More Freedom... More Impact... More Income!

We want you to build your business confidently and sustainably.

No burnout. No overwhelm. No exhaustion.

Our frameworks and mentors help guide you from startup to exit and every step in the middle.

Seriously... there's nothing else out there like us.

We're a combination of highly-specialized mentors on a mission to help improve the entrepreneurial experience for neurodivergent entrepreneurs. We don't wait until we've "made it" to have fun. Fun is necessary for us to succeed.

So what are you waiting for?

Trust your intuition and if your gut is saying "DO IT" and your bank account can support that decision without causing you financial hardship, then...

Just had a (paid) call with a new client — she’s level one of my avatar — and the call was so chaotic (to me anyway) and I felt like I really sucked (hello imposter syndrome), but then she said ‘oh my god where have you been all my life’ and was so excited to work together and said this was the most helpful thing she’s had in a while.

I was like whatttttt!? I’m writing this in my journal of wins!

Jade was struggling to balance client's needs with her own — after joining, she went through a BIG level-up with her mindset and her business.


I’m working on the Content Ecosystem Map we were talking about last night… it is SO much better for me to see it this way… at least right now.

I’m working with ChatGPT and it is actually fun work and gets me excited. Thanks so much for this… my brain gets it!!!!

Gwen was balancing a LOT in her life and day job while trying to launch her business and build a legacy for her family — and we were happy to help!


I’m celebrating a partnership with Doctors for Providers! We had a meeting today and it went amazingly well. Now we have a VERY lucrative partnership. My new partner will be adding me to their resource page, my services will be offered on every discovery call, and they will do a social media blast announcing our partnership.

What’s best of all is they don’t have anyone like me, no other marketing company 🎉The cherry on top… they work with franchises!

💗 This wouldn’t have been possible without the resources and guidance I got from the mentors at The Academy.

Yari was awesomely dedicated, but also a bit directionless. She knew what she wanted, but not how to get there. Now she's confidently negotiating partnerships with people that can put her in front of her ideal clients!
