I am sending you a loving hug. Have a wonderful day! With Love, Jeanne 💗  Why Was Nobody Helping? ⚠️ Warning: I am angry right now, so this article is different from my other articles. This morning, I went to the city. On my way to the supermarket, I saw from afar a man lying on the ground in the street. His face was turned down, partly covered by his clothes. What shocked me the most was that many people walked by, and nobody stopped to check on him. Seriously — what if he had a heart attack, a diabetic shock, or a stroke? I went to check on him to see if he was alright. To my relief, he was moving and didn’t appear injured. I took my phone and immediately called the police to make sure he would receive help, as the man seemed to be homeless, sleeping in the streets. They say that Switzerland is a rich country — but situations like this are becoming more and more common. Do you want to know how many children are living in severe poverty in Switzerland? Visit the websites of the organizations Caritas and Pro Juventute. You will be shocked. And if you want to see how more and more seniors are struggling with poverty in Switzerland, read the reports from Pro Senectute, an organization that helps older people. The numbers you’ll find there will sadly surprise you. Not to mention the growing number of single-parent families living in serious poverty in our country. In the last few years, the cost of renting an apartment has been rising beyond common sense. Every year, health insurance premiums become more expensive, and more people struggle to afford them. Because health insurance is mandatory here, many end up in debt. If social services have to cover your health insurance, the moment you find a new job, you must repay that money to the state. This creates an endless cycle of financial struggle for many people in our country. If you really want to understand what it’s like to live with chronic health issues and a small budget in one of the most expensive countries in the world, ask me for a video call — I will show you the reality in detail. Spoiler: I cannot afford a car, I cut my own hair, and I haven’t been able to pay for a vacation abroad in the past nine years. You can read more about this in my other article, where I explain how the job market in our country affects people living with health issues. And this homeless man lying in the street this morning — he is yet another sad example of how many things are going in the wrong direction… Right now, I still have this question: WHY was nobody helping him? What if he had a heart attack, a stroke, or a diabetic shock? What if this man was your father, your brother, your son? Every person walking by had a phone and could have called the emergency number to make sure he received help. But nobody stopped. What I question the most is this: in so many cities around the world that I have traveled to, they all seem to have money for big sports stadiums, but they do not seem to have money to build more homeless shelters. The question is about the fair distribution of funds and why more money is available for sports stadiums, which are often empty 50% of the time, while there is not enough money to build homeless shelters. Sorry, I’m just a little sad right now, because this should not happen in our country. In fact, this should not happen in any country at all.

I will spare you the details about the content of that game, it was too violent for children. The parents shared with me how there was peer pressure at school among students to play this game, and they expressed feeling overwhelmed by the situation. Yes, internet security was often a topic of discussion when I worked in a school myself. Sadly, there were instances where one student posted a negative comment about another student, and I made sure that this was removed immediately and addressed it with their parents. This was a few years ago, and over time, internet security for children has become significantly more challenging. The list of problems surrounding the question of children and the internet is getting longer and longer. But let us talk about possible solutions - would you like that? I know some people find problems in solutions, but I tend to be more practical: I love to find real solutions for problems. 😉 Before we start, dear readers, let me share with you one small solution to help keep your child away from those big social media platforms for as long as possible. This is a real compromise you can use to gain some extra time: allow your child to create a members-only website on their own. These are websites where YOU decide who is a member and who receives a login code. For example, with Weebly (.com), you can create fun members-only websites. Together with your child, you can create photo albums, write blog posts, and share texts that only your family members and friends can see. This will keep your child busy, and at the same time, they will feel a sense of fulfillment in creating those pages one by one and sharing them safely with family and friends. Now, more importantly, let us create a first list of some fun activities for your children that will keep them away from their smartphones, computers, and TV screens for at least one afternoon. In case your children are not interested in learning musical instruments or participating in local sports groups, this list will keep them busy for a while. Let me ask you: Do you remember what you loved to do as a child? Nr. 1: Story Time 💗 The local library: You will be surprised by how many great books and even fun activities your local library offers for your children. Become a member and visit every two weeks with your child. While the children are busy discovering many new books, you can sit and relax in a chair, reading an inspiring book as well. This is perfect for a rainy Sunday too. Nr. 2: The Little Anthropologists 💗 Museums: Ask your local tourist center about the upcoming activities they recommend for families with children, and be sure to sign up for their newsletters as well. Many museums now offer special activities for families, and often, some of them are available for a small budget. Nr. 3: Animals on the Farm 💗 Local farmers' markets are definitely worth visiting for children, but there is even more to discover. Some farmers now offer afternoons filled with activities for children, including creative ateliers where they can craft fun items together. Additionally, some farms have a special corner where children can safely see the animals. Nr. 4: The Chocolate Cake Master Bakers 💗 Is it raining again? Turn your kitchen into a baking wonderland and let your children bake a chocolate cake. Encourage them to create a series of cookies in the shape of their favorite animals. You can even hire a student for three hours to oversee this fun activity with the children, allowing you to relax in the living room with your own favorite hobby. Additionally, look for special baking books with easy recipes for children. They can also create their own recipe books through scrapbooking, featuring their favorite recipes for the whole family. Nr. 5: The Artists Create a Storybook 💗 Little artists' atelier: They say that children are losing their creative powers when they watch too much TV. So, for another afternoon, turn your living room into an art atelier. Find some large sheets of paper and a selection of different colors; there are special child-friendly acrylic paints available in stores for this purpose. Let your children create their own storybooks by writing a fun script together and drawing one image for every important scene in the script. Of course, the storybook can be a special present for a family member's next birthday! Nr. 6: The Local Animal Shelter 💗 Many animal shelters are truly grateful for volunteers to walk their dogs or play with the cats. You will see your children smile and have fun interacting with these animals, and this can also become a regular activity if they enjoy it. Nr. 7: Writing a Journal 💗 Scrapbooking is creative and, therefore, calming for children. Writing a journal can be a comforting and even healing experience for them, as it helps them process their many emotions and feelings. Plus, these young scrapbookers can create the most beautiful journals and books filled with precious memories. They can proudly share these books whenever grandparents, uncles, and aunts come for a visit. I hope that some of these activities serve as inspiration and help your young children spend some time away from the many screens. Feel free to contact me if you wish to discuss this further or share more ideas. By sharing this article with your friends, you help me too.

But the true teachers rarely used big advertising or large marketing, because certain things are guided by Divine Guidance, beyond what the human mind tries to control. Long before the time of the internet, these precious teachers shared the path of true meditation, of living in Divine Oneness and of spiritual awakening. One great teacher in the West was Joel S. Goldsmith (The Infinite Way), and many others have tried to teach what he explains in his books. Some not only copied the content but even copied the titles of his books, yet a copy can never carry the real original consciousness and therefore will never have the same effect as when the teaching is transmitted and received through the original teacher. Joel S. Goldsmith was a great example of a truly humble teacher, and his teachings continue to be a powerful guiding light for students even today. Also in the West, a unique teacher was Dr. David R. Hawkins, with his teachings about the different levels of consciousness. The same honor and respect belong to the teachings of the well-known Ramana Maharshi, Paramahansa Yogananda, and the many wonderful teachers from the East. We can be grateful to observe that these higher levels of consciousness are being discovered by more and more people around the world, thanks to all the teachers who prepared the foundation for us to move beyond the illusions of human materialism. Sadly, some tried to make money with these teachings by adding certain words for sensational marketing, pretending that there were “special secrets.” They claimed that there was super mysterious information available only if certain conditions were fulfilled, and one of these conditions was of course about money. Those false prophets may have made some money in the short term, but in the long run the laws of karma will send them the bill to pay for their dishonest abuse of students who were sincerely looking for help. Because if you remove all the layers of misleading marketing used around these teachings, in truth there are no special mysterious secrets. Just as the sun in the sky shines on every soul on this planet, in the same way the healing light, consciousness, and love are available to every soul who asks with an honest and pure heart. What is missing is in reality very simple. Yet sadly, the ego mind rarely believes that something simple can be true or worth the effort. The human mind often seeks complicated concepts and a ten-step program decorated with many beautiful but unnecessary materials, and this is where seekers become distracted from the true path. No matter whether you study spiritual teachings from the East or the West, the work on this path always remains the same, just do it. And the simple practice is to sit in stillness in meditation, in communion with Divine Source, opening the heart to Divine Consciousness and to the higher realms of light, in a state of deep receptivity and listening within. Just do it. Here is an example of a simple but very effective practice: Twice every day, take a break, pause, sit in a quiet place, and set your intention to connect with the Divine and with your Soul. In those moments, tell your thinking mind to go out for a walk, as that dear friend often fears letting go of control. Do nothing else, just sit, breathe, observe your breath, and focus only on the here and now. Then gently allow yourself to become more and more aware of that invisible part of you, your true Soul, by focusing on your heart. Allow your state of mind to shift from the human self to the spiritual Self, gradually and naturally. This is the part of you that, when you are in Oneness with it, allows you to live from the heart, feeling peaceful and open to the Divine around you. Now remain sitting in this awareness for the next thirty to fifty minutes. This is when the real healing happens, and when the mind receives true and lasting peace. Yes, this kind of practice cannot be approached with the human intellect, the whole work is most successful when done from the heart alone. In truth, it is very simple. Yet most of the time this is where students walk away, because this work asks for a true investment of personal effort and time. It requires that we turn off the phones, the television, and the computers, and focus on Divine Source in stillness and silence. In this sacred space of silence and stillness, we gently enter a new state of being, one of peace and harmony, free from the desires of the human ego, connecting more and more with our Soul. The way we feel shifts with every minute we remain quiet and present, and our awareness of the Higher Self deepens naturally. Some call this experience “the Presence,” and of course different teachers have given it many beautiful names. Yet in reality there is no great secret hidden behind it, despite what some may claim in order to sell seminars or exclusive programs. It may sound simple, but it is only the thinking mind that insists the spiritual path must be difficult or mysteriously complicated. In truth, it is about practicing these small and gentle steps, again and again, which gradually open the doors to the reconnection with our Divine Self. On this sacred path, the ego mind is gently laid aside, along with all the labels and roles that we believe define us. No titles are needed, no pressure to become someone different, no demand to be more efficient or to perform better. The search for outer success or temporary happiness only brings substitutes for what the Soul is truly longing for. Release all those expectations created by the human mind, and what remains is the quiet, luminous truth of who you really are. Another key that is often misunderstood is that there is no one-size-fits-all approach in spiritual teachings. Every Soul has its own level of consciousness, depending on what the Soul has learned before this incarnation. Physical age is not a measure here. This is why a technique or teaching may be deeply helpful for one Soul, while another Soul may need a different path and practice with other tools. These choices are guided by the Soul itself, the Higher Self of the individual. Spiritual revelations received during times of meditation belong to the path and evolution of the Soul who receives them. Another Soul may receive different insights for their own unique journey. This does not mean that one is right and the other is wrong, it simply reflects the infinite variety of the Divine guidance offered to each Soul. The only thing truly missing is the willingness of the Soul in human form to make the personal effort to sit in stillness, to connect with Divine Source, and to ask directly for Divine Oneness. Living from the heart means living as your true Self, your Divine Soul, that eternal part of you. By allowing the thinking mind (ego) to rest in the backseat and letting the heart take its place in the driver’s seat, life begins to transform in the most beautiful and meaningful ways. Trust your own Divine Guidance, for your Soul will always bring you the right information, the right people, and the right books that are meant to guide your next steps on this beautiful spiritual path. If you ever have questions about the steps on this path, or if you would like to study any of these books together, you are always welcome to write to me, and we can meet in a video call to talk. with Love and Light, Jeanne 🌸 www.jeannejess.com 💗 #SpiritualAwakening #DivineGuidance #HigherConsciousness #MeditationPractice #SoulJourney #LivingFromTheHeart #Oneness  The Hidden Dangers of Constant Information Overload: The news worldwide reports that more and more people are living with mental health challenges. One reason for this is certainly the constant information overload we are exposed to 24/7. Here is what truly helped me – and what can also support your health: at a certain point, I decided that I would only pay money for good news. Reading good news makes you feel good, and when you feel good, the cells of your body become happy. Therefore, you want to receive more good news only. Maybe it is because of the medical condition I was born with, but I find having too many apps on my smartphone more than just overwhelming. But here is my question: how many apps do we really, truly need – and why? Why would I pay any app to send me bad news about what is happening in a country on the other side of the planet? It only makes me feel sad and worried. That kind of news leaves us feeling hopeless and anxious, which is, of course, never good for our health. Plus, do we really need to know what some VIPs are doing in their private lives? All that unnecessary gossip is toxic and completely useless. It doesn’t improve our mood, nor does it make our own lives any better. Since our goal here is to seriously detox our lives, our smartphones, and the news we consume, it truly helps to radically delete all those apps. This way, we can make sure we no longer receive any of that negative news. Quickly scanning the local headlines is more than enough. Anything beyond that is simply unnecessary and does not serve you in any way – unless you work in a field where geopolitics are part of your daily business. So, ok — now that our beloved smartphone is cleaned, peaceful, calmer and free from bad-news apps, another helpful step could be to delete contacts who send you bad news, gossip, and other toxic stories. I especially love that block-contact button for those situations. Feeling more relieved, right? While I understand you might find these steps somewhat radical, let me remind you that your peace of mind is the main source of your health — both mental and physical. Your peace of mind should be your top priority and is worthy of protection. Only when you feel real peace of mind do you have the necessary energy to do what you truly want to do in life. Another important key is to avoid endlessly scrolling through certain platforms and clicking on hype-sounding headlines. Before you click, ask yourself if what you are about to read is truly going to serve you in any way—if not, you are simply giving away your precious time and energy to useless, toxic news. Let me share another helpful step, beginning with this question: do you really need to be available all the time? And do you really need to answer every call the very second your phone rings? (Unless you have young children or you are a medical doctor, of course.) For a long time, I didn’t realize how much being available all the time for everybody was draining my energy—until a friend encouraged me to turn off my phone more often. I also finally activated voicemail, which allows people to leave their messages whenever I don’t answer their calls. Being available for everybody all the time can really drain our peace of mind. Do I need to read every e-mail the moment it arrives? Absolutely not. Do I need to answer every single chat message right away? Nope—I don’t have to. Of course, some friends in my circle grumbled a little about my new habits—but honestly, I felt a wave of relief discovering this newfound freedom. I wasn’t serving everyone else’s demands anymore; I was protecting my own peace of mind, and you will agree with me, that is priceless. While these steps may seem small, they do so much more than just protect your thoughts and feelings from toxic news. They give you back your most precious gift: your time. Time to rest, time to breathe, time to focus on your goals, and time to recharge—time to truly nurture yourself and your well-being. Once I discovered these new steps and daily life gently began to feel calmer and more peaceful, I found myself wanting to receive more good news. Somehow, my smartphone felt a little empty, and I wondered if there were apps that focused on positive news—and yes, there are actually some wonderful apps that deliver only good-news messages, filling your heart and mind with uplifting and positive feelings. If you’d like a little extra support in setting healthy boundaries or discovering more ways to protect your peace of mind, feel free to reach out to me. I’d be delighted to help you create a calmer, happier, and more positive daily life. Thank you for being here, and may your day be filled with warmth, truth, and love.

Yes, I have experienced bullying and mobbing more than enough, and to avoid this pain for others, I write articles like this. Dear Reader, if you observe these kinds of situations, please stand up against those bullies. Your intervention could truly heal a broken heart. 💗 AuDHD individuals are often introverts. We face dismissive and belittling comments, judgments, and criticism for our differences almost every day in various life situations. Can I be honest? It truly hurts. Most of the challenges we face as AuDHD individuals stem from a deficiency in neurotransmitters, which are crucial for effective communication within our nervous systems. Our brains may produce lower levels of these essential chemicals, leading to difficulties in emotional regulation, social interaction, and sensory processing, ultimately affecting our overall well-being. Living with neurodiversity means that we often react, speak, act, and perform differently from the majority of people due to inherent differences in brain structure, function, and chemistry. These differences, which involve neurotransmitters and neural pathways, reflect the unique ways our brains process information. Neurodiversity encompasses lifelong conditions that affect how we think, learn, and interact with the world. Let me give you some examples on what this looks like in daily life situations: 1. Social Interaction Social interaction can often feel like a daunting mountain to climb for us AuDHD introverts. The pressure to engage in conversations and navigate social settings can lead to feelings of anxiety and exhaustion. For me, I love meeting in small groups or just one person, sharing lunch, going for a walk, or engaging in hobbies together; however, the larger the group, the more challenging it becomes for me to navigate the social dynamics. 2. Sensory Overload Because my hearing is super sensitive and does not filter noises correctly, this leads to sensory overload. Sadly, not all people have compassion; some even judge me or make dismissive comments when I try to explain why I cannot go to loud restaurants. They tell me that I am ridiculous. Yes, there are those who belittle us for something we were born with, something that is not our fault at all. 3. Communication Communication is more difficult than many could imagine. This can lead to feelings of isolation. Writing is a beautiful and healing way for me to find my voice in a society that often values the loudest and fastest. As a neurodiverse individual, I may stumble and stutter in heated moments, making it challenging for me to articulate my thoughts during arguments. This can lead others to underestimate me or assume I am less intelligent, which doesn’t reflect my true capabilities. However, when I take the time to express my feelings and thoughts in writing, it often resonates deeply with others, helping them to see my perspective in a new light. 4. Emotional Regulation Emotional regulation can be difficult too. What people often misunderstand is that with ADHD, the one thing that is missing due to a lack of neurotransmitters is that door that keeps emotions under control. Others may judge me for being too sensitive, which adds to the challenge. In response, I try to fit in and often repress the many emotions I experience in daily life situations whenever possible. Another sad strategy I’ve adopted is to simply avoid situations where there could be too many emotions. For years, retreating into solitude has been my self-protection strategy, allowing me to avoid the painful comments others make about my sensitivity... 5. Fatigue and the need to recharge Fatigue can creep in when the demands of social interactions and sensory experiences become too much for me. Self-care is not a luxury; it’s a necessity. Because of the differences in the way my brain and nervous system process daily life situations, I simply need more time to rest and recharge. This is why I cherish those Sundays spent cuddling on the sofa with a cozy blanket; I need them much more than others do. 6. Routine Disruption Some people say they love surprises, but I fear them. Routine disruptions can feel like a sudden shift in the ground beneath our feet. While predictability may sound boring to others, for me, it is a beautiful source of comfort. When that predictability is disrupted, it can leave me feeling insecure. I truly embrace the small rituals that bring me peace. A compassionate person who is patient and gives me the necessary time to adjust to change would be the best friend in those situations. The best are those who understand this and make plans with me 1-2 days in advance, knowing that having the time to prepare helps me immensely. This is enough examples for today. Thank you for your patience. I share these thoughts, knowing that more information creates greater understanding, and from there, people will be able to cultivate more compassion and tolerance. It helps if you can share this article with your colleagues and friends to foster greater understanding. If you have any questions or need support, please don’t hesitate to reach out - I’m always here to help. With love and light, Jeanne 💗 #StopBullying #EndBullying #StopMobbing #Neurodiversity #Neurodiverse #MentalHealthMatters #Inclusion #Empathy #Kindness #Awareness  As a woman, I have experienced discrimination more than once in my life. But this article is not about me. It all began with a little boy, who one day asked a very big question… Yes, it was an innocent question from a 5-year-old boy in an international school where I worked as an assistant teacher: “Jeanne, why is his skin brown and different from mine?” This student was from Sweden, and his little friend was from India. To answer their question, I took a round globe showing our Planet Earth and used a yellow ball to represent the sun. I showed the whole class that in some countries the sun shines at a direct and straight angle, stronger and for much longer compared to northern countries. Looking at the globe and the yellow ball, the children could see how the angle of the sun’s rays changes depending on where they reach the Earth. I explained that in order for people in those countries not to get sunburned, their skin naturally became darker, working as a built-in protection. A little bit of geography, a little bit of biology, along with some drawings on a few pieces of paper, was enough for even these 5-year-old children to understand why some of their classmates had brown skin and others had white skin. So why is it that some grown-ups still cannot understand these simple facts? I guess I was born colorblind, because I never truly understood racism. Or perhaps my neurodiversity has shaped my mind in a way that makes me think and feel that we are all equal on this planet. Serious: I find racism, and discriminations of any kind, profoundly sad, because they cause so much pain. I also find it terrible, because it creates separation where bridges of understanding and compassion could be built. No, I am not naïve. There are situations where I will not like a person, and it does not matter if their skin is blue or green, or if they pray to a God on a different planet. If a person treats others without respect, I will not like them. Point. And if someone speaks or acts without consideration and behaves like a narcissistic elephant, I will not like that person either. And I will probably avoid this person, solely because of their lack of respect toward others. But this has absolutely nothing to do with skin color, only with the way that person chooses to act. The character and the qualities of a person’s heart are what I truly see and care about. When I worked as a volunteer helping refugees who arrived in our country, I often encountered discrimination. At times, it felt necessary to explain to adults what I had once explained to children: that the reason some people have brown skin is simply a natural protection mechanism, shaped by biology and geography. But the true measure of a person lies in the heart, in their behavior, integrity, respect, and kindness. These are always choices each individual makes. If, like me, you believe in the spiritual laws of reincarnation, then the whole question of skin color becomes obsolete and non-existent anyway. Moreover, if a person repeatedly harms people from a certain group, chances are it may be part of their karma to be born into that very same group in their next lifetime. If you believe in reincarnation, you naturally understand, especially if you are an older Soul, that you have lived many lives across all continents, in different countries, and in different skin colors. This awareness allows you to meet people from every nation with the same compassion and respect. And often, when traveling, you may even feel that you have been there before, a long, long time ago… In my personal understanding, we could all be one big, happy community wherever we live. We could share the wisdom of our elders, offer whatever helps others, support one another, and learn from each other in order to make this world a better place for all. When we choose respect and kindness, we build the new bridges our world truly needs. The funny thing is that people in my own country sometimes look at me and ask where I am from. My answer is always gentle: does it truly matter, when what really counts is the heart? With love, compassion, and a warm hug, Jeanne 🌸 🌿 💫 #EndDiscrimination #EqualityForAll #StopRacism #JusticeForAll #UnityInDiversity #HumanRights #TogetherAsOne 🌸  Today, let us pause, share a gentle cup of tea, and reflect together on that timeless question: what is the meaning of our life, and why are we here? Yes, there is a reason why we are here, why we are all here. We carry a purpose in this life, a quiet calling to fulfill, and it may be more beautiful and more meaningful than some dare to imagine. I was somehow faced with the question of the meaning of my life because of chronic health issues, as I have written in my older blog posts. Living in a society where most people judge others only by their professional achievements, my health issues led to one failure after another, and too often I was judged by others, and with every setback I felt more like a complete failure. Like many others, I longed for a sense of direction, I wanted to give my life at least a little meaning. In tears and despair, sitting on my couch one evening, I found myself wondering, why am I even here, what is the purpose of my life? Dealing with chronic health issues, I asked in meditation, if pursuing a career is not possible for me, then tell me, what am I supposed to do with my life? The Divine The Universe has sent me answers through books about the ancient spiritual teachings from great teachers around the world. Reading those books gave me new hope, and over time I began to put the pieces of the puzzle together. Of course, my ego struggled with the fact that I could not build a great career or gather professional success to show off. But when you live through certain hardships and face chronic health issues, sooner or later you learn, somehow, to set your ego aside. As I gradually let go of my own limiting ideas about what should and must be the meaning and purpose of my life, a new world opened before me. I discovered that my true task, the real work to do, was not about outer success but about spiritual cultivation and walking the path of the Soul. It may sound simple, and I may not find the perfect words here, but of course the human ego is not very interested in anything it cannot use to show off or to gain other people’s praise and good reputation. The ego longs for fame, material success, recognition, and attention. So whenever I tried to focus on those spiritual teachings, especially in the beginning, my own ego would rebel and resist. It would argue with thoughts like, how does this help to pay the bills? and many other materialistic reasonings. While walking and living the spiritual path, we are always called to do our best. We strive to live a responsible, honest, and respectful life. We bring integrity into our daily tasks, into our work, into our communities, and into the society we are part of. All of this is both precious and essential. The practices, techniques, and teachings we discover on the spiritual path then become our stable ground, our source of strength, the place where we can recharge our energy, our mind, and our heart. These inner resources make daily life lighter to carry, and they bring balance and a deeper sense of contentment to our being. The more I learned and practiced the spiritual teachings and the steps of meditation, the more I began to feel an inner peace I had never imagined possible. With every step along this path, I discovered healing for old burdens and long-carried wounds. And so, I continued to study, to read, and to practice with devotion. Not only did I receive inner healing, but my body and health also improved greatly, and for the past few years I have not needed any kind of medicine. The teachings of forgiveness, letting go, and acceptance slowly unfolded within me as a deep sense of relief that touched my whole being. Connecting with Divine Oneness became my daily practice, and the cultivation described in the teachings of the spiritual path gently transformed my heart, deepened my understanding, and revealed to me the true meaning of my life. Real and lasting inner peace is found the more we are able to let go. The true goal of our journey in this life is to reestablish a profound alignment with our Divine Self and our Divine Source. This awakening is one of the key purposes of our lifetime. We are here for our higher Divine Self, that eternal part of us that has traveled through many lifetimes, gathering spiritual wisdom within Divine Consciousness along the way. This is our real task, the sacred work entrusted to us. The many desires of our ego often create stress. We feel pressured while trying to achieve them, we struggle to hold on to them once we have them, and then we worry about losing them again. It becomes a circle of suffering that repeats itself in so many ways. Yet, we can see with time that the things our ego longs for are rarely lasting, and often bring only temporary satisfaction. The belief that we will feel happier or more complete by fulfilling every desire is, in truth, a tender illusion. It is not a failure of ours, but simply the way the ego tries to protect us and to fill an inner void. But that void cannot be healed by what is fleeting in the material world. It can only be met by turning inward, toward something deeper and eternal, where real peace and lasting fulfillment are found. The only treasures that truly serve us beyond this lifetime are the spiritual treasures we cultivate here and now. These are the gifts that remain with us forever. The spiritual wisdom and divine consciousness we gather in this life are the richest treasures we can hold, for they illuminate our Soul’s path far beyond this world. The real meaning of our life, as well as lasting peace, can only be found on the spiritual level, in oneness with our Soul. Here we discover true peace of mind and the embrace of unconditional love. It is within this sacred space that the cravings and the struggles of the ego gently come to rest. I can only speak from my own experience, yet all the books I have studied and all the teachers I have met confirm the same truth: this path heals us on every level of our being. It fills the mind with peace and the heart with love, because it nourishes the Soul. There is no final “right or wrong” on this journey, for it is guided by the higher Divine Spirit. It is not a path we can study or fully grasp with the human intellect, but one we can only walk with an open heart, and learn through direct personal experience with our Soul. If you have questions about this path, I would be happy to meet you in a video call and share about your experiences. It is always a joy to connect with like-minded Souls. May your heart find peace, your Soul feel nourished, and your path be lit with gentle light.

I miss hearing about those inspiring souls who offered hope-filled visions of peace and reminded us of our shared humanity, bringing people together again. As I read the news, I feel a deep sadness, and I can no longer stay silent. Where are all the true peacemakers now? On which channels are their voices being heard today? No matter which news site you turn to, good news seems harder to find. Some even lack thoughtful or intelligent reporting altogether, but that’s another matter, one for which only David R. Hawkins, M.D., Ph.D., seems to hold the answers. Can we return to a time when news channels highlighted peacemakers and shared wise solutions: stories that truly help make this world a better place for everyone? I know, it so often comes down to money. Good news doesn’t generate enough clicks; only negative emotions and hyped, shocking dramas seem to draw the numbers, and with them the profits. Here is my question, the real issue to think about: Is that really the world you want your children to live in? Think for a minute, seriously pause, take a deep breath, and ask your heart: is that the consciousness, the state of mind, and the society in which you want your sons and daughters to grow up? Are you sure you really want your children to live in a society that is becoming more and more focused on fighting, wars, dramas, lies, and insecurities in every area of their daily lives? No? Good. Because there really is a solution, a way to turn things around. Yes, there is another world we could create together: Imagine a peaceful world, where leaders gather with open hearts and sincere intentions, sitting together not as rivals but as fellow human beings, searching for fair agreements that honor the dignity and well-being of all. This world truly is big enough for every one of us, and it really is possible to share its resources with all people, everywhere, across this beautiful planet Earth. Yes, it is possible. Simply take a few minutes, close your eyes, and truly imagine this. Create that picture of a more peaceful world in your mind. How does it feel? Because we still have the power to change history. Why not? If we want to, we can. Where there is a real and honest will, there is always a way. And if people claim there is no way, it usually means they are settling for excuses instead of possibilities. A good start would be for the major news channels to share, more often, peaceful and benevolent solutions to the political issues and conflicts happening in different parts of the world. Just imagine how much that alone could transform society. Now picture a channel dedicated entirely to solutions, showing peacemaker people, sharing practical tutorials on how to create peace, nurture peace, and make it last across communities, nations, and continents. Seriously, why not? Those would be the kind of influencers we truly need today, reaching hearts and minds all around the world. It does not help when two hundred news channels report on the same terrible issues around the clock. Constant repetition does not bring solutions, nor does it stop the suffering. What this world truly needs are four hundred channels filled with the voices of peacemakers - teaching us how to end conflicts, how to create peace in troubled places, how to share resources fairly, and how to build safe cities with new homes for the homeless. Call me naïve, but I still love to imagine all people living life in peace, and I continue to believe that this truly is possible for our planet Earth. Yes, I like to ask, Why not? Why can’t they share? Why can’t they find peaceful agreements? Why can’t they respect one another? My question truly is: Why not? Is it because of ego? Perhaps. I know that some people spend money on seminars to reach enlightenment and learn how to set the ego aside. But maybe there is a simpler way. One can save the money, offering time in volunteer work instead, helping those in need. That, in itself, is the most direct path to selflessness. And selflessness, in truth, is the necessary key to a more peaceful world. Because in selflessness, without an ego, there is nothing left to fight about — only a heart filled with peace.

Let me reveal the naked truth about living with neurodiversity in Switzerland’s job market: For many years, I was happy working in customer care service and as an assistant in accounting. But that was before e-banking and before AI chatbots took those jobs away. Today, you’re expected to be a super-fast multitasker, and that is exactly where people with AuDHD and PTSD struggle. Our job market here rarely welcomes people with neurodiversity. And if you are older than 45, things get even more difficult. On top of that, my CV is far from perfect, since I was misdiagnosed for years before a doctor finally ran the right tests. There are several gaps in my CV, as I was chronically dealing with health issues. Employers see this as a red flag. Despite all my efforts, I am now afraid I won’t find a new job. It seems I am much better at helping others than at helping myself: the refugees I once helped as a volunteer all have jobs here now, and I am truly happy for them. Of course, they are younger, healthier, and stronger than I am. And with my AuDHD and PTSD, starting a new training program to earn a diploma is far more difficult than many could imagine. Our country now wants young, certified IT specialists. But customer service workers or assistants in accounting and finance are no longer in demand. Doctors tell me I should have a job that allows me to work from home at least 60% of the time, which of course greatly limits the range of available jobs. Even if I were to get a job, it would still require an employer with the patience and compassion to work with someone living with neurodiversity. Trying to find an intelligent solution, I once worked in a school as a language teacher for foreign children. But now, that work is handled by new learning apps, since they are less costly than human tutors. Just as the world has changed, the job market in our country has changed rapidly over the last five years. And I find myself wondering whether I should move to another country to search for a new career. Let me ask you, dear reader: what would you do if companies told you that your skills were no longer needed, that your health challenges made you less welcome in the job market, and that you were no longer good enough? Of course, I would love to start my own business, and you can see on my websites that I have already tried a few things. But I don’t have the budget to pay for expensive business coaches, and often what they explain in their videos feels far too overwhelming for an introvert person. And the one big barrier: with my AuDHD, I am a complete introvert. Honestly, I feel far too shy to make a self-marketing video - I just can’t do it. I would probably stammer, stutter, and struggle too much. With my form of neurodiversity, I have always been deeply introverted. Another painful reality is that banks refuse to give start-up capital to people living with health issues, leaving me feeling blocked before I can even begin. While I have tried several things and worked hard to keep up with new trends, social media marketing now also costs money, especially for beginners. In this country, living with chronic health issues and without a big income, it can quickly drain your budget and leave you feeling stuck. Still, I try to remind myself that even small steps forward can open unexpected doors, and I dare to hope that somewhere there is a place where my talents, empathy, and skills can truly be of value to an employer. Everybody tells me to make videos of myself. They don’t understand that this kind of self-marketing is the hardest thing for someone with my neurodiversity. Just the thought of it gives me stomach aches and fills me with anxiety. Dear reader, may I ask for your kindness and support? If you know a potential employer, please share this message (see the text in the picture below). A simple act like this could truly change my life, and I would be deeply grateful. If you know a good solution for my situation, I would be truly grateful for your insights: please feel free to write me a private message. Please share this article with your contacts, especially if you have many followers - it could help me find a new career and open new doors for me. I deeply appreciate new ideas, kind feedback, and any helpful information you can share. Thank you for your precious support and compassion - it gives me strength to keep going.

They loved story time and asked for it every single day. For them, those moments were magical: discovering the pictures in the books, following the hero’s adventures page after page. In those stories, you could truly see and feel the love of the authors. Each book was created with the love of their hearts, and the children felt it too. Some of my most beautiful childhood memories are the moments I spent in the local library, discovering countless books and diving into their captivating stories. I have always loved books. While others go shopping for shoes, I care much more about discovering new books. To me, books are precious treasures - filled with ancient wisdom and stories that bring healing to the heart. Most of all, I love reading books about spiritual teachings from all around the world. But now, this unique and precious magic of books for children seems to be disappearing. New technical, soulless tools are reading stories to children, often without the presence of an adult who can answer their questions. Before a little child has time to enjoy and process one situation, the artificial voice has already moved on to the next. And now, children no longer hold books in their hands, enjoying the beautiful pictures drawn with love by the authors. Instead, their eyes are fixed on tablet screens, receiving a sensory overload of sounds and images, all far too early for their young brains. When the love of the authors is no longer inside the books, when children no longer pause to enjoy an image created from the heart of a human being… what will happen to the power of imagination in a child’s heart? It breaks my heart to see that, in our towns, even bookstores and libraries are closing, as their light fades because business is no longer good for them. It is the same with books for adults: real books carry the love of their authors between the lines, transmitting their consciousness, feelings, and thoughts. I truly hope we can keep the treasures of books alive for all humanity. The question now is: how can we keep this magic alive and preserve the treasures of books for all humanity, without surrendering them to stories written and read by soulless machines? With Love, Jeanne 💗 See my LinkTree here 💗 #books #reading #imagination #storytelling #authors #libraries #bookstores #loveofbooks #magicofbooks  My heartfelt wish is to foster greater understanding, so that we can begin to dissolve the prejudices, the judgments, and the misleading information that too often surround neurodiverse people. There’s a very personal reason why I created a website dedicated entirely to neurodiversity. Yes, part of it is because I live with a neurodiverse diagnosis myself, but it goes much deeper than that. If you’ve ever picked up the phone and heard the devastating news that someone you care about has taken their own life… then you already understand the “why” behind this project, the reason these conversations, my websites, and this awareness exist. Because behind every label, every diagnosis, there is a human being — someone who feels deeply, who tries, who loves, and who deserves to be seen, heard, and understood.Here are the facts: Neurodiversity is a medical and neurological reality — it’s part of how human brains are naturally wired. Current research suggests that around 5% of the population lives with a neurodiverse condition such as ADHD or autism. Sadly, many people who live with neurodiversity also live with something that shouldn’t exist — judgment. Imagine what happens inside your heart when you’re criticized, bullied, humiliated, and judged — not just once, but again and again, year after year. It hurts deeply. Over time, that pain can erode your sense of self-worth and self-esteem, like water slowly carrying away stones in a river. Too often, people who don’t understand ADHD, autism, or other forms of neurodiversity rush to judge others — saying things like, “Did you see how he reacted?” ... But here’s what’s truly important to understand: Many neurodivergent people experience differences in brain chemistry, especially in the levels and regulation of neurotransmitters such as dopamine and norepinephrine. These are chemicals that help manage attention, emotional regulation, and impulse control. So when a person with ADHD or autism reacts differently, it’s not a character flaw — it’s a reflection of how their brain functions. It’s about living with a different neurological reality: one that deserves understanding, compassion, and support. Of course, we would like to react in what society calls a “normal” way — the kind of reaction that others expect to see in everyday situations. But just like other metabolic conditions people are born with, neurodiversity is something we’re born with too. When you live with neurodiversity, your nervous system simply doesn’t have all the resources it needs to respond in what society defines as a “normal” way. And this isn’t something we can force or control through willpower — any more than someone can control another medical condition through sheer determination. It is a biological, medical fact, not a choice. What often surprises me is how quickly some people rush to judge or gossip about others. There’s such rapidity in the way they form opinions, often without knowing the full story or the science behind it. Sometimes I find myself wondering: What is happening inside of them? Where does this need to judge come from? Because when someone feels compelled to belittle or criticize another person in order to feel superior, that impulse clearly doesn’t come from a place of love, understanding, or inner peace. People living with lifelong health or neurological conditions do not need more judgment — what they truly need is support, compassion, and tolerance. On top of that, living with neurodiversity often means facing additional challenges in the workplace. Trying to fit in — to meet expectations that weren’t designed with neurodivergent minds in mind — demands far more energy and effort. And despite giving your best, you may still face instability, misunderstandings, or even lose jobs more frequently than others. Sometimes, the hardest part isn’t from strangers, it’s when the people you like and trust begin to criticize or mock you for being different. That pain runs deep, because it touches the very core of belonging and self-worth. Yes, there are moments when you might end up feeling like a failure; not because you didn’t try, but because you gave twice the effort and still seemed to fall short. When you work harder than most and yet face more obstacles, it’s natural to feel defeated. And it simply hurts. And if, like me, you only received the right diagnosis later in life, then you know what it’s like to carry years of misunderstanding. You may have spent countless appointments hearing dismissive comments from professionals who didn’t yet understand neurodiversity, things like, “You’re too sensitive,” or “You’re not normal.” Words like these don’t heal — they wound. They can leave deep scars that take years of compassion and self-acceptance to mend. There are days when it’s truly hard to accept that no matter how much effort you give, no matter how deeply you care, you must live with the reality that your nervous system is simply different from that of about 95% of the people around you. And that this difference is lifelong. Yes, there have been many moments when I’ve quietly hidden my tears — moments when I wished that instead of judging me for reacting or doing things differently, people would simply offer a little more understanding, a little more help, and a little more support. Over time, the self-doubt can grow so heavy that your heart begins to feel exhausted. You start to wonder if you’ll ever truly fit in. And slowly, you begin to withdraw; not because you want to disappear, but because the constant pain of misunderstanding becomes too much to bear. Tragically, for some, this pain can lead them down a road of no return. It’s a path paved with loneliness, shame, and despair — and one that no one should ever have to walk. Because I know that pain all too well, it became my mission to transform it into something meaningful. That’s why I created this website project — to share as much positive, accurate, and uplifting information as possible. My goal is to raise awareness, nurture compassion, and build a world with greater understanding — so that no one living with neurodiversity ever feels alone or misunderstood again. Living with neurodiversity means that we often react, speak, act, and perform differently from the majority of people. These differences are not flaws; they arise from natural variations in brain structure, function, and chemistry. In neurodivergent individuals, certain neurotransmitters and neural pathways work in unique ways. These variations shape how we process information, how we focus, how we feel emotions, and how we interact with the world. Neurodiversity is a lifelong reality — a spectrum that includes conditions such as ADHD, autism, and others — each influencing how a person thinks, learns, communicates, and experiences life. To offer understanding, guidance, and hope, I created this website project — a space dedicated to sharing knowledge, compassion, and support for anyone living with neurodiversity, and for those who wish to understand it better. This website is not a business — it is a faith-led project born from a spirit of loving presence and compassion. All services offered here are given freely, as an expression of spiritual faith and genuine care. There are no required fees, only an open heart and a desire to support others. Across the globe, countless individuals living with ADHD, AuDHD, and other forms of neurodiversity struggle each day — many without access to proper healthcare, or without the emotional understanding they deeply need. This is why I created this project and this website: to offer kindness, knowledge, and hope, where too often there has been silence or misunderstanding.

And second, the side effects are often so severe that, in many cases, living without them feels like the better option. For me, I choose to live without medication.

At one point, my CPTSD had become so overwhelming that I struggled to speak and eat normally, and there were times when I would stutter as a result. Today, as promised, I want to focus on something much more uplifting: the journey of healing and recovery. I believe it's important to talk about what helps, what heals, and what inspires us to keep moving forward. My hope is that by sharing these insights, people will find comfort and encouragement on their own path to healing. Have you ever wondered why some people seem to recover more quickly from PTSD than others? I certainly have. After being diagnosed with complex post-traumatic stress disorder (CPTSD) and desperate to make my panic attacks stop, I not only worked with a specialized trauma therapist but also read extensively on PTSD to gather as much information as possible. Sometimes I even found myself arguing with my doctor, asking, “Why does recovery take so long?” Factor #1: Age at the Time of Trauma One crucial factor in why some people recover faster than others is their age when the trauma occurred. Children’s brains and nervous systems are still developing, so when trauma strikes early in life, the younger the child, the deeper and more lasting the impact can be. In contrast, a fully grown adult with a mature nervous system is affected differently by the same event. Therefore, an adult can recover more quickly. Additionally, an adult has the knowledge and life experience to react and respond effectively in many situations, whereas a child naturally feels overwhelmed and scared because they cannot defend themselves physically and lack that experience. Consequently, the same event is far more traumatizing for a child than for an adult. This is why trauma in early childhood leaves deeper scars on the nervous system, making recovery take longer and requiring deliberate work with a therapist. Early-life trauma embeds deeper neural and physiological changes because a child’s brain and stress-regulation systems are still developing. These “molecular scars” can be seen in altered gene-expression patterns and circuitry long after the event. Factor #2: Physical vs. Psychological Wounds The second factor behind differences in recovery is the nature of the trauma itself. Physical traumas, such as childhood abuse or serious accidents, involve direct bodily harm, embedding deep physiological and emotional wounds. Physical traumas create both somatic and emotional wounds, driving lasting dysregulation in stress-response pathways. Psychological traumas, on the other hand, do not cause a physical injury and are often easier to process and heal. Factor #3: Cumulative Effects of Trauma The third factor involves the frequency and accumulation of traumatic events. When situations are repeated or new traumas build on top of earlier ones, they often lead to CPTSD, whereas recovering from a single event is generally easier. Factor #4: The Importance of Early Support Another important factor influencing the recovery process is how quickly the person accessed help, emotional support, and a safe environment after the traumatic events. Many children receive no help and suffer in silence for years. Only later, as adults, can they seek support and find a qualified trauma therapist. This is why, when people say they have PTSD, they may be referring to entirely different experiences. I always ask about their age at the time of the trauma, the nature and frequency of the events, and other pertinent details, since these factors reveal whether recovery will take more or less time. One example: Relearning Safety and Presence For example, although most people find it simple, with CPTSD I had to relearn how to feel safe and stay fully present in the here and now - a “simple” skill that’s incredibly hard to master for those of us with CPTSD. 🌿These are just some basic insights to get started. I’ll write more about this in the future. Feel free to reach out if you have any questions - I’m always happy to share what I’ve learned on my journey. 💗 With love, Jeanne #CPTSD #PTSD #Recovery #TraumaHealing #HealingJourney #TraumaRecovery #YouAreNotAlone #Resilience  Yes, there was a time in my life when I felt angry with God. It was many years ago, yet the memory of that day is still as clear as if it happened only yesterday. That day, I was standing in a church, and before me were two coffins. It was a double funeral, one for my boyfriend and the other for one of our closest friends. You never forget the moment you receive a phone call like that. When I arrived at his parents’ house, my first question was simply: how? High-speed car races may look thrilling in movies, but when men try to imitate them in real life, the consequences can be devastating. My boyfriend was not the one driving. He was only sitting in the wrong car. Yet that day, he was the one who died in the arms of his best friend. The ambulance arrived too late to the place where the accident had happened. A few days later, I was standing in the graveyard at his tomb, and suddenly I felt a deep anger toward God. Why him, my heart cried. God, why did you allow this? You know the steps of grief, and one of them is bargaining. That was where I found myself, trying to bargain with God. In my anger, I decided that I could no longer believe in a God who would allow such terrible things to happen. Anger makes you bitter, and bitterness can make even the most beautiful people seem weighed down. In those days I became rebellious, and I often met people’s attempts to comfort me with sarcasm. I blamed God, because deep inside I felt betrayed that He had not protected my boyfriend that day. I even colored my hair black, dressed only in dark clothes, and listened to music that matched my sorrow. I was not truly grieving in a healthy way; I was reacting out of pain, not knowing how else to carry the weight of my loss. To make matters worse, the local journalists wrote an ugly article about the car accident and put it on the front page with pictures of the two demolished cars. In my anger I even imagined taking a baseball bat and smashing the journalist’s car, just as actor Ji Sung smashes that other car with a hammer in the Korean show The Devil Judge. That scene captured exactly how I felt in that moment. Seriously, what kind of person writes such an article and puts it on the front page without first asking the family members of the deceased? Walking through life feeling angry, trying to avoid what you really feel, suppressing grief and denying the pain you feel, is pure self-deception. But for a few months, it was the only way I could continue walking through my life. I was not able to stand still, and I avoided sitting still by keeping myself busy with all possible distractions, no matter how stupid they were. Eventually, the day of the breakdown came, when I finally reached the point where I admitted to myself that the anger I felt did not bring back the man I had loved. Because this is the raw truth: no matter how angry we feel, no matter what we do, they do not come back. Finally, I laid that anger aside and began searching for something to comfort me. As always, when I needed answers, I went to the local bookstore, exploring books from various spiritual teachings. Somehow, I ended up buying The Tibetan Book of Living and Dying by Sogyal Rinpoche (published in 1992). This book guided me through an important step of grief: acceptance. But even more importantly, I learned with that book to honor the fact that certain souls are not meant to stay for 120 years, and sometimes they must leave earlier than we wish. Laying aside my selfish desires and truly respecting that a soul had to continue its path beyond this world somehow helped me to let go. With this new understanding of the sacred journey of our souls, I felt more inner peace. The anger and sorrow that had weighed on my heart began to loosen, and for the first time in months, I felt a gentle release. With this calm, I was able to make peace with God, our Divine Source, once again. When we truly honor the journey of the Soul, we are respecting the path they must follow. Rest assured, there’s truth in the saying that time heals certain wounds — and with time, it really does get easier. If you are facing a loss or going through a difficult time, please know that you are not alone. I am here for you, and you can reach out to me anytime.

Laughing can genuinely help us take things less seriously, and sometimes seeing life through a humorous lens lifts the weight from the heart. That’s why I’m going to share some funny stories about living with AuDHD. First, let me remind you: it’s a spectrum. This means every person on the ADHD-Autism spectrum is truly unique, so please don’t compare. For example, in school I was a very good student, but the moment mathematics came up, I checked out. While some people have great talents in certain areas, others have strengths in different places, simply because they’re on another part of the spectrum; and the same goes for the challenges, too. Some struggle with certain things, while others don’t. So, what I share in my texts is about my own experience, my personal strengths, difficulties, and place in the spectrum. Yes, people can be judgmental, and I was bullied often: at work, in everyday life, and even by my ex-boyfriend. It hurts, and sometimes it feels really difficult. But does it change anyone if I cry? No. Does any condition disappear if I get sad? No, AuDHD doesn’t simply go away; it’s a lifelong journey. A wise meditation teacher once told me that acceptance is the true key to inner peace. Even though my ego resisted, I gradually moved toward acceptance, and he was right: it feels much better. Life with AuDHD is anything but ordinary; bursting with creativity, spontaneity, and endless surprises. It never gets boring, that much is certain. Ok, let’s have some fun and share a few funny moments from my daily life with AuDHD. Fun Fact #1: The License-Free Road Rider 🚫🏍️ I can’t drive, I don’t have a driver’s license. Why? Well, when your brain produces fewer neurotransmitters and impulse control is a challenge, driving safely becomes tricky! Honestly, I’d probably drive too fast all the time. So please, don’t hand me the keys to your Harley-Davidson, because I’d happily ride it from west to east across Canada. See you along the way. 😊 Fun Fact #2: Enjoy the Stillness 🌿 🌿 I can’t go to the movie theatre; if I do, my stomach feels sick after just 15 minutes. It’s the same at home, in shopping malls, or any public place with dolby surround speakers; for someone with sensory hearing differences, those loud sounds are simply overwhelming. When your hearing can't filter noise properly, even everyday loudness can cause sensory overload. So, loud and crowded restaurants with music? I just can’t eat there, no matter if it’s a five-star spot. But invite me to a peaceful picnic in a beautiful park, and I’m all yours. 😊 Fun Fact #3: The Harmony-Loving Peacemaker 💖 Mean arguments? Please, let’s stop, I really don’t want to argue with you. Instead, let’s sit down and talk kindly with each other. Loud yelling? I leave the room. If it happens a second time, I’ll walk away and end things. Sulking for days? No thanks, not with me. I gently insist we clear the air, because my heart needs peace and safety in every relationship. I know this might sound naïve. From my perspective, the heart is happiest when we share love, kindness, and mutual support instead of playing ego games about who’s right. Fun Fact #4: The Fair Play Lawyer ⚖️ I might be the quiet one in a debate, but don’t underestimate me, I see exactly what’s happening beneath the surface. My ADHD comes with a deep yearning for fairness. The moment I spot injustice or someone being treated unfairly, I morph from a cute cuddly kitten into an angry tiger. Watching the news with me? Brace yourself for tears. I need plenty of comforting hugs - because I simply can’t bear the unfairness in politics around the world. You’ll hear me echo the same question a hundred times: Why? Why can’t they just make peace and reach a fair agreement? Seriously… why? Fun Fact #5: Read the Room ⏳ Early in the morning, I went into my boss’s office to get some documents. He was sitting at his desk, and we hadn’t yet met or spoken a word that day. While I opened the cupboard to grab the papers, I looked at him and said, “Man, you have a serious stomachache—are you feeling ok?” He was astonished: “How could you know that? We haven’t met this morning.” This kind of thing happens all the time. And sometimes, when people tell me the opposite of what’s really going on, I just quietly smile... Fun Fact #6: The Time-and-Space Continuum 🚀 A different perception of time and spatial processing is a well-established medical fact in ADHD, rooted in neurobiological and cognitive differences. When I seriously focus on a book or work on a creative project, I somehow travel to another dimension to find the information I’m looking for - and in those moments, I lose track not only of time, but of space too. If we have an appointment, I must always set an alarm on my phone. If you see me deep in concentration, please don’t interrupt abruptly. A gentle touch or soft prompt is all it takes to bring me back. Fun Fact #7: The Persistent Punctuality Paradox ⏰🎯 While many with ADHD struggle with deadlines, I become a super-early adapter, arriving ahead of time, armed with checklists and backup alarms, determined not to let time blind spots derail my plans. Showing up early gives me a moment of calm before the storm, a chance to organize my thoughts and brace for whatever comes next. But there’s a flip side: waiting can feel like torture, my mind bouncing between ten things I could be doing instead. So if you see me a good ten minutes before our meeting, know it’s not nerves—it’s strategy. And if I ever do run late, check my phone alarms: one of them probably didn’t go off! Fun Fact #8: The Idea Factory 💡 My ADHD mind is a nonstop brainstorm. I have many, many, many ideas and super creativity bursting at the seams. When one spark ignites, concepts explode - stories, inventions, art projects, solutions: each one connecting dots others might never notice. Sometimes it feels like I’m juggling a thousand thoughts, each demanding exploration before the next one arrives. If you need a partner for wild brainstorms or creative deep dives, just tap into my Idea Factory. Fair warning: picking the “best” idea often takes longer than dreaming up the dozen that follow! ✨ These eight examples illustrate what daily life with AuDHD looks like for me; and I promise there are plenty more waiting in the wings. One challenge I face is that, due to my AuDHD, I am a complete introvert. This makes social media marketing especially difficult for me; and although I need help, many marketing experts charge exorbitant fees, and ads are costly as well. Speaking in front of a camera or in public is tough for me, which is why I create videos featuring AI-generated cartoon figures - characters inspired by the heroes from my favorite movies, adding a fun touch. If you have any questions or want to know more, feel free to drop me a line, I’m always here to help. Until next time, embrace your spark and be gentle with yourself. 💖 With Love, Jeanne www.jeannejess.com #neurodivergent #AuDHD #ADHD #Neurodiversity #CreativeMind #Hyperfocus #SensorySensitive  If our incomes and the existence of our businesses, no matter what work we do, depend more and more on the mysteries of those ever-changing algorithms from social media platforms, then we need a new mindset to stay healthy. We need to establish for ourselves a stable inner ground and real mental strength, so we do not get caught up in those hamster wheels. By now it seems clear that the promised freedom is a very fragile iceberg, melting within the rules of online marketing. There it was at last, that one video with a content creator who honestly shared how much he paid to get more clicks, more followers, and more views. Together with other writers, we had begun wondering what was going on with the whole world of social media marketing, a mystery that is growing for more and more people. At the same time, a truly wonderful and loving author of children’s books and youth literature had just published an open letter in a news magazine about the changes she experienced with her work. Where in the past she reached almost 70,000 sales per book in her own country, now she struggled to make at least 3,000 sales. She was loved by many, visiting schools all over Germany, presenting her books and meeting with teachers, parents, and the young generation. Her books were positive, uplifting, and inspiring for young students and children, created with true love. But in the last few years, the changes she observed in young people left her worried. Just like her, many wonderful authors who put their hearts and love into every book now struggle to reach the right readers. The book market is getting flooded with soulless AI-written books. And it is not only books, these changes in the way things are sold now are also affecting other products and services. The growing question is honesty, what happened to honesty in this new world of advertising? This content creator mentioned above shared in his video how much he paid for bots, for click farms, and for all kinds of different ads on social media channels, only to reach the numbers required to be monetized by those platforms. When he finally reached that point and was accepted to start monetizing his channel, he explained how the real struggles had only just begun. The moment one video reaches the desired number, the pressure starts to grow, because followers need to be fed constantly in order not to lose them. This is why every content creator feels the constant pressure to entertain, just to hold on to their followers and welcome new ones, day after day, week after week. The competition grows ever harsher, and the fear of losing followers can weigh heavily on the heart, like a never-ending shadow. Even the most honest and dedicated creators find their mental health at serious risk, because in this new reality, every success can turn into failure faster than the weather changes. It is no wonder that more and more people are struggling with mental health, facing challenges that were once unimaginable. And this is where truth begins to fade, and the hyping takes over, just to survive in the world of social media marketing. Suddenly, a simple object, a normal product, or even a genuinely good service must be presented as the most mysterious, the most shocking, the most unique, the most extraordinary, the absolute must-have. Everything is exaggerated, wrapped in intense emotions, and surrounded by a drama that grows bigger and bigger, all just to capture followers and make sales. Sadly, this is where the art of manipulative rhetoric has become a new trend. If you try to read between the lines of what is really being said, and remove all the hyped-up words designed to create fake emotions, the same video would be much shorter. Because videos now must be long in order to generate more revenue, even the most honest creators find themselves forced to add extra layers of words just to meet the demands of those mysterious algorithms. Understand me clearly here: these are good people, with good services and certainly good products. Many of them have honest intentions, you can feel it and see it. You can see that most of these people do not want to use the “hyping marketing strategy,” but sadly, the reality of online marketing leaves them with little choice. Over the last few years, the whole social media world has evolved in this direction, and honest businesses that were once successful now find themselves struggling to meet their monthly budgets. Because only this kind of hyping seems to attract viewers and signal to the algorithms that your content is worth sharing on their platforms. But in the end, it is still just a normal object, a simple product. More often now, we see in the news people sharing how they lost everything, literally everything they had, while trying to invest in their online business after following some online marketing gurus. Their honest videos at least help others avoid making the same mistakes. This is why I admire those de-influencers who are real, authentic, honest, and grounded. A digital detox is wise and every doctor would recommend it. But many cannot take a digital detox, because every day someone is not active online is a day when their followers move on to the next loudest influencer. Last week, I posted a new video on YouTube, not to make sales, because I do not sell anything online, my work is a non-profit project to help people living with the same health issues. I often find myself wondering how to create a crowdfunding campaign in this fast-changing world of social media. As an introvert, I would truly value guidance or mentorship from someone who has been through this journey. It has been disheartening to find that most coaches charge fees I simply cannot afford right now. Therefore, I posted the video with zero expectations. The fast-changing algorithms of social media marketing make it harder and harder for honest business owners to keep up. What is a hot trend today can become yesterday’s news by next week. Success can shift in just a few days, followers come and go faster than ever, and the dream of a promised income can turn into a 24/7 full-time job, leaving little room for real life, rest, or peace of mind. Dear reader, I know how overwhelming this world of social media and constant pressure can feel. You are not alone, and your experiences truly matter. I warmly invite you to join me for a video call, where we can share our stories, exchange insights, and learn from each other’s experiences.

Here is my answer to all of them: I have serious reasons for why I do what I do. When I was a teenager, I was standing in the street with one box containing all my belongings. I looked at the social worker and asked, "Where will I sleep tonight?" You could say that on that day, God sent me the answer to my prayers after many years of enduring difficult situations. I won't burden you with the details and things I experienced during years as a child; but back in those days, child protection services only intervened when someone was in serious physical danger. If you want to know those details, I can send you the first chapter of the book I'm working on. This is why I offer free services on my websites and don't ask for money. Because I experienced, as a child, what it means to lose your family and your home, more than once. Living in foster homes during those early years, feeling like a dog left in a shelter that nobody wants — I could write a book about it. But what I really want to write about is how to recover, how to heal, and how to find inner peace after those kinds of experiences. Those are the reasons why I don’t ask questions, I don’t ask for names or email addresses, and I never ask for money. Because I’ve been there. I’ve seen difficult times, and I know how it feels. To ensure that my services are accessible to everyone, I do not require any fees from individuals facing challenging circumstances, such as those who have lost their jobs, single parents, or those in recovery. For those with stable situations and a steady income, I offer my services on a donation basis. Because I have known those kinds of situations: when a person has truly lost their family and home, or is facing severe health issues, has lost their job for whatever reason, or has no health insurance — then of course, they don’t have the money to pay for a coach or therapist. But it is precisely in those situations that they need someone to talk to, someone to listen to them, and someone to uplift them the most. This is why I offer my services for free. Many people donate during the Christmas holidays and that is wonderful. But from a young age, I’ve known what it’s like to spend every week of every month of the year alone, without the love, comfort, and support of a caring family. Whenever I write on my websites: You are not alone, I am here for you, I mean it more than one can imagine — because I know there are others who have experienced the same. I hope this helps you understand why I offer free services on my website. 💗 Thank you.

The reason behind it wasn’t funny at all. Beneath that insecurity was a little girl with a broken heart, deep emotional despair, and a mountain of insecurity, all rooted in undiagnosed PTSD from physical childhood abuse. During all those years, I was repressing all that despair and hiding behind a mask of perfect outward appearances and aloofness. I myself was not yet aware that I had built a wall around me out of fear. Of course, I was anorexic, but I would never admit it. Whenever people asked, I insisted I had no problems and was doing just fine, and that big lie was always my only answer. In deep despair and longing for love and approval, I had trained myself to look perfect on the outside: because it was the only way I knew to receive even a little love. When you grow up in a dysfunctional environment where adults never show you that you are lovable and no one ever gives you a comforting hug, you form a painful belief: that you are not lovable and not worthy of love if you simply show your true self. In those younger years, I was insecure, superficial, and distant. But the reason I kept people away was not that I disliked them, but because I felt so deeply ashamed of the many painful things hidden in my broken heart — and this is why I even rejected those I truly loved in my heart. I felt so insecure about myself that I was hungry for every little piece of approval from others. Of course, back then I had no faith in any kind of God, and I didn’t yet know that I was born with neurodiversity. All those years, I was literally afraid of the question: “How are you feeling right now?” That’s why I became so good at avoiding those kinds of situations. Aloofness therefore became my survival mask and the only coping mechanism I knew. If by chance I met an awakened soul who could see beyond my insecurity and offered me a hug out of compassion, I would break down in tears. But then, of course, I would quickly find an excuse, denying the real despair I felt in my heart, unable to admit that I needed help. My aloofness was simply a wall of protection, built on repeated traumatic experiences in childhood. The fear of being hurt, rejected, or abandoned again was programmed into my very being, and I had no idea how to escape it. Aloofness was the only way I knew to protect myself in any social situation, whether in private life or at work. My self-image was shaped by unworthiness; because of what I had experienced, I never truly believed that anybody could love me. But the sad paradox of using aloofness as self-protection is that, in truth, your heart longs for love even more than those who have the support of their families. And the many hidden wounds are triggered again and again whenever a friend tries to get closer to your heart. Yes, real connections triggered deep panic in me for many years. For those with PTSD, fears of vulnerability can reach an entirely different level. No, I was not truly living, I was stuck in survival mode. Until, of course, the physical symptoms grew serious, as if my soul had pressed the stop button. Only then could I begin to heal those wounds, one by one. My aloofness was a protective barrier, developed from past experiences that made me wary of emotional closeness. Today, I still need more time than others before I can truly open up to someone. But at least now I can talk about it and ask for patience. To support others who have gone through similar experiences, I created my blog websites. If this resonates with you, feel free to write me. You are not alone.

Some scars heal quickly, while others need time, care, and compassion. If neglected, even old wounds may reopen before they’ve truly healed. 💗 Each scar carries a story. Some scars make us human, while others make us want to hide. We fear being seen, afraid that others might judge us for what we’ve been through, because we feel ashamed about what happened. Living with PTSD from physical abuse in childhood, I spent most of my life unable to talk about these scars with anyone. Whenever a man talked about marriage or proposed, I felt overwhelmed. Fear would take over, and I’d leave, sometimes quite literally, running away. For many years, I felt too ashamed. Unable to express what I had been through, I developed eating disorders. Half-anorexic, I eventually asked a doctor for help, and slowly found my way back to a healthy weight. But whether they’re visible or hidden, these scars belong to us. They are woven into who we are. The good news is: in unity with our Divine Soul, we hold the power to transform the energetic imprint of these scars. We can shift them from pain to neutrality, and eventually to peace - until we feel peace with them, and peace about them. The key to this transformation is always Love, and sometimes forgiveness is needed. We should never feel ashamed of our scars - whether they are visible or invisible. They are part of our journey, and you are lovable no matter what. And no matter how big or small a scar may seem, we should always feel safe to ask for help. Sharing our scars with others can help them understand us more deeply. It invites connection, builds trust, and can even strengthen relationships. Vulnerability is not weakness: it’s a bridge to compassion. You are not alone. If your heart feels heavy, know that you're always welcome to reach out. I'm here if you need a friend to talk to.

This frequency can also be felt in a text, a book, a piece of art, or any creation: the love it carries cannot be copied by others. What many do not yet understand is this: whenever a person creates something - a book, a piece of art, a song, or anything at all - that creation always and forever carries the energy of their heart and Soul. You might not always be consciously aware of it, but deep down you feel those vibrations, resonating with the most intimate parts of your being. As a beautiful and unique Soul, everything you create and share is always infused with the singular love and energy of your heart. Reading translated books showed me that the energy and level of consciousness shift completely. In contrast, reading the original in English, French, or German brings an entirely different feeling, a different energy, a different level of consciousness. Whether a book or a movie is translated by AI software or by a human being, it simply does NOT have the same energy, the same feelings, nor the same vibrations: because it does not arise from the original creator’s consciousness and heart. That’s why I stopped reading translated books. I now watch films in their original languages, reading subtitles, when necessary, because hearing the actors’ true voices offers a completely different, richer experience: one that lifts the movie to another level. Some people may try to copy ideas and profit from books they never really wrote on Amazon and other online shops. But you feel the forgery from the first chapter: the odd vibrations it carries, the lack of honesty, the strange energy between the lines. The whole feeling of the book is empty, it is lacking passion, consciousness, and love. Readers won’t appreciate it, and its dishonest creators will shoulder their own bad karma from the Divine Universe. It’s the same in everyday life: you can always sense whether there is true love, honesty, and authenticity in what you read, receive, or hold in your hands. Real love can never be imitated - you know immediately if it’s fake, copied, or inauthentic. So, dear writers (and creators of art and music), rest assured: your original works always carry YOUR energy, YOUR feelings, YOUR love, YOUR light, and YOUR consciousness - and these energies can never be copied. Because you, as a beautiful Soul, are unique, everything you create and share carries the unique love of your heart.
