The Beauty of Becoming: Butterfly Wisdom for Neurodivergent Creatives | #181

This week, host Caitlin Liz Fisher shares their surprisingly emotional, magical story of a monarch caterpillar who set up camp in their front yard. What started with planting milkweed became a three-week vigil of checking on a chrysalis daily, doubting it was alive, and finally witnessing the miracle of wings unfolding.

Tune in as Caitlin nerds about the lessons of resilience and becoming that this small, winged teacher has to offer, and discover how you might find a reflection of your own journey in hers.

 💬"We don't have to put the pressure of the calendar and the clock on our own personal growth—it takes as long as it takes. You don't have to go fast. It's not a race because people just take as long as they take, like butterflies take as long as they take." - Caitlin Liz Fisher
