Hiya, I'm Jo.
Late-diagnosed AuDHD, coach, educator, and someone who spent a very long time convinced the problem was me.
It wasn't. But it took decades to figure that out.
The honest version.
I grew up not knowing why things that seemed easy for other people cost me so much. Why I'd swing between hyperfocus and total shutdown. Why I'd ace some things and completely fall apart at others. Why I was exhausted in ways I couldn't explain and felt vaguely broken in ways I couldn't name.
I got good at compensating. Good enough to get by. Good enough that people didn't always notice how much it cost me.
And with it, that strange mix of relief and fury that anyone who's been late-diagnosed will recognise immediately. Relief because there was finally an explanation. Fury because where the fuck was this information thirty years ago?
I've been running my own business for over 15 years. Before I understood how my brain worked, I did it the hard way — following advice that wasn't written for people like me, pushing through when I should have rested, overcommitting and crashing.
I wasn't doing it wrong. I was doing neurotypical advice with a neurodivergent brain. That's not a personal failing. It's just a bad fit.
Once I started working with my brain instead of against it, things shifted. Not overnight, not perfectly, but genuinely. I want that for you too.
Jo saw me, got me, and reflected back to me the best of what I brought. It wasn't her putting her words on my work — it was her seeing me clearly, honouring what I was actually trying to say, and helping my real message come through.
Susie Stonefield-Miller Fine Artist and EducatorBrilliant, exhausted, and done with it.
Neurodivergent adults who are brilliant, exhausted, and quietly suspect they've been playing on the hardest difficulty setting their whole life. (They have.)
Some are building businesses and want to do it in a way that doesn't grind them into the ground. Some are navigating burnout, identity shifts, or trying to make everyday life feel less like swimming upstream. Some are still figuring out what they actually want, now that they finally have some language for how their brain works.
What they have in common: they're done trying to force themselves through systems that were never designed for them.And they're ready to stop fighting themselves.
Working with Jo, I never felt stuck. Whenever I hit a snag, she was there to say 'OK, let's work out what's going on here.' She approaches every situation in a very supportive and neurodivergent-friendly way. As an Autistic entrepreneur with ADHD I found this invaluable — and very rare.
Eli Trier Visual Artist and Community BuilderI'm not here to fix you.
I'm not going to tell you I'm the best coach out there. The RSD alone would never allow it.
What I will tell you is this: I've been where you are. I've spent years trying to build a life and a business using frameworks that quietly assumed I was someone else. I know what it feels like to finally stop fighting yourself. And I know how to help you get there.
I'm not here to fix you. You don't need fixing. I'm here to help you understand yourself well enough to build something that actually fits.If that sounds like what you need, you're in the right place.
