If you’ve ever felt like your brain just won’t follow a “normal” routine, or that structure either smothers you or slips through your fingers you’re not alone. As a late-discovered neurodivergent woman navigating ADHD, autism, and perimenopause, I’m learning that the kind of structure we need isn’t one-size-fits-all.

We need rhythm, not rigidity. Permission, not pressure.

That’s why I created this gentle, practical guide:

🧠 “What Kind of Structure Do I Actually Need?” a reflective resource to help you build support systems that actually work for your beautifully wired brain:

Inside, you’ll find:

  • Different structure styles that suit ND thinking

  • Journal prompts to discover what your system needs

  • Space to create a rhythm that supports your energy and wellbeing — not fights it

If you’re in a season of burnout, life change, or rediscovery — this guide is for you.

💛 This resource is available to paid subscribers as part of a growing toolkit of reflections, templates, and nervous-system-friendly planning support.
