Who Are My Clients?

I like to work with literally anyone who is looking to expand their leadership in & about their own lives.
That said, there are some folks I’m very keen to connect with.

Neurodivergent

I am autistic. I have ADHD. The kids call that AuDHD these days. I aim for a neuroaffirmative approach to clients meaning that I aim to be accepting and directly supportive of neurodivergent experiences.

I am neurodivergent, I am a parent to neurodivergent twins, and I don’t think I’ve ever had a partner who wasn’t neurodivergent.

Thoughtful connection, acceptance, and working with clients to create neuroaffirming plans, tactics, and strategies matter to me immensely.

If you are neurodivergent, I aim to be here for you.

Queer

Being out as queer is a new-to-me identity and it’s very important to me. In 2024, it really landed for me that the acceptance of queerness is vital to a productive, progressive, equitable future for everyone. If power structures are not able to accept 2SLGBTQIA+ folks, we aren’t truly free. Queering gender, sexuality, and relationships are all natural ways of being and if those are rejected, were aren’t free.

There are a number of intersectional ways of being human that need to be accepted along with queerness and I am supportive of all of them. I am not a visible minority and remain open and vigilant to ensure that my own world is anti-racist and challenging white supremacy culture as much as possible.

I am not cis-gender and have known that as far back as I can remember. In summer 2024. I started hormone replacement therapy and it has been a dream. I don’t know where it’s going, but I feel closer to my own vision of me than I ever imagined I could be. It’s not about pursuit of a different gender – it’s about an internal peace that hasn’t been achieved any other way.

I am extremely motivated to support the queer community.

Men

Like cis men? After all of this talk about being trans and queer?

Men get sold a lot of bullshit. I did. There are billions of men in the world and there is absolutely no one way to be a man. Men are sold the idea of the masculine, the idea of being strong, the idea of providing. Those things are not required to live a full life.

A second pile of crap men are sold is that men should be open and vulnerable. I suspect loved ones and well-meaning folks are genuine in inviting this, but the truth is that our communities are rarely ready for men to be open. Openness requires vulnerability, trust, and space to get messy. Men aren’t often afforded that.

I don’t offer ”polarity”‘ coaching that focuses on how “men do x and women do y.” What I offer is supporting you in discovering your path to your own sense of masculinity and manhood.

Non-Monogamous

Non-monogamy is as important to my identity as my queerness and neurodivergence.

Non-monogamy is, at its core, a commitment to myself that I will embrace and participate in crafting every relationship so that it supports the growth and wellbeing of everyone involved.

This flies in the face of many established norms including the nuclear family, coupledom, finding “the one,” and our internalized misogyny to name a few.

Whether you are new to your non-monogamous journey or well on your way, I am happy to support what’s next for you inside of it.

Parents

Parenting is the joy of my life and my agenda is for other parents, step-parents, and mentors for young people to feel similarly.

By tapping into our leadership, we can bring our best selves, instead of our survival selves, for the young people who need that now. We all need our best selves in the world and young folks deserve to learn what that’s about – especially at these times.
