Since my announcement livestream didn't exactly go to plan due to technical issues, I thought I'd shout it from the theoretical and literal rooftops on all my socials...

I'M WRITING A BOOK!

Part of the reason for my absence from YouTube (I like to think I'm being mysterious) is that I have been working on a book proposal with Jessica Kingsley Publishers (part of Hachette) and since it's now official I can tell you a little more.

Currently deep in the research phase, I will be exploring how neurodivergent people experience trauma, from what we know about brain differences compared with the neurotypical population, to the efficacy of so-called "gold standard" trauma treatments, to the societal influences that affect our increased likelihood for developing trauma in the first place.

I want it to be a book that shows just how widespread the issue of trauma is for neurodivergent populations, that will help ND individuals with trauma better understand themselves, and shine a light on under researched intersections (to be honest, they all are).

Let me know in the comments what you NEED to see included in this book! And of course, any recommendations for experts who I should interview.

Calling all autistic, AuDHD or ADHD business owners, professionals and creatives looking to spend a relaxing and rejuvenating 3 days with me in nature, while we discuss strategies to balance work and life, avoid burnout, connect and network with other Spicy Business Brains.

After dreaming about organising a retreat for several years, the Wild Brains Retreat is finally here! I will be hosting this unique event from 29th - 31st July at Yugen Forest, about an hour outside of Amsterdam, in the Netherlands.

Imagine waking up with the birdsong in your own super comfy glamping tent, having all your meals and snacks provided, and being treated to workshops and activities surrounded by like minded people who “get” it.

This retreat is for you if:

- You feel overwhelmed by the busy-ness of everyday and want or need a mental reset
- You want to connect with other neurodivergent business owners and professionals - without sitting in a stuffy conference room where you feel like an outsider
- You want to learn how to manage your neurodivergent traits to design a more sustainable working life - and avoid the repeated cycle of burnouts.
- You find nature restorative more than stressful!


Are you ready to de-stress, empower yourself and level up for the second half of 2024?


Join the waitlist to get more information very soon!

Just finished recording the interview for my next podcast episode - with ‪@Bianca_Toeps‬ , author of "But you don't look autistic at all" and the recently released "This Autistic Girl Went to Japan (and you won’t believe what happened next)".

We talked about our experiences as foreigners living abroad from our home countries, social experiences in Japan versus the Netherlands, and language and communication difficulties.

Look out for it in the next couple of weeks!

My latest video about what I went through to develop a fitness routine postpartum, after trauma, postpartum depression and anxiety, as an AuDHDer mum with (probably) two neurodivergent kids and an ADHDer husband.

If that sounds like a lot, it was!
