Mental Health
Hello! I’m Elizabeth (she/they). I find joy in sharing my experiences with mental health and having autism.
Parenthood
I’m a stay-at-home twin parent. I’m continuously growing and learning for my children. Writing helps me reflect on my experiences, feel less isolated as a parent, and share what I’ve learned along the way.
