In this episode for neuropreneurs, host Clare dives into a big, juicy question many neurodivergent entrepreneurs face: Should I mask in my business, or not?

Whether you're going to be navigating client meetings, social media, or the day-to-day hustle of running a business, Clare explores the complex layers of masking as someone with ASD or ADHD. She poses thoughtful questions to help you reflect on what authenticity and professionalism mean in your unique context, and what it might cost (or gain) to show up as your unmasked self.

Expect a mix of practical insights, philosophical musings, and a few of Clare’s beautifully chaotic personal rambles that remind you you're not alone on this journey.

Perfect for anyone who's ever wondered: Do I need to fit in to succeed, or is my difference my superpower?

Are you feeling stuck, unmotivated, or just plain over it in your business? You’re not alone, especially as a neurodiverse entrepreneur. In this episode, I dive deep into my own experiences and offer you 3 inspirational ways to re-motivate yourself and reignite the spark in YOUR own business journey.

From pivoting my old chocolate business into a more profitable (and far less stressful) space, to creatively diversifying my offerings to keep my brain bubbling with excitement, I’m opening up about what actually works when you're teetering on the edge of burnout or boredom.

We’ll explore:

• Ways to diversify your offering without losing your core vision
• Smart routes to market that work with your neurodiverse mind, not against it
• Possibilities of selling your knowledge and experience that you've gained in your field of expertise.

If your creativity needs a jumpstart or you’re craving more joy and alignment in your entrepreneurial life, this episode is for you.

In this episode, Clare continues to reflect on nearly 40 years of life in business as an autistic entrepreneur, sharing the hard-won truths, unexpected pivots, and deep self-discoveries that have shaped her journey.

Clare talks about two more transformative realisations:
✨ That finding the right fit is crucial when you’re neurodivergent. No more manic leaps into the next big thing just to crash out again.
✨ And that struggling with “employeeship” isn’t a personal failure. Some neurospicy minds are simply wired for entrepreneurship, where creative freedom, autonomy, and innovation shine.

If you’ve ever felt out of step with the traditional path or blamed yourself for needing something different, Clare’s story might be the mirror you didn’t know you needed. Clare offers advice for those experiencing these issues too, so that YOU can prevent yourself falling down the same neurospicy mineshafts!

In this heartfelt and insightful episode, (Part 1) Clare opens up about powerful lessons she’s learned over the past 40 years navigating life as an autistic entrepreneur.

Clare shares how she has battled relentless cycles of "shiny object" syndrome and the crushing weight of motivation dry-up with honesty and a dash of humour.

She reflects on how these challenges shaped her path and forced her to adapt and ultimately find the right path for her in her own entrepreneurial journey, in a way that’s both sustainable and self-compassionate.

Clare offers advice for those experiencing these issues too, so that YOU can prevent yourself falling down the same neurospicy mineshafts!

Whether you’re neurodivergent yourself or simply looking for real stories about resilience, creativity, and entrepreneurship, Clare’s wisdom will leave you feeling seen and inspired.

In today’s episode, I respond to a heartfelt letter from a listener whose manager is neglecting her regarding making reasonable adjustments for her ADHD, despite her legal right to them. She’s feeling unseen, unsupported, and ready to make a big change. She dreams of leaving her job to start a business creating candles and soaps, but isn't sure where to begin.

I share some honest advice, validation and a practical plan to help her step into entrepreneurship and become a Blooming Boss!

If you’ve ever felt stuck in a job that doesn’t work for your neurodivergent needs, this episode is a must-listen.
