Howdy! My name is Courtney and I'm a late-diagnosed Autistic recovering from extreme burnout. I love dinosaurs, mermaids, making art, and playing video games! I prefer they/them pronouns. Nice to meet you! πŸ’œ

Hey my friends! I will be taking a little break until July when I will start posting regularly again on Fridays. I actually have all of July now scheduled and we are covering some BIG topics for me and I am stoked to get the conversations going!

My dog is going in for surgery next week which is why I haven't been around as much. I had to take on a bunch more orders through my shop to attempt to cover everything and I'm still really short. I'm doing my best and I know things will work out but I just wanted to make sure I let you guys know since you are all also important to me and I do want to keep the channel going.

I hope you are all doing well and if, like me, you are hanging on by a thread, I am sending you the strength to get through it.

The next design in my infinity dinosaur series is now up in my Ko-fi shop (free or by donation). All donations received through my Ko-fi right now are going directly to the cost of Gru's surgery next week. Thank you friends! πŸ’œ

New video going up on Friday! NEW TIME - 10AM PST!
This is a video is honestly just me sitting down with you and talking. About burnout. About Autism. About chronic pain, PMDD, IBS, running a business, trying to survive in a world not built for me and trying to figure out how to keep moving forward when everything feels like it's just TOO MUCH.

I woke up to see that there are now 8000 of you and that absolutely blows my mind!

Thank you all so very much for being on this journey with me!

Hey friends! Can you guys help me understand what you are here for when it comes to my content? If you feel like more than one fits, or none of them do, can you please leave a comment to better explain?

Thank you!

I get quite a few questions from you guys on how I manage my business as an Autistic person and the truth is I don't. It's chaos. BUT. I do have one tip that I swear by that helps me more than anything else and THAT is the topic of today's new video!

I know to-do lists can be the worst thing in the world for PDA but the way I do it works so well for me that I thought it was worth sharing.

Let me know if you find it helpful and be sure (if you feel safe and want to do so) to share any tips you have for others out there who might think and process the way you do!

Cheers!

Welcome back friends! Thank you for your support and patience during my break! πŸ’œ

We got a little bit of snow yesterday (it's already gone today) but it was lovely for the few hours we had it!

I'm taking the pressure off myself by taking away any kind of a posting plan/schedule. If I'm going to commit to keeping this channel REAL then I'm gonna keep it REAL and sometimes that means I'm gonna post a lot and other times not so much.

I am excited to turn a page and move forward and if you missed it, I did post a new video last Sunday that explains it all a little better.

Thanks for being here on this journey with me!

Unfortunately my friends, I'm finding myself in a bad mental spot and for my safety I'm going to take a break from posting here. It may just be for a week, but it may be for more. I appreciate your patience and understanding.

Something I heard once, that has always stuck with me, was that we are human BEINGS, not human DOINGS. I have to remind myself of this often. πŸ’œ
