We had such a good time planning our workshops this morning 💛

There's something powerful about sitting down with others, mapping out where you want to go, and realising you're not doing it alone.

Only 4 spots left for this round — and here's the bonus: everyone who attends gets first rights to book into our Term 4 workshops before they open to the public.

Know someone who could use a bit more connection and clarity in their life right now? Send them this - it might be exactly what they need.

📩 Message me for details.

At our recent Matariki dinner, three families shared one roof, embracing our diverse needs and preferences. The solution? Build-your-own burgers. The house buzzed with the joyful noise of genuine connection, despite not being picture-perfect.

In the past, this might have caused stress, but a real village doesn’t judge. They pitch in or just enjoy the chaos. We even tackled our $1,000 electricity bill together!

If your village makes you mask, it’s time to move along. Protect your peace and find a "no-masking" community. Coaching can help you find balance, even when you can’t change your surroundings.

Drop a ❤️ if you’ve found your village! 🏡❤️

Coaching with Debs 2026

Took my mum out for coffee last week and had to snap a photo of her proudly rocking her new reading glasses! She’s married to my dad, a neurodiverse man (diagnosed with ADHD at 80!) and raised a neurodivergent kid. It’s an impressive, beautiful achievement, and she deserves all the credit.

I recently met with a mother who was looking for a coach for her family but after meeting and chatting with me she took the appointments for herself. She needed support in the neurodiverse household of her husband and children.

How often do the neuro-typical humans in the household get the support and strategies? I get the feeling from my conversations with other families maybe not enough!

My mum never got a manual for this. If you're navigating a neurodiverse family and feeling like the support out there isn't quite built for you, I'd love to help change that. DM me or book a chat at www.affirmingminds.nz

My dog Murray is a reminder that calm is possible!

I've seen the weight of overwhelm lift off the shoulders of neurodiverse women and women parenting neurodiverse children and youth through coaching.

Comment/DM 'EMPOWERED' and I'll share the game-changing question that helps my clients rise above burnout and start looking forward to living life with ease again! 💫
