Jamie Lin Brown is cultivating an autism community that INTENTIONALLY creates a space of a warm, supportive connection that honors who we are and where we are at. Jamie and I talk about how as an autism community, we may not agree on all things autism, but we all agree that our loved ones on the spectrum are our precious treasures. We are all on a similar playing field with the same heart-centered goal…love and honor ourselves while we love and care for others. Intention is the key word. How do we intend to expend our energy? How do we want to find our rest, joy, or growth?

Jamie talks about how to shift overwhelm to joy and how comparison and jealousy can just be used as DATA to help you identify something you could begin to prioritize in your journey. Data!!!! Just info…not angst!

How cool is that!
