Rewriting Your Own Fairy Tale: What Jung, Bettelheim, and Neurodivergence Teach Us About Ourselves
Rewriting Your Own Fairy Tale – How Stories Shape Our Psychology
Ever felt like you were the outsider in your own story—the odd one out, the one who didn’t fit the mold? Fairy tales have a way of mirroring our inner struggles, and for neurodivergent, creative minds, they often feel strangely personal.
Psychologists like Jung and Bettelheim believed that fairy tales aren’t just stories; they’re psychological maps, filled with symbols of transformation, survival, and self-discovery. What if we could use these stories not just to escape, but to rewrite our own narratives?
🔹 Try This: If your life were a fairy tale, which archetype would you be? The lost wanderer? The hidden genius? The trickster? What if you’re actually the hero who just hasn’t reached the final chapter yet?
Let’s explore how fairy tales can help us reshape the way we see ourselves, our struggles, and our potential for transformation. ✨📖

Fifty & Unfiltered: Embracing My Neurodivergent Journey
Fifty & Unfiltered – Embracing My Neurodivergent Journey
Turning fifty as a neurodivergent woman feels like finally taking a deep breath after decades of holding it in. For years, I masked, molded, and tried to fit into a world that wasn’t built for my brain. But now? I’m done shrinking myself.
At fifty, I’ve learned that my intensity, my deep emotions, my scattered-yet-brilliant way of thinking—these aren’t flaws. They are part of who I am, and I refuse to apologize for them anymore.
🔹 What I wish I knew sooner: You are not “too much.” You are not broken. You are not here to meet the expectations of people who don’t understand you.
Here’s to living unfiltered, embracing every neurodivergent quirk, and taking up space unapologetically.

How Archetypes Inspire New Digital Art
How Archetypes Inspire New Digital Art
Ever noticed how certain images, symbols, or themes in art just feel familiar—as if they’ve always existed? That’s the power of archetypes at work. Rooted in Jungian psychology, archetypes are universal symbols stored deep in our collective unconscious. They shape our stories, dreams, and, of course, our art.
In today’s digital landscape, artists are blending age-old archetypal themes with cutting-edge tools to create visually stunning and emotionally compelling works. From the Hero’s journey in surreal photography to the Shadow self emerging in cyberpunk aesthetics, digital art is breathing new life into these ancient patterns.
🔹 Why It Matters: Archetypes resonate deeply because they speak to our shared human experience.
🔹 How Artists Use Them: By weaving archetypal themes into digital art, creators unlock greater emotional depth, narrative power, and cultural connection in their work.
