I have always dreaded having to figure out what to eat for lunch. But one thing that I fix regularly, because I love it so much, is egg salad. I love how versatile this recipe has been for me. I can use it in a sandwich or wrap. But there are a lot of times…
Have you ever had a strong gut feeling, a quiet little voice that said, something is wrong here, or this is the right path, and then talked yourself out of it? If you have, you are not alone. And there is a reason for that. Women’s intuition is real. It is not magic or irrational. It is…
Discovering your neurodivergence in adulthood is a life-altering experience. Whether it’s autism, ADHD, or both (AuDHD), this kind of realization can shake someone to their core, not in a bad way, but in a deep, identity-shifting kind of way.
