Hi, I’m Eimy.

Hi! 👋 I’m Eimy Figueroa, a Queer, Neurodivergent Visual Communicator born in Puerto Rico (Taíno Territory) and now rooted in the Hudson Valley (Mohican Land).

I created Gentler after over a decade of navigating the fast-paced world of digital media, content creation, and visual merchandising and ultimately, burning out. Like many creatives, I spent years pushing through exhaustion, unknowingly battling undiagnosed AuDHD, and chasing an unsustainable version of success. It wasn’t until the forced pause of 2020 that I truly unraveled, realizing that healing required more than just therapy. It required a complete shift in how I approached creativity and self-care.

I needed to slow down, reconnect with my body, and honor my creative energy with intention. Once I gave myself permission to slow down, everything else started to take shape. This shift has helped me build a life centered around nourishment and self-expression, rather than the endless cycle of doing too much and feeling too little.

Sharing myself through writing has been so healing and unsurprisingly, cathartic. While I anticipated a release from these bottled-up experiences, [I find myself sharing a lot about my chronic illness, my energy lows, my neurodivergence and my favorite things] the realization that others are now witnesses to my past has made me realize I'm not quite ready to lay entirely bare just yet. But, slowly, I’m getting there. All thanks to your support.

NOTE: As a person with a mood-dependent body, my writing comes in waves. Some months I feel like sharing more often and other months I take breaks. However, if you would like to support this newsletter, messy consistency and all, consider a pledge, a like, or a share. ◡̈

A gentle invitation:

If you're seeking mindfulness tools, soft guidance, and a supportive community, I’d love for you to join me. Soon, I’ll be launching a Gentler Membership. A space designed to help creatives like you release overwhelm, rediscover joy in your work, and build a life rooted in ease and creativity.

Want to start before the membership launches? Book a 1:1 Session!

Thank you for reading, sharing, and staying a while. 

With so much gratitude,
