About me

Hi! I'm Theresa. I'm a 34-year old lawyer and writer from Germany.

I've been writing since I was a kid and have published three books in German. I also have two podcasts.

On Substack, I write about the year after my mom died. I was her caregiver for five years, after she was diagnosed with terminal cancer and early-onset Alzheimer's. The caregiving was a deeply spiritual experience.

During that period, I struggled with addiction, got sober, broke free from a toxic relationship and started to work on my codependency issues. I started to meditate and regularly practice yoga and martial arts. I also got diagnosed with autism and ADHD and started to make sense of a lot of things that happened in my life.

Now I'm on the journey of tailoring a life that suits me and is aligned with my core values. Come with me on that journey through grief, loss, sobriety, neurodivergence, relationships, hope, spirituality and deep transformation.

I'm autistic and ADHD with chronic pain. I found out in my thirties and am now building a life that works for me. As a neuroaffirmative coach, I help others do the same. I write about sobriety, justice, neurodivergence, relationships and self-employment.
