Welcome to Neurodivergent Motherhood

(Formerly The Downshift)

When I first started this journey, I titled it The Downshift, because I was navigating and reflecting about the transition to part-time work to care for and homeschool my children.

Over time, it became clear that my reflections were never oriented around that single transition. Life is so much more than simply slowing the pace of work—it’s about living with intention, embracing the complexities of faith, parenting, culture, and neurodivergence—and finding joy in the midst of it all.

This has grown into a place where I reflect on the joys and challenges of every area of our life—especially on my experience of faith and motherhood, and how that intersects with the ways we balance (what is balance?) work, homeschooling, and caregiving, on culture and language, and so much more. It’s a space to explore and share my experiences as an ADHD and autistic mom raising neurodivergent kids in a world that doesn’t always feel designed for us.

Thank you for joining me in this small corner of the internet.
