I really love watching videos in which people discuss their practice and what is influencing it at the time. This is one of my favorite series by you. Thank you for sharing!

[@Lisa_Papez]

I love this series more than I can possibly say... this is so wonderful. Your voice here is so, so valuable and makes me feel so seen and affirmed. You may have intended this specifically for neurodivergent folk -- but I just wanted to say that, neurodivergent or not, this is so valuable. You are literally my cozy watch and I am so grateful for your voice in our community.

OMG idk how I totally missed this comment but you just made me well up with happy tears!!

[@Frakkyfire]

I love that you talk about these topics! It’s not an over share, it’s shedding light on something that a lot of us deal with and helps us feel seen. Because oh lawd, those shame spirals sure are something! I’m definitely going to have to identify which of my decks are going to be good at that, because I often shame myself out of using tarot/oracle during shame cycles (thanks, brain!).

[@RobbiesAdventure]

This was a great video. Ooo I’ve been talking lately about the Reclaim and the I’m Here pairing in the supportive tarot Facebook group. It’s such a beautiful pairing and I get amazing reads from it.

[@DawnMichelleTarot]

I adore these videos. I’ve been in a similar space lately! Thank you so much for sharing with us. ❤

[@TarotUnbridled]

More goodness!! "A pause and a big exhale." Yes. A thousand times, yes. Thank you, Christa. 💛💛💛

[@ShamanBalder]

Your 'overshare' builds connection. I found you 30 minutes ago and now I feel like I can trust you. ❤ Thank you for this, it was beautiful.

[@Christa.Chronicles]

That is so kind, thank you!!

Thank you for speaking on this. I was diagnosed ADHD at 30 and Autistic with ADHD also known as AuDHD at 35. I have been unmasking since 30. It was a key that unlocked my world but also helped me unlock my children's worlds. I now understand why they act the way they do and where they got it. My son was the first diagnosed with ADHD and Autism. His doctor told me to go get tested. I now understand why I act the way I do and how to prevent the rage and meltdowns and am able to teach my children. I have sense restructured our routine to take into account we are all at least ADHD in this house, as I am a single mom of 3. The growth in emotional intelligence in my children since January has been tremendous. All because I was given the key to unlock my life and in return I could teach them the tricks I learned. I have since embraced the fact that I am different and I do not hide it. I am very much in touch with my inner child and will never grow up. lol I am an adult when I need to be but I also enjoy having fun. The kids love it. The downside to being diagnosed for me was the fact I learned just how much my mother didn't fight for me and how she instead forced me to mask even more. I just could not understand how I could recognize my son was different at 9 months, almost 10 years before I was diagnosed ADHD, and yet she never recognized it in me. Or did she. I no longer have contact with my Mom and sisters. Therapy showed me what they truly were. Now I surround myself with people that are neurodivergent or at least understand it. I am very attached to certain decks and it was in my journey to heal and unmask that I was drawn to tarot and several other aspects of "Witchy" life.

[@Christa.Chronicles]

The life you're creating for you and your kids sounds so beautiful!! I understand what you mean with those thoughts of "how did no one notice??" i deal with those a lot too. I do wonder if a factor is an old idea of people not wanting their children to be different. That's the bit of sense I've made of it so far anyway, but regardless that's for sure a tough feeling to work through!

[@jeannefox9535]

Just love you so much. You being vulnerable helps so many others. As a mum with a son going though the diagnosis process for ADHD and Autism in his late teens, hearing about the shame cycle and how you get through your meltdowns/burnout is so helpful. It gives me a window into what is potentially affecting him and helps me to better support him. You might not see it but your oversharing is a gift. Thank you for being authentically you.

[@NicoleACottageWitch]

I’m autistic and for a long time I thought I was just crap at life. Great video.

[@lovejoyy]

Oh girl, you are my soul sister. Thank you for this. It meant a lot to me.

[@SaplingTarot]

I love these videos so much! Thank you for sharing your thoughts and experiences, I think we have a lot in common so it’s lovely to know we’re navigating these waters together. Maybe we need to make a little ND Tarot club where we can chat about this stuff, but also I guess that’s what this corner of tarot tube is! Edit: if you don’t like the terminology of “meltdowns”, it sounds like the word “shutdown” might fit your experience too!

[@Christa.Chronicles]

A group!!! That would be SO cool!!! Yes, you're so right about the term shutdown!

[@GigiStarling]

Thanks for sharing! I can relate so much. Tarot and Oracle teach me that it's ok to be different. I was diagnosed with autism this march at age 43.

[@carmenb9020]

Hi, You have a lot of courage cause it takes a lot of courage to be so vulnerable. Out there. We admire you for it and respect you also. I'm not glad you're going through this but I'm glad you are sharing cause it describes what I'm going through at times and don't share with everyone except those real close to me. I might say yes maybe ' overshare' because it's letting everyone know something personal. But I also get that you need to be understood about what you're going through. Seriously. I'm truly sorry you're going through this, REALLY. ❤ You will make it through. But it's ups & downs. Again, thank you for talking about it. I truly like you. I hope I never say nothing to offend or hurt your feelings. Not my intention at all. Take care. Sending healing vibes and good karma. ❤❤❤

[@Christa.Chronicles]

Thank you so much, you're so kind!!

[@d.m.3133]

I love the green witch oracle too. I want to get Lisa’s deck. I can hear those inspirational messages in her voice. 😄

[@sincerelyshannadee]

So much, all of this, yes! And that's all I'll say on that 😅✨

[@StefkoMinkov]

I also struggle with ADHD and Tarot helps me a lot to ground myself, calm my mind, structure my daily life. And understand myself better in general.

[@ayearandaday]

Yessss 💯🙌 Thank you so much for sharing this Christa - it means so much to be able to relate 🥹❤ It is still shocking to me to realize how much inner damage was caused by me always feeling "different" but not knowing I had ADHD for the first 39 years of my life..... 🫠 The amount of masking and negative self-talk I now have to unpack is ridiculous 🥴 But at least I am getting a chance to truly get the know myself and work on my unmasking - which is difficult and scary and absolutely amazingly freeing at the same time 🥰 Hearing you share your personal journey brings recognition, validation and comfort - so thank you for that ❤
