In this heartfelt episode of Mending Creatively, Jen opens up about the intense, beautiful, and sometimes isolating world of special interests—especially through a neurodivergent lens. If you've ever fallen deeply in love with a topic, a person, a band, or a fictional universe, and felt both joy and shame about how much it meant to you—this one's for you.

Jen explores how special interests can be both a refuge and a launching pad. She offers gentle, practical ways to transform that all-consuming love into creative expression and connection—without guilt or pressure to be anything but yourself.

• What a special interest feels like from the inside

• The double-edged sword of safety vs. isolation

• How to lovingly shift from hiding to creating

• Practical tips and creative exercises to channel your passion into art

• The power of mood boards, rituals, and sharing without pressure

• Neurodivergent experiences of creativity and love

You’re not broken for loving something deeply.
Your passion is not too much.
It’s your superpower—and it deserves to live outside of you, too.
