If you’ve ever felt like you had to perform, hide your truth, or water yourself down just to survive— Take a deep breath.

You’re not broken. You’re becoming.

And here, your alchemy is celebrated.

MEET THE FOUNDER & CEO

Hey, I'm Cheryl (They/Them)

I'm an autistic, multi-certified, queer them with two degrees, several micro-credentials, and a lifetime of unmasking.

I’m also a recovering perfectionist, serial self-learner, and someone who has survived (and now thrives) beyond generational trauma, burnout, and the systems that weren’t built for people like us.

I built this work because I couldn’t find the support I needed—so I created it. Now I help other neurodivergent entrepreneurs do the same: reclaim their energy, unlearn shame, and create sustainable systems of success.

What I Stand For.

Radical self-compassion over hustle culture

Accessible, inclusive support over rigid coaching models

Creative sovereignty over productivity for productivity’s sake

Creative sovereignty over productivity for productivity’s sake

What We Don't Do Around Here:

  • Toxic hustle disguised as “high performance”

    We're not here for burnout culture or pretending exhaustion is a badge of honor.

  • Motivation rooted in shame

    You won’t find any “not good enough” energy here. We build from self-trust, not self-criticism.

  • Trying to fit people into a “normal” box

    You’re not too much or too weird — you’re just right. Neurodivergence, queerness, creativity, and complexity are welcome here.

Before my coaching journey with Cheryl, I was lost in a maze of unsorted thoughts and feelings, struggling to focus or find clarity in my life. Dealing with trauma and its repercussions felt like navigating through an endless storm. Cheryl's guidance was a beacon of light in that chaos.

Their approach, though uncompromising and direct, empowered me to confront my issues head-on. They equipped me with practical techniques tailored to my daily struggles, fostering resilience and self-awareness.

I've learned that healing isn't about being "fixed"—it's about growing stronger and more capable of facing life's challenges. Thanks to Cheryl, I now possess the tools to tackle each day with confidence. I am immensely thankful for their support and the transformative journey they guided me through. - Mandi she/her Canada

Cheryl has been amazing in helping me tap into my own energy and really get the most out of our sessions.

What's really cool about them is how they make everything super inclusive and easy to get into. They've gone out of their way to make sure everything we do fits what I can do and where I'm at, creating this super welcoming vibe that makes it easy to just be myself and open up.

They've got this knack for making you feel seen and heard. No matter what we're working on, I never feel judged or out of place. Cheryl's makes sure you're comfortable and uses strategies that are actually doable for me. It's been a game-changer, honestly. Having their support and knowing they're always there to guide me, but in a way that feels more like a partnership, has been huge for my personal growth. I'm really thankful for how they've helped me and made this journey so much more manageable and meaningful. - Erin they/she Canada
