Let me introduce myself
Well, hello Lemon8 family 👋🏻
My name is Stephanie! I’m a thirty two year old mom of two but that’s not all I’m about. I like to cook and I do love to clean and organize. I’m still learning how to use this app and place my footing. Who else is here from that clock app? Feel free to give me a follow and also maybe comment down below what content you enjoy seeing.
Fun fact about me ; I am a solidarity witch and a kitchen witch I’d also consider myself a green witch as well. I love crystals and their meanings and I also like to dabble in astrology from time to time.
I’m married 💍
I’m a gardener so.. get over it 💨🍃
I am a Virgo ♍️ , Taurus ♉️ , Aries ♈️
So earth, earth, fire.. I’m super passionate about everything I do as you can tell.
music is my absolute favorite and that’s a way into my soul 🎧
My kiddos- I have a five and eleven year old they are definitely two completely different beings for sure. They do share one thing ; autism. But one of my kids is non-verbal autistic with cerebral palsy and a new diagnosis of epilepsy so any parents out there dealing with a similar situation and want to give me a follow that would be amazing. I’m not big on sharing my children online but I don’t mind talking about them and sharing my experiences to maybe help another parent or maybe gain some insight myself. I’m always willing to learn. The kiddo I’m talking about above also had a really rough start at life and has just been kicking butt ever since. I’m not looking to go viral and be the next internet sensation. But I am looking to build a community of people who can talk about there kids and their needs without feeling shamed for it. I’ll hold a space for you to grieve the childhood they’ll never get. I’ll let you vent about how family with neurotypical kids just really can never understand what it takes to live everyday. I’ll hold a space for parents that are over worked, overstimulated and over touched to just vent.. even cry if necessary. You’ll never hear me call you a bad parent. I’m creating something safe.
Truly safe ✨🧩

As a mother navigating the challenges of raising children with diverse needs, building a supportive community is essential. In this digital age, social platforms like Lemon8 provide a unique opportunity for parents to share experiences, offer insights, and learn from one another. Stephanie's journey reflects the strength of parenting non-verbal autistic children, particularly in fostering understanding among families facing similar circumstances. Sharing your experiences online does not only help you, but it also creates a network of support for others who feel isolated. This communal space is vital for expressing feelings of frustration or despair without the fear of judgment. Being a part of such communities can significantly impact your parenting journey, making it feel less lonely. Engaging with posts that address neurodiversity allows parents to broaden their perspectives on what it means to be part of a family dealing with unique challenges. It's about finding common ground, exchanging tips on daily care, and even discussing coping mechanisms for those overwhelming days. Moreover, conversations around mental health in parenting help in destigmatizing the feelings of inadequacy that can arise. Providing a safe environment where parents can voice their concerns and share victories goes a long way in reinforcing the notion that no one is alone in their struggles. Ultimately, the goal is to cultivate a vibrant community: one where diversity in parenting is celebrated through the lens of experiences, emotions, and growth. Connect with others who understand and embrace the journey, be it through parenting tips or shared vulnerabilities that highlight the richness of the human experience.
