See what we can do when we live unmasked. Together.
When you’re neurodivergent, finding your people can be hard.
And when you don’t know anyone else who’s wired like you are, you feel alone. Vulnerable. Misunderstood. Weird. Broken.
That pain is what drives you to build your mask and keep it on, no matter how heavy it is.
Or how much it might be holding you back.
But here’s the thing: Other people like you exist.
You just need to find them.
Finding your people is the first step to growing into your neurodivergence—and becoming the truthteller, sage, hearthkeeper, and architect you’ve always been.
That’s what Unmasked Life for Social Transformation aims to do.
Unmasked Life creates the circle of support you need.
In a small group of 6-8 neurodivergent people, you can learn from the stories of others like you, reflect on your own strengths and challenges, and envision what’s next for you.
The cohort includes:
Four monthly 90-minute group meetings
Four monthly 60-minute individual coachingsessions
An online learning hub where you can ask questions about neurodivergent life, build skills, and design structures to support you at you own pace
Unmasked Life is an intentionally low-demand space designed to help you grow.
There are no assignments, no reading lists, and no performative milestones.
Group meetings are times where we receive each other as we are. In the words of Parker Palmer: “No fixing, no saving, advising, no setting straight.”
The individual sessions allow you to work on your challenges without feeling pressured rushed.
The online portal is an interactive conversation partner that puts you in the driver’s seat of your learning and growth. No endless videos or modules to sit though.
Throughout, we take what we need. We leave what we don’t.
If you want to know what we’ll explore and how it might help you, here’s the path:
Month 1: Reorient
You’ll unpack the architecture of ADHD, autistic, and gifted adulthood.
You’ll begin to notice your mask and what it’s costing you.
And you’ll explore the four archetypes of mature neurodivergence: the truthteller, the sage, the hearthkeeper, and the architect.
Month 2: Recover
You’ll name the things that are exhausting you, from executive function fatigue and rejection sensitivity to demand avoidance and burnout.
You’ll learn to recognize your body’s survival signals.
And you’ll begin to process the loss you’ve experienced—and forgive.
Month 3: Retell
You’ll flip the script on learned helplessness by embracing your strengths and the intense interests that connect you to yourself and others.
You’ll reconnect with your core values to discover the change you want to make.
And you’ll develop a vision to integrate your work and life.
Month 4: Reclaim
You’ll step forward by cultivate the disciplines for designing a life worth living.
You’ll design supportive scaffolding that works with your daily rhythms.
And you’ll build your capacity for nonviolent communication to advocate for your needs and model safety for everyone around you.
This cohort works differently.
First, we’re releasing the pressure. Living a masked life comes with a lot of internalized rigidity. We can get used to pushing ourselves relentlessly—or give up when we feel overwhelmed. But the first rule here is that we take what we need and leave what we don’t. No pressure. No assignments. No deadlines. We just show up and follow the conversation.
Second, we’re releasing the guilt. When everyone is under so much pressure, investing in ourselves can take the back seat to everything else. Tending to our minds, bodies, and hearts isn’t a luxury or indulgence. When we do it well, we change our lives and the lives of everyone we touch.
Third, we’re getting you out of your head. A masked life is a life turned inward. We’re experts at intellectualizing our pain. We read more books, analyze more data, and spin more thoughts, all while our hearts and bodies remain trapped in survival mode. We want to help you move from knowing about our unique wiring to safely inhabiting it.
Fourth, we understand the financial pressures you and everyone else you know are feeling right now. As a result, the cost structure is on a sliding scale at three rates:
The Sponsor Rate ($1,800): For people with organizational funding or professional development budgets. This rate directly covers your placement and helps subsidize a peer in a grassroots space.
The Sustaining Rate ($1,200): For adults with stable incomes. This represents the true, balanced cost of the work.
The Solidarity Rate ($600): For underpaid community organizers, part-time changemakers, or people experiencing severe financial transition.
Fifth, we’re done with high-pressure marketing tactics. No artificial scarcity, no ticking clocks, and no aggressive follow-up campaigns.
If you need to sit with your cash flow or explore whether your organization might sponsor this, take all the time and space you need.
