This post is part of my monthly Community Engagement Thread series, free to all of my subscribers. If you’re looking to join a supportive community to chat about all things motherhood, creativity, neurodiversity, then you’re in the right place! Come on in…
Hi all!
Welcome to this month’s Community Engagement Thread! I’m so excited to create this space for conversations with all of you.
Last month you told me that these chats work better here in a post instead of on the Chat feature, and I do too. So going forward I’ll post a monthly ‘Community Engagement Thread’ as a post for us all to chat on.
Recap on how it works:
Imagine we’re all sat in a living room, it’s completely informal and relaxed, we have our drinks of choice and we talk and chat and natter about whatever is on our minds. Sort of like a book club meeting without the books (should there be books?!). I suppose if we didn’t all live in different countries and time zones, and we had enough energy and time and space, we could meet on Zoom to do this, but none of that is true, so we bring it to a monthly post to chat instead 😅.
I’d love to hear your thoughts, questions, and experiences around the main topics of this community:
✨ Motherhood
🎨 Creative business
🧠Neurodiversity
What’s going on for you in these areas right now? Is there something you’re navigating or figuring out? Maybe you have a question, a win to share, or just need a sounding board – this space is here for all of that. This community is here for all of that.
I’ll be hanging out in the comments, and I can’t wait to see what conversations spark from this! Feel free to reply to each other’s comments too – the more conversation, the better!
Speak soon,
Since you mentioned books, I'm reading one I really like called Easy Street by Maggie Rowe. She lives with OCD but on the outside looks "fine" and this is contrasted with a woman in her life who is on the verge of unhoused and who has similar mental health challenges but it's visible ... Maggie spends a lot of time thinking about her choice not to have children as she's effectively mothering this other 55 year old woman. Lots of food for thought.
Neurodiversity is always on my mind! 😅 That and the potential pitfalls and challenges of starting my own therapy business one day.
Lots I could say here!! Love the idea of these threads Sophie :)
