๐Ÿ”ฎ If you've missed all the memos elsewhere, I am DESPERATELY trying to get back behind the chair. I've been having the worst time trying to get things to crosspost from Instagram and I just realize I've been totally neglecting all my Facebook folks! Here's the full scoop:

๐Ÿ˜ฅ I closed at the end of 2025 to take a full time (40 hours/5 day a week) job and VERY quickly discovered that there was something massively wrong. At first I thought I just needed time to adjust but things continued to be an immense struggle every day -- so much so that I ended up being diagnosed with ADHD and Level I Autism Spectrum Disorder. I discovered that I am, in fact, significantly disabled and that my self-employment (that is, all of YOU) were a huge part of what had allowed me to function all these years. With that gone, I fell apart.

๐Ÿ™๐Ÿป With a greater appreciation than ever for this work, I am trying to come back but FIRST I need to prove I can still financially support myself here. So right now my schedule for the month of September 2026 is OPEN! I am trying to fill 100 hours of butts-in-chair-time to ensure I can safely re-open and at this moment I am 92% to that goal. At 95% I will put in my notice at this job and I will finally have a light at the end of this tunnel of torture.

๐Ÿ’œ If you were sad I closed, now is the time to book and help bring me back! Existing clients can book at https://book.squareup.com/appointments/ebd53d04-b2ba-4122-ab99-5262ecedfe01/location/70FCRVC3JHJ1X/services.

If you are a NEW client, I do require you to fill out a price estimate form first.

Thank you all so much for your consideration as every minute booked with me will genuinely help a real person feel actually human again. ๐Ÿฅฒ

๐Ÿคž๐Ÿป I'm only 3% away from being able to put in my notice at this job. My husband said to me as I was leaving for work this morning, "I want my bright, vibrant wife back. You've been dim for too long." And I almost lost it right there. I'm not sure if you all would recognize the version of me I am without all of you. ๐Ÿ˜“

๐Ÿค๐Ÿป I'm so close. If you love my work and you've been sad I closed and are happy to see me (hopefully!) coming back, PLEASE consider booking an appointment. Every minute you schedule will help a very real person feel like they are actually human again. I appreciate you all so much more than ever. ๐Ÿ’œ

Dye My Hair with Me ๐Ÿ”ฅโœŒ๐Ÿป๐Ÿงก A big part of my autism is feeling like the outside of me matches how I feel inside, which, for me is delightfully quirky and weird. (If I do say so myself. ๐Ÿ’…๐Ÿป) And two days ago I ran into one of my favorite clients (.savage) who helped remind me of who that person is and reminded me to continue doing things I love and remember who TF I am. So, I dyed my hair, as one does.

Incidentally I had plans to go to the Renn Faire today so timing was spot on. Since I rarely make videos like this AND I've been letting my weird out even more than ever in an attempt to more fully unmask, I worked hard on making this as fun and silly as possible so I hope it doesn't flop. ๐Ÿคž๐Ÿป

To be clear, I'm still struggling but getting unsolicited advice just makes the emotional weight worst. I also don't want to be perpetually negative here and only share the same vent over and over again.

If you've read this far, here's a little reminder of a few things NOT to say to a neurodivergent person who has disclosed their diagnosis to you:

โญ"But you seem so normal?!"
โญ"Oh EVERYONE experiences that..." (referring to overstimulation, anxiety, etc. I promise you it is MUCH worse for us)
โญ "You should XYZ." (as if (1) I haven't already considered every option and (2) ADHD immediately makes me violently repulsed by whatever you tell me I "should" do.)

Ok. That's enough of that. Hope you're having a good weekend. โœŒ๐Ÿป

๐Ÿ™ƒ I'm so angry with myself. (And thanks for listening ๐Ÿ’œ)

๐Ÿ™๐ŸปIt's been 5+ months. Life has been a ride. You all have been such a big part of my life and I know I can't be the only person seeking community during difficult times. If you are Neurodivergent (ADHD/Autistic), especially of you were late diagnosed, I want to reconnect.

If that's you, drop a comment or emoji and, most importantly, DM me so we can connect. ๐Ÿ’œ
