Have you ever felt like your brain was a browser with 37 tabs open… and you forgot which one started playing music? You want to change the song, but you’re juggling competing demands, and your thoughts feel so tangled that you don’t even know how to move forward.

As I write this blog, I’m sitting at my computer in a very real moment of exhaustion. My thoughts feel cluttered, and my body is craving sleep. With an autistic brain and layered responsibilities as a mother, therapist, and business owner, accessing mental clarity can feel especially demanding.

There’s no such thing as normal.

At least, not in the way we’ve been taught to believe. The myth of the "neurotypical" standard—one correct way to communicate, collaborate, or contribute—is exactly that: a myth. And in business, this myth can quietly exclude or mislabel people who process and interact with the world differently.

What I’ve come to understand is that systems aren’t just about productivity—they’re about capacity. When built with intention, they don’t just help you get more done. They help you feel more held.

Working with Mackenzie has shown me that systems can acheive more than efficiency.

In this blog, I answer four questions to help you understand why I am positioned well to help both neurodivergent and neurotypical business owners using a unique combination of business coaching and therapy.
