For Neurodivergent Entrepreneurs (HSPs, Learning Disabilities, Processing Deficits, ADHD)
This section will provide tools, tech, information and support for those who do things differently. I have resources here for learning disabilities and ADHD, as we are here living differently as employees and entrepreneurs. Let’s continue to find our way🌻

Business planning

Kersten Martin is a beautiful soul, a Squarespace educator and has created one of the best paper planners I’ve ever used as a solo entrepreneur.

Erasable Pens & Highlighters
Perfect for Disgraphia. When your handwriting is terrible, finding “your” pen is essential. Over the years, I’ve tried many, and currently, these are my faves!
Frixion Pens are Perfect for those of us with dyslexia or dysgraphia. ERASABLE pens and markers. Perfect for a dyslexic with the world’s worst handwriting! I could not love these more. A good pen is worth its weight in gold, and one I can erase -even better! Perfect for planners, being as creative and colourful as you like -while still being able to erase things if life changes, which it does! Or if you make a royal illegible mess of something ;-).
Paper Planners
Tools that help me remember, organize, and understand information are essential for my happiness and productivity. Over the years, I’ve used and researched many paper planners and agendas.
Organization & personal development
These planners help you with your whole life -mind/body/spirit. You can find some of my favourites here.
