Start Here

Feeling overwhelmed? You're in the right place.

If you're here, you're likely carrying a lot…and already trying your best.

This page is your guide to everything available here so you can find the right support without digging through every page or post.

Whether you're an autism parent, a neurodivergent parent, or both, you are welcome! And I’m glad you’re here!

In crisis?

This site is full of emotional support and practical tools, but it’s not a crisis resource.

If you are in immediate danger or need urgent mental health care, please call 911.

Who am I?!

Hey - I’m Karen. A Certified Master Life Coach, meditation instructor, autism parent, and fellow neurodivergent human.

This is a no-judgment zone. I’m not here to “fix” you or tell you what you need to do to help your kid…I’m here to walk alongside and support you.
