they/them
Howdy! My name is Courtney and I'm a late-diagnosed Autistic recovering from extreme burnout. I love dinosaurs, mermaids, making art, and playing video games! I prefer they/them pronouns. Nice to meet you! 💜

New video going up on Friday! NEW TIME - 10AM PST!
This is a video is honestly just me sitting down with you and talking. About burnout. About Autism. About chronic pain, PMDD, IBS, running a business, trying to survive in a world not built for me and trying to figure out how to keep moving forward when everything feels like it's just TOO MUCH.

Hey friends! Can you guys help me understand what you are here for when it comes to my content? If you feel like more than one fits, or none of them do, can you please leave a comment to better explain?
Thank you!

I get quite a few questions from you guys on how I manage my business as an Autistic person and the truth is I don't. It's chaos. BUT. I do have one tip that I swear by that helps me more than anything else and THAT is the topic of today's new video!
I know to-do lists can be the worst thing in the world for PDA but the way I do it works so well for me that I thought it was worth sharing.
Let me know if you find it helpful and be sure (if you feel safe and want to do so) to share any tips you have for others out there who might think and process the way you do!
Cheers!

Welcome back friends! Thank you for your support and patience during my break! 💜
We got a little bit of snow yesterday (it's already gone today) but it was lovely for the few hours we had it!
I'm taking the pressure off myself by taking away any kind of a posting plan/schedule. If I'm going to commit to keeping this channel REAL then I'm gonna keep it REAL and sometimes that means I'm gonna post a lot and other times not so much.
I am excited to turn a page and move forward and if you missed it, I did post a new video last Sunday that explains it all a little better.
Thanks for being here on this journey with me!

Unfortunately my friends, I'm finding myself in a bad mental spot and for my safety I'm going to take a break from posting here. It may just be for a week, but it may be for more. I appreciate your patience and understanding.

Something I heard once, that has always stuck with me, was that we are human BEINGS, not human DOINGS. I have to remind myself of this often. 💜

Wishing you a peaceful and kind start to 2026. Remember that you are on your own unique path. You are not behind. It is not too late. Your community is with you and cheering you on as you go. Progress doesn't need to be massive to matter.
I try so hard to remember this every year when everyone is selling their quick fixes to "get your shit together" and pushing you to work even harder when what you really need is compassion, patience, and rest.
So let's face this next year together! Let's give each other the space to just be. Let's set the pace and make it manageable. I'm with you. We got this!
Happy New Year!
Love,
Courtney

How are you holding up my friends? I know for myself I really struggle this time of the year. There are so many reasons why and one of them includes not always feeling safe to be myself. I often worry that I'm too much for people and I catch myself trying to minimize ME to fit someone else's expectations...
I remind myself that I'm not "too much" for myself and I'm definitely not "too much" for the RIGHT people in my life. I want you to remember that too. I see you. I believe in you. YOU ARE JUST RIGHT AS YOU ARE. There's no shame in wanting to work on oneself or to have goals or aspirations but know that it's a journey and the you that you are NOW is important and valid too.
If you are looking for other likeminded folks on a similar path, I'd love to offer you access to my Discord community here: discord.gg/RAK46byt8b
Sometimes all I need is to be heard and the community you all have helped me create has been an incredible comfort to me this year and for that I cannot thank you enough.
