In a recent blog, Neurodivergent Entrepreneur Mental Health & Wellness: A Perspective Piece, I wrote from personal experience about my mental health journey as a neurodivergent entrepreneur, hoping my experience would be relatable to others struggling with the unique challenges of doing business differently. I believe that knowing you’re not alone and receiving validation for your experience and perspectives goes a really long way. There are many strategies I have explored and adopted to support my mental health as a neurodivergent entrepreneur that I will share in this blog.
