Welcome to Decoding the Universe and the Mind—a blog that explores the beautiful, bewildering dance between the cosmic and the cognitive. Here, we don’t separate science from soul or intuition from intellect. We sit at the intersection of neurodivergence, spirituality, and lived experience.
Do you ever feel like the universe is trying to get your attention through everyday occurrences? Perhaps a random conversation with a stranger strikes a chord, or you notice a repeated pattern of events that feels too synchronistic to be mere coincidence. These are examples of the universe speaking to you through the mundane, using the ordinary to convey extraordinary messages. In this blog post, we’ll explore how to recognize and interpret these cosmic connections that are woven into your everyday life.
The cosmic connection is the way the universe communicates with you through seemingly mundane events. It’s a gentle reminder that you are always in sync with the greater flow of life, even when it doesn’t feel that way. These moments often come in the form of synchronicities—those “aha” moments when everything clicks, and you realize that there’s a deeper meaning behind what you’re experiencing.
1. Synchronicities:
- Synchronicities are meaningful coincidences that happen when your internal state aligns with external events. These can manifest in many ways, like meeting someone who has the perfect advice at the right time, seeing repeated symbols, or noticing themes that seem to pop up everywhere.
2. Everyday Symbols:
- The universe uses everyday symbols to communicate messages to you. This could be a song that plays at just the right moment, a phrase someone says that resonates deeply, or even a billboard you pass that seems to answer a question you’ve been pondering.
3. Unexpected Delays or Changes:
- Sometimes, what seems like an inconvenience is actually divine timing at work. That unexpected delay or change in plans could be the universe’s way of redirecting you toward something better or preventing you from heading in the wrong direction.
4. Interactions with Others:
- The universe often communicates through your interactions with other people. A seemingly casual conversation might reveal an insight you’ve been seeking, or someone might say something that triggers an epiphany or realization.
1. Be Present:
- The more present you are in your daily life, the more likely you are to notice the subtle messages from the universe. Practice mindfulness, stay aware of your surroundings, and observe any patterns or synchronicities that stand out.
2. Pay Attention to Your Emotions:
- The universe often communicates through your emotions. When something triggers a strong emotional response—whether joy, curiosity, or even discomfort—it’s worth taking a closer look at what that moment is trying to tell you.
3. Look for Patterns:
- When certain symbols, themes, or events keep repeating in your life, it’s a sign that the universe is trying to get your attention. Start paying attention to these patterns and consider what message they might hold.
1. Trust Your Intuition:
- Your first instinct when you notice a cosmic connection is often the right interpretation. Trust the thoughts or feelings that come up when you encounter a synchronistic event.
2. Ask for Clarification:
- If you’re unsure of the message, ask the universe for clarification. Be open to receiving additional signs or insights that will help you understand the meaning more clearly.
3. Consider the Context:
- The context of the message is important. What’s going on in your life right now? What question or challenge are you facing? The universe’s messages are often tied to your current circumstances, offering guidance or reassurance about your next steps.
The universe is always communicating with you, but the messages don’t always come in grand, mystical ways. More often, the universe speaks through the ordinary because it’s accessible and relatable. By using the mundane as a medium, the universe ensures that the messages are grounded in your daily life, making them easier to integrate and act upon.
The cosmic connection is alive and well, speaking to you through the everyday moments of your life. By staying present, aware, and open to the messages embedded in the mundane, you can deepen your relationship with the universe and navigate life with greater clarity and purpose. Remember, every moment holds the potential for cosmic communication—you just have to be willing to listen.

I'm an autistic, ADHD-having, multi-certified, queer femme with two degrees, several micro-credentials, and a lifetime of unmasking.
I’m also a recovering perfectionist, serial self-learner, and someone who has survived (and now thrives) beyond generational trauma, burnout, and the systems that weren’t built for people like us.
I built this work because I couldn’t find the support I needed—so I created it. Now I help other neurodivergent entrepreneurs do the same: reclaim their energy, unlearn shame, and create sustainable systems of success.
Toxic hustle disguised as “high performance”
We're not here for burnout culture or pretending exhaustion is a badge of honor.
Motivation rooted in shame
You won’t find any “not good enough” energy here. We build from self-trust, not self-criticism.
Trying to fit people into a “normal” box
You’re not too much or too weird — you’re just right. Neurodivergence, queerness, creativity, and complexity are welcome here.

Before my coaching journey with Cheryl, I was lost in a maze of unsorted thoughts and feelings, struggling to focus or find clarity in my life. Dealing with trauma and its repercussions felt like navigating through an endless storm. Cheryl's guidance was a beacon of light in that chaos.
Their approach, though uncompromising and direct, empowered me to confront my issues head-on. They equipped me with practical techniques tailored to my daily struggles, fostering resilience and self-awareness.
I've learned that healing isn't about being "fixed"—it's about growing stronger and more capable of facing life's challenges. Thanks to Cheryl, I now possess the tools to tackle each day with confidence. I am immensely thankful for their support and the transformative journey they guided me through. - Mandi she/her Canada
Cheryl has been amazing in helping me tap into my own energy and really get the most out of our sessions.
What's really cool about them is how they make everything super inclusive and easy to get into. They've gone out of their way to make sure everything we do fits what I can do and where I'm at, creating this super welcoming vibe that makes it easy to just be myself and open up.
They've got this knack for making you feel seen and heard. No matter what we're working on, I never feel judged or out of place. Cheryl's makes sure you're comfortable and uses strategies that are actually doable for me. It's been a game-changer, honestly. Having their support and knowing they're always there to guide me, but in a way that feels more like a partnership, has been huge for my personal growth. I'm really thankful for how they've helped me and made this journey so much more manageable and meaningful. - Erin they/she Canada
