🌱 This is a sacred space where I am gently alchemizing a motherhood reshaped by autism and special needs into a joyful life I STILL love to live. Be nourished by my stories, strength, & soul-work along this grounded venture of whole life design...
This space is very intentionally kept:
🌱 Cozy, not loud
🌱 Reflective, not reactive
🌱 Slow, not optimized
🌱 Grounded in real life…
You’re free to arrive just as you are and stay as long as it feels good.
You don’t need to “follow” anything here... Read and experience. Bookmark a post. Subscribe if you’d like letters in your inbox. Come back when life feels too loud. My little corner of the Internet is always softly waiting and ready for you.
HELLO & WARM WELCOME, BEAUTIFUL SOUL
I’m Cheniece Patrick...
Enter my digital living room (instead of another stage)… This is my personal soft landing space and easeful online home for my many ideas. My outlet is reserved for reflection, self-return, and personal growth… especially when life feels heavy or uncertain:
You see, I share about: reclaiming an identity and purpose beyond the role of “Mom“, being a caregiver to my two (very, very pretty) autistic and special needs young children, keeping up with a creative practice, a little nervous-system care, and just what it means to remain softly human amidst the mess and beauty of this real life..
🌱 Please explore my mindful essays, grounding rituals, honest reflections, and open letters to other women who are ALSO quietly becoming themselves again… This is me connecting with myself beyond the diagnosis letters and therapy schedules, even in this deepest season of motherhood.

Stop Trying to Love the Life That’s Breaking You (+ Resource Download)
What if you DON’T have to be grateful? What if presence is enough? A simple ritual for mothers who are too tired to pretend.
READER APPRECIATION
I loved your letter!..
“I LOVED your letter, and I am with you in the “Isolated Mom Club”… The masking to get through a conversation at the park, or grocery store, or large gathering is exhausting, and you put to words the mental load so eloquently. I appreciate you!…”
1. Biweekly~ish reflections & self-growth
My writing practice saved me… It’s all documented here in my own voice, unedited by trends, timelines, or algorithms.
You’ll find odds and ends about motherhood and neurodivergent caregiving without romanticizing the burnout, identity loss and self-reclamation, grief and love coexisting in the same breath, and small grounding practices that make your life feel inhabitable again… Some posts are short. Some are slow. ALL of them are honest.
2. A gentle show for starting to live again instead of disappear
Through the honest reflections and intimate stories on my microcast, I create a space for moms navigating autism and special needs to remember who they are beyond the endless appointments, advocacy, and caregiving… Episodes explore self-discovery, personal growth, and what it means to design a life that honors both your motherhood AND your humanity.
