Grieving & Rebuilding: Recreating Authentic Human Spaces for Neurodivergent Folks

In this episode, I reflect on the recent losses of a close friend, a beloved pet, and an estranged parent, and what each experience revealed about grief, boundaries, and belonging. Through these stories, we explore how values-aligned community offers support where traditional family sometimes cannot. This is a tender invitation to consider how we build connection, and why it’s worth it. Connect in Community is a 10-day virtual community experience for neurodivergent adults who want more friendship, less burnout, and a gentle way to practice connection. We run from July 23rd-August 1st.
