Just been diagnosed with autism — and it’s brought an identity crisis I wasn’t warned about. Quiet, unsettling, and oddly liberating. I wrote about the first steps of unpicking a life and learning to understand myself differently. Link in Bio

Expectation vs Reality. 🥗🍕
January tells us: new year, new you.
Your nervous system replies: absolutely not.Willpower doesn’t fail because you’re lazy.

It fails when your nervous system is overwhelmed, dysregulated, and still in survival mode.

✨ Diet culture + resolution pressure
✨ Stress + exhaustion
✨ Emotional regulation being mistaken for “self-control”
This is why “just try harder” doesn’t work.

It comes from safety, compassion, and oi Rising

Instagram says Dry January is about willpower, discipline, and becoming a “better” version of yourself.

Reality is:
you’re exhausted,
your nervous system is overloaded,
and you’re coping the best you can.

This isn’t a failure of character.
It’s a sign you need compassion, not control.

🐛 Caterpillar Rising is about meeting yourself where you actually are.

Today is Blue Monday 🌀
Apparently the worst day of the year for depression.
Cute.

So here’s your reminder:
🦋 You’re a butterfly in training.
Everyone trying to drag you down?
Just miserable idiots with no direction, circling their own doom like it’s a hobby.
Ignore the tw🐛ts.
Shine loudly.
Or quietly smug.

Or just have a snug little moment knowing you’re becoming — and one day you’ll rule the world and leave them coughing in the dust.

Whatever stage you’re at on your journey, come visit Caterpillar Rising 🐛✨
Help build a cocoon.
Support yourself.
Support the women in your life.
And jokes aside — check on your people today.
Not all struggles are obvious.
Stay safe.
Be kind.
Keep rising. 💛x
