Building Differently
Honest reflections on Education, disability, neurodivergence and creating inclusive systems that work in the real world!
A little day in the life… and a very honest chat at the end.
A real, unfiltered day in the life of running Kindling Minds as a neurodivergent, disabled founder.
This post shares the honest middle… the spinning thoughts, the exhaustion, the gratitude, and the people who quietly change your trajectory. It’s about growth that isn’t tidy, support that steadies you, and learning that your voice matters.

And yet, some days, I feel completely adrift.
That quiet sense of uncertainty - the feeling of shouldn’t I have figured this out by now? is something many of us experience in our twenties and thirties.
