When Listening to Your Body Hurts

embodied being, GriefJune 5, 202628Views 0Likes 0Comments

Whether it's doing work with a therapist or trying to recover from burnout, one of the questions that's asked in a myriad of forms is how does your body feel. What is your body telling you? Where does that reside in your body? The question is often asked with the intention that a simple peek…

Meditation, Concentration, and the Neurodivergent Mind

Body Theology, neurodivergentMay 26, 202645Views 0Likes 0Comments

Meditation has been my go to in order to help regulate my nervous system and calm my overactive, neurodivergent mind. I'm not talking about spending hours sitting in lotus pose or repeating a mantra, but rather a tool that I can return to maybe for fifteen minutes at most, to bring me back to center…

CW: This blog discusses fatphobia, body dysphoria, and representation. I've been doing a lot of website updates lately and am thinking about the yoga videos I had over on Chicken Yogi, the predecessor to this site, and moving them over. I've also been thinking about holding meditation and yoga gatherings at least once a month…

Spiritual Spaces Not Meant For Us (Feathermane Soul Wisdom Show)

Podcast (Feathermane Soul Wisdom)February 14, 2026207Views 0Likes 0Comments

There's been a bit of a break in the show recording schedule in part because I've been dealing with things, and part of that is that I've been thinking about systems that aren't meant for neurodivergent people. Spirituality as it is conceived by the bulk of society is one of those things. Our need to…

Spiritual Care is Person-Centered Care

Body Theology, Spiritual CareJanuary 16, 2026158Views 0Likes 0Comments

One of the main foundational points of body theology is that we are whole and complete as we are and that our bodies are divine. It's a way of thinking about the body and of the self that is rooted in radical acceptance and liberation theories. The medical field calls it person-centered care, though they…

Spirituality Is Radical Resistance

anti-capitalism, embodied being, neurodivergent, spiritualityJune 13, 2025417Views 0Likes 0Comments

If we use the definition of spirituality that it is a connection with something larger than ourselves, which could mean our higher self, our soul, our spirit, our community, or the universe itself, then being spiritual in way that seeks to build connection, authenticity, and community is a radical act of resistance. This would be…

Easy Keepers Need Support Too

Horse WisdomMay 17, 2025340Views 0Likes 0Comments

Within the neurodivergent community there is a lot of talk about high support and low support needs with the implication that there is a hierarchy of severity for neurodivergent brains, rather than a broad spectrum. I've made it clear I'm not a fan of the high support-low support dichotomy. It further alienates those who were…

Episode 5: Why Regulating Your Nervous System Comes First

Podcast (Feathermane Soul Wisdom)February 3, 2025448Views 0Likes 0Comments

There are three things that have to go hand-in-hand for us to step into our authentic, embodied selves. The first two are authenticity and embodiment. The last one? Nervous system regulation. If we're stuck in fight or flight mode, then we're not going to be able to unpack the stories that are keeping us from…

Episode 4: What Does It Mean To Be Autispiritual?

Podcast (Feathermane Soul Wisdom)January 27, 2025417Views 0Likes 0Comments

The term autispiritual picks up on the tradition of such words as neuroqueer and autigender where our neurodiversity and/or autism directly impacts our experiences as queer individuals or our experience of our gender. Autispiritual means that our autism impacts our spirituality. To broaden it we can talk about neurospiritual where our neurotype impacts our spirituality.…

A lot of people think labels can be bad things, but there are ways in which you can claim labels and use them to create new stories and reclaim your power. This episode covers a lot of territory from labels, the questions you ask when someone labels you (Is it true? What power do they…

Crafting the Spiritual Intersection of Queer and Neurodivergent

embodied being, neurodivergent, re-story-ation, spirituality, storytellingDecember 20, 2024426Views 0Likes 0Comments

I generally explain my work as helping those who are on the venn diagram of neurodivergent, queer, and chronically ill/disabled reconnect with their stories so they can be their full, embodied self and live authentically. When I think of that venn diagram, I imagine that there are those who would only identify as queer or…
