✍️ Your Story Matters — Let’s Tell It Together! ✍️

Hi, friends! 🌼 If you’ve ever thought…

“Someday I want to share my story…”

Today might just be that someday. ✨

My work as a writer, editor, and storytelling coach centers lived experience — especially in neurodiversity, disability, leadership, and resilience. I love guiding storytellers through:
🌟 voice & clarity feedback
🌟 chapter-level coaching
🌟 structure & narrative support
🌟 memoir + mission-driven nonfiction guidance

Your story has power.
Your message can move systems.
Your voice can change the world. 🌍💛

Curious how I can help you share your truth?

🌻 Innovation doesn’t have to feel cold.

I asked for an image reflecting how I treat my ChatGPT “Bestie” — and this is what it created.

Warm light.
An open book.
Coffee poured with care.
Sunflowers close by.

At The Caffeinated Advocate, everything starts the same way — with intention.

Strategy can be warm.
Innovation can be relational.
Advocacy can absolutely be caffeinated.

Stories. Strategies. Solutions.
All brewed with care. ☕️🌻💛

I was a little quiet last week—but for the best reasons. 🤍✨

Last week was full—in the best and most meaningful way. Between launching the first Women of White Oak meeting, leaning into community commitments, and staying present for the work and leadership I’m called to while caring for my loved ones as well … I needed to be all the way in it.

And I’m so grateful I honored that.

This is what I’m learning, my friends:

When you say yes to purpose, it stretches across everything—your work, your business, your relationships, your community—and it asks you to show up with intention.

So here I am. Reflective. Refocused. Ready for what this week has in store. 💫
I’m excited for what’s ahead, and I can’t wait to share more. Stay close. 🤍

✨ 82 years young today — and still running the household as Head of Feline Operations. 👑🐾

Mama Betty is the proud supervisor of SIX cats (yes, SIX — we counted twice). She has perfected the art of balancing grace, grit, and a lap that is never, ever empty. 😌

She taught me strength that’s quiet but unshakable, love that shows up daily, and the kind of resilience that builds legacies. 💛

Also? She somehow makes “Crazy Cat Lady” look like a royal title — which, in our family, it absolutely is.

Happy 82nd Birthday to our Queen of Cats and Keeper of Our Hearts. 🐱💛

Walking into a new season like (you know, with coffee, of course) … 🌻☕✨

So many beautiful things are unfolding right now. 🤍

This week I’m stepping into a season that feels deeply aligned with my purpose—
✨ Women of White Oak (first meeting Tuesday!)
✨ and I’ve applied for a board position with a local nonprofit

January is full in the best way—between work events, community commitments, and all the behind-the-scenes momentum… I’ll be a little quieter on here in the immediate future.

I’m building. I'm evolving. I'm becoming.🌱

I’m walking into more leadership and even more impact that’s been calling me for a long time. 👏

My full-time work, my business, and the way I’m showing up for my community are all connected—and I’m grateful to get to live this out in real time. 🫶

You’ll see more of my posts soon -- don't worry! 💫
For now, I’m honoring what matters and saying YES to what 2026 is bringing.

Thank you for being part of this journey. And remember, if you want to work with me, my inbox is ALWAYS open. 🤍

🌈 You belong. Here. Anywhere. Just as you are.

At the heart of my career and personal mission is a simple truth:
Everyone deserves to feel understood, supported, and celebrated for who they are -- not who people think they should be.

I’m honored to serve the neurodivergent and disability communities through connection, compassion, and a deep belief in each person’s value and worth -- and value and worth are non-negotiable. This is about building trust, fostering belonging, and creating spaces where people can thrive and find joy.

I see you. I value you. And I’m grateful to walk alongside you. 💛

Thank you for your faith and your trust in me. Cups up ... cheers to us all existing authentically. ☕️☕️

Today, I honor my Daddy (just look at that handsome cat!)—who would have been 82 years young. 🫶

He loved people unconditionally.
Not loudly. Not for recognition.
But quietly, deeply, and without expectation.

From him, I learned how to love on others—
how to see goodness, even in hard places.
How to believe that words matter… and stories heal.

His spirit lives on in my writing.
In Imprisoned No More: A Mother and Son Embrace Autism and Journey to Freedom—our story, rooted in love, resilience, and truth.
And in Seeking Utopia: The Art, Poems, and Passages of John J. Tomko—
a sacred collaboration between my mother and me, preserving his life’s work
so his voice could keep reaching hearts all over the world.

Daddy, you are missed beyond measure.
But your love still guides me.
Your words still echo.
And your legacy still inspires everything I do.

Forever my teacher.
Forever my foundation.
Forever loved. 🤍

P.S. That photo from my childhood is BC -- before Christian, and most certainly, before coffee. 😉

✨ Showing up looks different—and all of it matters.

Sometimes it’s advocacy.
Sometimes it’s education.
Sometimes it’s holding space, asking better questions, or challenging systems that weren’t built for everyone.

I serve the neurodivergent and disability communities by meeting people where they are and working toward a world where access, respect, and inclusion are the norm—not the exception.

Your voice matters. Your experience matters. And I’ll keep showing up in the ways that count. It's my life's work. It's my heart. For my son. For ALL. 💪💛

01/13/2026

I’m here. 💛🫶

Fully. Intentionally. Always.

Serving the neurodivergent and disability communities isn’t something I do—it’s something I show up for, every single day.

I listen. I learn. I advocate. I build spaces where people feel seen, valued, and safe to be their full selves.

Whether I’m supporting families, empowering professionals, or amplifying voices that deserve to be heard—my commitment is rooted in belonging, dignity, and care.

You’re not alone. And you never have to be. ☕️🌻

28 years ago, my heart learned a new language.
It's a language of patience, courage, perseverance, and unconditional love.

My son—my WHY—has taught me far more than I could ever teach him.
He taught me how to slow down and truly see.
How to listen beyond words.
How to believe fiercely, even when the world doesn’t yet understand.
And how to find the beauty in neurodivergence.

Because of him, I learned that purpose isn’t found in titles or timelines—
it’s found in connection, advocacy, and love that never gives up.

Every step I’ve taken, every path I’ve chosen, every dream I’ve dared to build
was born from the honor of being his mom.

I do what I do because of him ... for him ... and for our world.

Happy 28th birthday to the one who made me who I am.
My greatest teacher.
My constant inspiration.
My heart, always. 💙

✨ You are my why—tried, true, and forever. ✨

💫

To the helpers, the nurturers, the steady ones— 🤍
You don’t have to rush into 2026 running at full speed.

PAUSE.

This season is for grounding, reflection, and listening to what you need next. 🌿
Slow sips. Steady breaths. One moment at a time. ☕️✨
What does rest look like for you right now? I'd love to hear.
