About Me
Hi, I’m Kat Ravenmere — a crow‑brained creative, cozy‑chaotic storyteller, and midlife adventurer currently surviving the crossover episode that nobody wanted — ADHD with a side of menopause.
My brain runs on hyperfocus, side quests, and feral enthusiasm.
My body runs on hot flashes, hormonal plot twists, and a metabolism that now responds only to carb cycling, caffeine, or sheer stubbornness.
Together, we make one extremely unpredictable protagonist.
I built Crow Nests & Side Quests as a refuge for anyone trying to function while their brain and hormones are doing parkour off of each other. Here, I share the real stuff: low‑spoon meals, sensory‑friendly food, carb‑cycling experiments, ADHD shenanigans, midlife chaos, creative detours, and the tiny wins that feel like legendary loot drops.
This isn’t a place for perfection or “just be consistent” advice. I definitely don’t have it all figured out, but I’m here to share what I’ve learned and hopefully to learn from you, too!
This is a nest for the beautifully nonlinear — the distracted, the overheated, the overwhelmed, the creative, the exhausted, and the delightfully feral.
If you’ve ever forgotten what you were doing mid‑doing, cried because a dog wore boots, or ended up cleaning out the garage when you meant to clean the bathroom … you’re in the right place.
Pull up a perch.
You’re home now.
Why I Created This Space
I built Crow Nests & Side Quests because I needed a place where brains like mine — distracted, overheated, nonlinear, and occasionally feral — could exist without apology. A place where ADHD chaos, menopausal plot twists, weight shenanigans, and carb‑cycling experiments weren’t things to “fix,” but things to talk about with humor and honesty.
I wanted a corner of the internet where:
- side quests are valid
- tiny wins count
- low‑spoon days aren’t failures
- midlife changes aren’t shameful
- and nobody pretends to have it all together
This space is for anyone trying to function while their body is in its internal volcano era while their brain is off chasing butterflies. It’s for the cozy chaos gremlins, the midlife magic‑makers, the sensory‑sensitive adventurers, and the beautifully nonlinear humans who deserve a nest that feels like home.
I created this space because I needed it — and I know I’m not the only one.
What You’ll Find Here
This is a nest for the beautifully nonlinear — a place where ADHD chaos, midlife mischief, and everyday magic all get to exist without apology. Around here, you’ll find:
- feral midlife survival tips for navigating hormones, hot flashes, and body plot twists
- low‑spoon meals and chaotic kitchen alchemy for days when cooking feels like a side quest
- fuel‑the‑quest food ideas to keep you going when your brain is buffering
- crow‑brain chronicles full of ADHD shenanigans, sensory gremlin moments, and executive dysfunction adventures
- hyperfixation station detours into whatever shiny thing has captured my entire soul this week
- small wins and big magic to celebrate the tiny triumphs that make the chaos feel cozy
If your life feels like a mix of side quests, snack‑based survival, hormonal plot twists, and feral determination, you’re in the right place.
My Mission
My mission is to create a cozy‑chaotic refuge for the beautifully nonlinear — a space where ADHD brains, midlife bodies, and feral hearts can be messy, magical, and completely real. I’m here to make the messy parts of life feel less isolating and a lot more human, turning hormonal plot twists, executive dysfunction, sensory overwhelm, and carb‑cycling chaos into something we can laugh about, learn from, and survive together.
Through honest stories, low‑spoon solutions, creative side quests, and tiny wins worth celebrating, I want to help people feel seen, supported, and a little more magical in the middle of their everyday chaos. This nest is for anyone trying to build a life that fits who they are — distracted, overheated, overwhelmed, creative, exhausted, and still showing up.
A Few Fun Facts
- I run on caffeine, vibes, and whatever snack I forgot I packed.
My metabolism is basically a choose‑your‑own‑adventure book with no clear ending. - I can hyperfocus for 6 hours or forget my own name in 6 seconds.
There is no middle setting. Please do not ask for one. - I have at least three hobbies at any given time.
None of them are the one I planned to work on today. - My brain loves a good side quest.
My to‑do list does not. - I experience hot flashes that could power a small village.
Renewable energy, but make it hormonal. - I can meal prep like a champion… once every 47 moons.
The rest of the time, it’s vibes and freezer meals. - I collect cozy chaos like other people collect stamps.
It’s a lifestyle, not a phase. - I believe tiny wins deserve full‑scale celebration.
