This blog began when my son Luca was little, as a space to share my journey through gentle parenting, breastfeeding, and safe bedsharing. Those early years shaped me deeply, and much of that content is still here for moms looking for support in those seasons.

Over time, though, our story has unfolded in unexpected ways. We’ve since learned that both my husband, Luca, and I are PDA (Pathological Demand Avoidance, a profile on the autism spectrum). Now, this blog is growing with us — all new content will focus on PDA, sharing real experiences, insights, and resources for families navigating this unique and often misunderstood path.

At its heart, this space is still for moms who feel the constant pull of guilt, exhaustion, and the search for balance. My hope is that you’ll find comfort here — whether in the gentle parenting archives or the new PDA-focused posts.
