I’m a 47 year old neurodivergent (AuDHD) woman who is rediscovering joy and creativity in midlife, and these are my musings on what I’ve learned so far, as well as current challenges. I am doing this in part to get more comfortable expressing myself verbally and being seen exactly as I am, right now. If this has value to you, great! I welcome you. If you hate it or don’t get it, I wish you wealth, health, and happiness in your journey. Please find other channels you enjoy more… or make your own! 😸🖤 For now, I’m just recording with my iPhone. I may invest in more equipment later, but for now, I just want to get started without anymore excuses for not doing so.
