In this episode of The Neurodivergent Creative Podcast, Caitlin Liz Fisher admits they’re already living in October, even though the calendar hasn’t caught up yet. Their brain has skipped ahead to spooky season, soup season, and—let’s be real—seasonal depression season (ugh). Which means now is the time to talk about planning ahead!
But not the hustle-y, “crush your goals before January” kind of planning. This is the gentler version: stocking up on comfort, finding ways to move through family gatherings without losing your mind, and yes—buying enough Marie Callender’s apple pies to survive the dark months without paying retail.
💬 “So we know going in that this is gonna be a season of sort of slowing down, maybe some mental health sliding into that seasonal depression area. So while there still is a little bit of sunlight out there, now is the time to start planning. What are you going to do in the fall and winter? How can you preserve your mental health? How can you take care of yourself?” - Caitlin Liz Fisher
