In this episode of The Neurodivergent Creative, Caitlin sits down without a set agenda and gently spirals through morning pages, phone addiction, creative habits, spirituality, and the quiet grief of living in a world shaped by capitalism and rising fascism. What begins as a reflection on journaling becomes a compassionate exploration of why we need personal rituals, spiritual hope, and tiny acts of care—not to optimize ourselves, but to survive and stay human.

💬“Do something that is just for you. Do something that makes you feel hope for a future that you cannot logically know is there, but spiritually you will allow yourself to believe in it—so that there’s a reason to get up in the morning.” - Caitlin Liz Fisher

If you’re tired, cynical, overstimulated, or struggling to imagine a future that feels safe or possible, this episode offers permission to slow down and choose gentleness anyway.💜

What We Explore in This Episode:

• Morning pages as a practice of mental and emotional clearing, not productivity
• Doomscrolling, phone dependency, and protecting your nervous system from constant bad news
• Why capitalism, shame, and moral perfectionism make rest and creativity feel “undeserved”
• Spirituality, creativity, and imagination as survival tools
