Stories of resilience, strategies for thriving…
A safe haven for neurodivergent families and those who love them
☑️ Why subscribe?
Glimmer Nest is more than just a newsletter—it's a growing community of understanding, a place for those who've felt unheard, unseen, or misunderstood. As an autism parent with CPTSD and other neurodivergencies, I've created this space to ensure no one feels alone in their journey.
Here, we explore the nuances of communication, mental health, and personal growth, with a focus on:
Navigating life with neurodiversity - whether you are neurodivergent yourself or care for someone who is!
Healing from trauma - hello, CPTSD …
Finding your voice when words fail
Balancing parenthood with personal challenges
Each issue blends personal stories, professional insights, and practical strategies, all aimed at helping you feel less alone and more empowered. I may talk about homeschooling, career coaching, therapy, dyslexia, autism, or a pretty sunset. It will vary widely, but I'm also a big proponent of social listening so I will write about what I believe will be most helpful. Always feel free to reach out!
What You'll Find Here
⭐Free Weekly Content: All the reflective stories, community connection, and shared experiences that brought us together. These will always remain freely accessible because I believe in the power of feeling less alone.
🌟*Monthly Practical Resources ($5/month or $40/year & save $20/year): Building on our shared experiences, I'm creating detailed guides and actionable resources specifically for our community:
Guides for real challenges (autism family life, WFH with high needs kids, & more)
Templates, checklists, and implementation tools
Professional strategies adapted for our unique circumstances
Access to a growing resource library (June 2025 kicks off the first one!)
Beta test and provide input for future community features
✨*Glimmer Champions ($50/year): Everything above, plus my heartfelt gratitude and the option for a personal coffee chat—because supporting the growth of resources for our community deserves special recognition.
