From Struggle to Strength
Today, I run multiple successful businesses, work with international tech companies, and manage a household with four kids. That same brain that made me feel like a failure in school? It’s now my superpower. My ability to hyper-focus, see unique connections, and think differently has become my greatest asset in business and leadership.

My Mission
After years of trial and error, I’ve discovered how to transform these challenges into advantages. Now, I help other neurodivergent women do the same. Through Femme on Fire, I create spaces where we celebrate our unique wiring and overcome obstacles together.

Your different way of thinking isn’t a weakness – it’s your ticket to extraordinary success. Let me show you how to embrace your neurodivergent mind and turn it into your greatest professional advantage.

I know what it’s like to:

• Feel paralyzed by tasks others find simple, analyse complex things in no time
• Get lost in fascinating topics for hours, but forget important meetings
• Struggle with time management and organization, yet can juggle 5 different hobbies
• Navigate the corporate world while masking your true self
• Turn your “scattered” thinking into innovation

After discovering how to harness my ADHD traits for success, I realized I couldn’t keep this knowledge to myself. Too many brilliant women are dimming their light, thinking they need to fit into a standardized mold. I’ve been there – masking my true self, feeling overwhelmed, and believing I wasn’t enough. Now I know better, and I’m passionate about helping other neurodivergent women unlock their full potential.

But individual transformation isn’t enough. Through The Irresistible Workplace, I partner with organizations to create environments where neurodivergent minds can flourish. Traditional workplace structures were designed for neurotypical brains, often overlooking the unique strengths that different thinking patterns bring to the table. I help companies adapt their cultures, systems, and practices to embrace cognitive diversity.

This dual mission – empowering individual women while transforming workplace cultures – creates lasting change. When neurodivergent women embrace their authentic selves and organizations learn to value different thinking styles, everyone wins. Companies gain innovative problem-solvers and creative thinkers, while talented women finally find spaces where they can thrive without masking.

I envision a future where neurodivergent women don’t just survive in the workplace – they lead it. Where your unique way of thinking isn’t something to hide but your greatest professional asset. Through Femme on Fire and The Irresistible Workplace, I’m committed to making this vision a reality, one woman and one organization at a time.
