Unlock Your Safe & Comforting Space

Dear Reader!,

Welcome to June my beautiful friends. If you are in the States, you know is National Pride Month! This is the post I made on social media that I'd like to share with you.

A time To Remember and Celebrate

I'm a proudly queer cisgender woman who also identifies on the ace spectrum, polyamourous, and pansexual.

To all those who are loudly and proudly out - I celebrate you
To all those all those who aren't able to come out yet - I love you
To all those who are true allies and accomplices - I appreciate you
To all those who are quietly living their lives - I value you
To all those who's lives have been lost - I remember you
To all those who's shoulders I stand on - I honor you
To all those who are newly out - I adore you
To all those who fight the good fight - I treasure you
To all those who feel invisible - I see you
To all those who feel like they are screaming into a void - I hear you
To all those who are transitioning to their authentic selves - I respect you
To all those who are questioning, curious, unsure - I recognize you
To all those who walk the queer path - I cherish each and every one of you.
Don't forget you are a bad a$$.

Two Nights, Same ADHD Brain

Night One.

I am presenting an hour long presentation for an International Audience. Despite some technical snafus, I ended the night feeling amazing. I was articulate. I was insightful.

I left the evening feeling that high that comes from nailing something that scared the bejeepers out of me. I walked away feeling capable and confident and just a little bit taller.

Then Came Night Two.

This Week's Quick Tips: Ways to Make Your Space Feel Safe and Regulating

A safe and regulating space doesn’t have to be expensive, Pinterest-worthy, or perfectly organized. The goal is to shift your mindset from “How should this room look?” towards “What would make this room feel a little easier to exist in?”

Notice what your nervous system is already telling you. Your body often knows what feels safe before your brain does.
Reduce one source of sensory friction. Start by addressing one thing that’s consistently bothering you—harsh lighting, clutter, noise, uncomfortable seating, strong smells, or visual chaos.
Add Things That Feel Like You Photos, artwork, books, pride flags, plants, collectibles, favorite colors, or meaningful objects can remind your nervous system that you belong here.
Build in Comfort Before You Need It Keep comfort items visible and accessible. Blankets, fidgets, headphones, water bottles, heating pads, sensory tools, or favorite teas are much more useful when they’re easy to reach.
Make the Space Work for Your Actual Life Forget how a room is “supposed” to look. If keeping a basket by the door, a charger in every room, or supplies out in the open helps you function, that’s a valid design choice.
Give Yourself Permission to Nest Many neurodivergent people naturally create little nests or comfort zones. Pillows, blankets, cozy lighting, and familiar objects can provide a surprising amount of regulation.

What will you do today to make your space feel one step closer to safe and regulating?

Gentle Reflection Question

If shame wasn’t in the room, what choice would you make?
