THE NEURODIVERGENT BIRTHWORKER MASTERMIND
A 6-month small-group space for ND doulas + birthworkers who want a business that works with their brain — not against it.
As a member, you gain access to a thoughtfully curated collection of sessions, tools, and shared spaces designed to support you as a neurodivergent birthworker. Everything here is meant to reduce overwhelm, support your nervous system, and help you build a business that works with your brain — at your own pace.

HOW IT WORKS?Each month includes three core pieces of support:
1. Monthly Guest Session
Once a month, you’ll join a live guest-led session focused on that month’s theme. These conversations offer insight, perspective, and practical guidance tailored to neurodivergent birthworkers.
2. The Workroom (Weekly Support + Co-Working)
Each week, you’re invited into The Workroom — a flexible, supportive space to work through real-time challenges, think things through as a group, or quietly body-double while you get things done. Participation is optional and can look like asking questions, listening, chatting, or simply working alongside others.
3. Monthly Tools + Resources
Every month, you’ll receive practical tools designed to help you build business systems that actually work for your brain — supporting clarity, follow-through, and sustainability.

WHAT YOU’LL LEARN
You’ll learn how executive functioning, sensory needs, and communication styles show up in your work life — and why certain business advice has never worked for you.
This gives you language, self-trust, and relief instead of self-blame.
How Your Brain Actually Interacts With Business
You’ll learn how to create simple, flexible systems for admin, marketing, and client care that match your energy and attention — not an idealized version of you.
The focus is on “good enough and sustainable,” not perfect or rigid.
How to Build Systems That Don’t Fall Apart
You’ll learn ways to approach visibility, boundaries, and communication that don’t require masking, over-explaining, or constant output.
This helps you stay present in your business without sacrificing your nervous system.
How to Show Up Without Burning Out
You’ll learn how to make decisions around pricing, offers, and growth without panic, urgency, or all-or-nothing thinking.
The goal is steady momentum that fits real life — not boom-and-bust cycles.
How to Grow in a Way That Feels Possible
MASTERMIND MONTHLY THEMES
-
Identifying ND patterns (ADHD, autism, PDA, anxiety), understanding burnout cycles, demand avoidance, masking, and nervous system safety in business
-
Designing workload, schedules, and boundaries around fluctuating capacity, chronic overwhelm, and recovery time
-
Untangling guilt, undercharging, money avoidance, feast-or-famine income, and ND-specific money trauma
-
Building services that are clear, bounded, repeatable, and don’t rely on over-giving or emotional labor
-
Showing up without masking, content systems that reduce decision fatigue, attracting aligned clients
-
Navigating hard clients, rupture/repair, emotional labor, exit strategies, and deciding what stays and what goes in your business
-
This is designed to be low-demand and sustainable.
You’ll have optional live touchpoints and a monthly focus, but no required homework and no expectation that you engage at the same level every week. -
This space is designed for brains that work differently. Neurodivergence doesn’t require a formal diagnosis — if the language, approach, and values resonate with you, you’re welcome here.
-
Both are welcome.
The group will include people at different stages, and the support is tailored to where you are right now — not where you “should” be. -
No.
You’re welcome to participate by listening, typing in the chat, or engaging quietly — there’s no pressure to perform or share before you’re ready.
-
No.
This is for doulas, birthworkers, lactation professionals, childbirth educators, and other perinatal support workers who run or are building a practice.
