From Surviving to Sustaining: Finding Yourself While Raising a Neurodivergent Child

Elizabeth Rago

Founder of The Modern Domestic Woman (MDW)

In this honest and heartfelt presentation, Elizabeth Rago shares her personal story as the mother of a neurodivergent son who is now an adult. Together, we’ll explore how to protect your peace from outside pressures, redefine what success and progress look like, find healthy ways to release the weight we carry, and reconnect with the person you are beyond caregiving. Through guided table discussions and shared experiences, participants will leave feeling less alone, more understood, and equipped with practical ways to navigate their own journey with greater compassion, for their children and for themselves.

Hidden Words, Lasting Light Candle

Massiel Ullsmith

Founder | Creative Director of That Girl + Co Lifestyle Studio

Pour your own custom candle using luxurious organic coco-apricot wax and your choice of calming fragrances. Then, personalize your creation by arranging a hidden message with letter beads that will gradually be revealed as the candle burns. Whether it’s an uplifting affirmation like “You are enough,” “Keep going,” or “Choose joy,” your candle will become a meaningful reminder to return to whenever you need encouragement.
