Calm Currents and Turbulence: A River's Lesson

from Awesome Autism Tools

I talk about rivers as unpredictable, with calm stretches, turbulent rapids, and unexpected obstacles, and how being present on a river trip helped me be present with myself.My trip began with two and a half days of peaceful, mostly still rowing, then shifted into exciting rapids on days three and four before returning to calmer water.I relate this to life and relationships, using boundaries and “life jacket” self-care tools, and I share how unexpected “rapids” recently showed up in my Awesome Autism Tools business, helping me refine how I explain my work while I take part of the summer off and plan fall studies in nervous system support.You can hear my episode about the "poop box" over on the Finding Joy in the Journey podcast.
