Build the neurospicy creative life of your dreams!
Right now, you might be stuck, convinced that a life where you’re peaceful, regulated, and creating tons, is not on the cards for you. But I got news for you: IT IS.
You can’t even begin to imagine how good it feels on the other side. It’s not about having it all.
It’s about building a life that works for YOU.
Does any of this sound familiar? 👀
You’re autistic, ADHD or AuDhd, whether you self-identify, got the elusive official diagnosis or late-diagnosis.
After years of struggling to fit in, your entire life finally makes sense. But the more you unmask, the less your life fits you. You’ve always known it wasn’t right on some level, but now it’s un-fucking-deniable. And you’re ready to burn it all down. Metaphorically, that is.
You have a busy brain and big feelings, and people keep telling you to stop overthinking, or making a big deal out everything. But it’s like asking you to stop breathing. You can’t. And increasingly, you don’t want to, either.
You’re a creative, a storyteller, writer or a poet. When you were young, you used to create like it was the easiest thing in the world. These days, you can’t get a creative routine going again to save your life. You miss that part of yourself so much. And you also hate how that feels.
You know there’s a better life for you out there. Maybe you’ve been thinking about it for a while. But there are hundreds of possibilities, which is scary, overwhelming, and, frankly, confusing. You don’t know where to start. Applying for jobs fills you with dread, and staying where you are almost feels safer. But it’s also killing you, slowly. The problem is, after years of living a life that never felt like you, you have no idea how to trust your instincts enough to make a start on making a change.
… and is this the future you want?
You’ve let go of the life that no longer fit you, and you are building something new and different that looks and feels you now, not the person you were trying to be but weren’t. You’ve written a new story for yourself. It might not be what you expected, but it also feels better than you could have imagined.
Yes, you still think and feel deeply. But now you know with certainty that your thoughts and feelings hold the answers to your own needs and your instincts. They’re a portal to yourself. With curiosity, time and patience, you have rebuilt a relationship with the parts of you that are wise and knowing. And you know that you will always know how to listen to yourself so you can find your own way back.
Your inner artist is your new best friend. It’s not like you’re suddenly a creativity productivity monster - that’s not the point. The point is you know how to nurture yourself, how to find your creative flow, and how to trust your voice and your instincts so you can write or create whatever the fuck you want, regardless of what you do with it, and what anyone else thinks of it.
Maybe you’ve moved on from the demanding job that sucked the life out of you. Maybe you’ve got the right accommodations in your existing job. Maybe you’ve made the leap to freelance life. However you’re paying the bills, it still involves some compromises. But you’re no longer compromising on the things that really matter to you, and the things that you really need to feel good as a neurospicy, autistic, ADHD or AuDHD human.
Here’s where to start:
I run a free monthly creative workshop for my Big Feelings newsletter community, exploring different emotions and how they play into your creative or writing practice and your life as a neurodivergent person - diagnosed or not!
A gentle two-week creative course to help you uncover the story you’ve been telling yourself about your life, so you can start to shift your perspective, imagine another future, and start to build it, too.
Still not sure where to start?
Let me guide you through the options & find the right support for you, right now:
Hi, I’m Laurie (she/her)
I’m a narrative coach for neurodivergent creatives, writers and storytellers based in the UK 💕
I’m AuDHD (officially diagnosed autism, self-diagnosed ADHD!), a writer and poet. I’m also queer, and I live much of my life outside the margins of how society defines “normal”.
Prior to becoming a coach for neurodivergent creatives, writers and storytellers, I spent 15 years working as a scripted TV producer, supporting writers to tell stories and shape narratives in the most authentic way. Then my autism late-diagnosis changed everything, and I threw my life away and started over.
Now I do for neurodivergent folks, their lives and creativity, what I used to do for projects and scripts:
I help autistic peeps, ADHD-ers and AuDHD-ers shape their life into a narrative that works for them, where they finally stop seeing their busy brains and big feelings as an inconvenience in the way of a better life, but as the portal to their needs, and to building an authentic life that works for them.
I spent 15 years working in TV, fixing stories. Now I help neurodivergent creatives like me to find their own way, and rewrite the story they’re stuck in.
The heart of my work as a narrative coach for neurodivergent creatives:
I don’t believe there’s a right or wrong way of doing life. But to be honest, most neurospicy peeps tend to thrive outside cookie-cutter societal norms where you can embrace the way your brains work and set the tone for your own lifes, whether you’re autistic, ADHD, AuDHD — official diagnosis or not.
I also know that learning to trust your instincts as a neurodivergent person can be a real ride. How the fuck do you find your way when you’ve spent literal decades pretending to be someone you’re not, draining your batteries like an off-brand duracell bunny?
We have busy brains and big feelings, and for most of our lives, people have told us to stop overthinking and making a big deal out of everything. Not only is this rude and impossible - it’s like asking someone to stop breathing! - but it’s taught us that our thoughts are a hurdle to overcome, and our emotions are something to reject. And sure, sometimes, we get in our own way, and we get overwhelmed.
But also: the way we think and feel is huge part of who we are, and it holds most of the answers to our own needs, desires, and our instincts.
As a coach for neurodivergent creatives, writers and storytellers, my workshops, courses and 1:1 coaching programme allow you to tap into your creativity to help you reconnect with yourself, your intuition, and your voice, so that you can meet the version of you that knows exactly what you want, what you need, and how to get there. So you can think and feel deeply and still get to where you want to go.
All of us neurodivergent folks need wildly different things to be happy and thriving, but that’s only possible when you let go of the story you’ve created in your head about what your life should like look like (a.k.a. what neurotypicals have engrained in you about what ‘success’ or ‘real life’ is meant to look like), and embrace the life you actually need.
As your fellow neurospicy AuDHD writer, poet and big feelings wielder who threw her “normal” into the bin in 2025 and has not looked back for even a second since, I am all about zero judgment, 100% genuine vibes, and minimal masking with a sprinkle of chaos. I am the proof that your best life doesn’t have to be normal - or perfect.
All the spaces I run are gentle, nurturing, non-judgemental, and unapologetically neurodivergent-affirming and inclusive.
Client Testimonials:
“Laurie created an incredibly safe environment to be vulnerable.
She was able to make space for the personal, emotional neurodivergent elements that were blocking me, whilst also keeping me on track towards practical solutions. She helped me see how to navigate necessary tasks in my own way, rather than be in a battle with them.
I truly wouldn't have gotten over the hurdles I was facing without Laurie's support.
Allowing her to see my stuckness, and then to be held with such care and support, not only helped me in this particular quest, but also helped melt away a little of a lifetime of failure shame.”
- Abi, 1:1 coaching client
“I'd tried to get through my creative blocks on my own and was struggling. By the end of the course I felt gentler with myself and my creativity, and less intimidated by any challenges that would come up. I had a greater acceptance that by doing this course, I wasn't eliminating challenges from the creative process, but bolstering my ability to see them for what they are and face them with compassion and sardonic whimsy.
The course showed me how much my creativity is wrapped up in who I am - so much so that I might share something that feels average but it sizzles for someone else. I felt like I needed to work hard or try hard to produce something worthwhile but learned that striving isn't really required because there are so many channels through which creativity flows, especially when our emotions are activated and not suppressed. There's still so much more to discover so I'm glad to have my notes from the course and the resources to look at.”
