Thank you Luisa. It feels like Substack offerings are trending toward "over deliver" as there are more and more newsletters to subscribe to, but I know from experience it is a slippery slope.
💯 hear you and relate to this. The school holidays are a lot when you're used to have some time to call your own and create. My post this week is in a similar vein.
We're actually back to school now for the fall semester. I'm a uni instructor and home educate so the summer holidays are actually a break for me. Are you in the UK? It seems summer break happens at a very different time there.
I wrote about saying no last week (and I’ve been saying it more and more) and I’ve been posting fortnightly through the summer and it’s been just right. Also, love the logo!!😍
Exactly where I’m at right now... looking at the plates I need to put to one side, some I need to smash all together, and some I am clinging onto because they bring me a lot of joy!! So relate to the feeling of being at max capacity... I could manage it before motherhood... then with one baby it was harder but now with two I find myself maxing out way sooner than I used to AND not having enough time to replenish! It’s a ride!!!!! X
Yes and yes. Getting my children ready for school, trying/changing meds for one of them-I’m not as stressed as I have been in the past (thanks, Zoloft & therapy), but simple things are a real struggle right now (thanks, executive dysfunction!). I’ve been on Insta very little this summer and Substack more, which has been great. Hoping you can find a good sitter soon. ❤️
This has been my experience as an autistic parent as well. It's a struggle. I'm looking forward to my oldest going to pre-k this year, having some more one-on-one time with my youngest, and (hopefully!🤞🏻) some increased bandwidth.

Glad to hear you've had some Amanda time. I'll let you know when the nest is fully feathered. 🪺

I am. It's 5-6 weeks from mid/late July.

That's great! My trouble is picking up and starting things no one has even asked me to do. So I have to say no to myself. 😂
Lol. Relatable.

It is a ride! How about we both smash plates and make a mosaic?
Now you are talking!
I've been beyond capacity for several months, but I think things might be getting better now.
I feel that. Wishing you ease. 🍃

I had no idea how much it was going to affect me! It's 4 years on and I just feel I am getting my head above water. Parenting is intense.
Yes! We're going on 5 in December, and same here. I feel like I'm just now finding some semblance of equilibrium.
Loving that logo!
And thank you. Great post and role modelling
Thank you Janelle. 🤍
I'm on Discord and would love to join the Neuro Nest!
I'll send an invite when it is fully feathered! 🪺
Ia haven't written my newsletter for months 😭
It's a lot of work! And only so much time to go around.
Hi Sarah, I am glad to here that you are listening to what you need and spinning/juggling less plates!
I would be really interested in joining The Neuro Nest.
Thank you for another great article. 🖤
Thank you Becky! I'll send you an invite when the nest is fully feathered. 🪺
