externally while being crushed internally.

So this sweet gesture bought tears to my eyes. (Names removed just in case)

You don’t look autistic…
It’s something so many of us hear, and if I’m honest, it can feel confusing and invalidating all at once.

Because autism doesn’t have a “look.”
Neither does ADHD, OCD or CPTSD.

So… how exactly am I meant to “look”?

For a long time, I tried to look “right.”
To blend in.
To mask.
To shape myself into something more acceptable, more understood, more comfortable for others.

But the people who truly know me?
They know my authentic “look” has always been rainbows, sparkles and all things quirky.

And the more I’ve felt safe to acknowledge who I really am…
the more those layers of masking have started to fall away.

This is what healing has looked like for me:
Less shrinking.
Less second-guessing every word, every action, every interaction.
Less of those relentless internal loops… the overthinking, the self-criticism, the harsh inner dialogue that once ran the show.

And more of this:
✨More self-acceptance.
✨More compassion for the parts of me that were only ever trying to keep me safe.
✨More space to be unapologetically me.

Because the biggest shift was never about how I look on the outside…
It was learning how to feel safe on the inside.

The work hasn’t been easy.
It’s been layered, confronting and deeply personal.

Through years of learning, healing, training, and unlearning… I didn’t just gather qualifications … I found myself.

And I’m genuinely proud that I’m not the same person I was five years ago… or in any of the decades before that.

If you’ve ever felt like you don’t “look” the way the world expects…
If you’re navigating AuDHD, trauma, or the quiet weight of masking v’s unmasking…

You’re not alone. ✨✨✨

One of the hardest things I’ve ever learned… was how to be gentle with myself.

After over four decades of giving, supporting, holding space, and showing up for everyone else…I realised I had no idea how to offer that same kindness inward.

Not because I didn’t care, but because I didn’t truly believe I was worthy of it.

We pour love into others with ease…yet hold ourselves to impossible standards.
We offer compassion outward… while speaking harshly within.

My 40’s have intentional become a chapter of deep self-love, growth, and unlearning.
✨A chapter where I’m choosing kindness over criticism.
✨Gentleness over pressure.
✨Acceptance over perfection

Massive shifts, awareness and alignment.

And in doing that I didn’t just change my own life… I changed what my children see, feel, and believe about themselves.

✨Because self-love isn’t selfish. It’s modelling.

And the ripple effect of that kind of gentle, consistent self-acceptance… is where true healing begins 🤍✨

You know it’s one of those random Sundays…

Lunch with Mina, three different shops later and still no protein shaker 🤣 (but somehow I did come home with Nerf bullets… priorities, right?)

Then it was chess…
followed by homemade pretzels … completely way off the actual recipe, lots of laughter, flour everywhere… and absolutely no success to show for it 🤣 straight in the bin.

The lounge room turned into a full sensory mash-up…
‘Rick and Morty’ playing (the TV hasn’t been on in over 6 months 😅)
vs ‘Mmmbop’ and ‘Rock Around the Clock’ while I attempt some very questionable “little people” dance moves 🤣

Add in multiple Nerf gun battles… slightly painful, very committed… and a house now covered in foam bullet “shrapnel.”

The cats decided it was their moment and joined the chaos… Miss 19 made it very clear we were being far too loud 😏

There were giggles.
There were bruises.
There was a very strategic retreat… by me 😅

But underneath all the mess, the noise, the chaos… even the pain…
there was connection.

The kind that doesn’t look polished or perfect.
The kind you feel in the middle of it all.

And honestly… I wouldn’t trade it for anything 🍀 Wishing we actually looked like this.
