You don't have to be productive to deserve to exist✨

In this episode:

• I’m exhausted and working on a massive sleep deficit, so please forgive the times I can’t find the right word or phrase

• I give both of us a pep talk to make it through today, and ride the wave (of bad mental/physical health, ADHD brain, busyness, etc, etc).

• Lots of things get in the way of creativity, goals, and plans, and self worth, but we don’t have to be productive to deserve to exist

• When it feels like you *don’t* even want to do the things you *know* you want to do

• Whatever you’re going through, consider me your also-struggling sidekick

• Carefully walking that line between giving yourself rest when you need it and a kick in the pants to get started with things you want to do

• A quick update on my creative projects: How It Feels To Me (picture book on neurodivergence with Sarah Shotts) and Things Not Said (I’m querying it as a graphic novel, but you can read the prose version here)

Drop a 🎈 in the comments if you’ve been going through it—I want to celebrate the fact you’ve made it through this month, this week, today, this minute with you! ✨You just existing is magical and deserves celebrating. ✨
