If you’ve ever felt disconnected from money – guilty for wanting it, anxious about managing it, or unsure how to charge your worth – you’re not alone.

For neurodivergent entrepreneurs, our relationship with money is often shaped by far more than mindset. It's shaped by lived experience, systemic barriers, internalised shame and the ways we’ve had to survive in a world not designed for our brains.

And yet, so much mainstream entrepreneurship advice skips straight to “think positive” or “just manifest abundance”, without acknowledging the real trauma, social conditioning, or nervous system responses many of us carry.

This workshop is a space to slow down, unmask, and gently rewire your money story. One that honours where you’ve been - and helps you step into what’s possible.

We’ll explore how trauma, rejection sensitivity and inherited beliefs (from family, religion, or society) shape our financial behaviours and how to build a sense of safety, alignment and self-trust around money. Even when parts of us feel scared or undeserving, we can shift toward a more empowered relationship with money without bypassing what’s true.

In this 90-minute session, you’ll discover:

• How trauma and neurodivergence affect your financial nervous system
• Why mindset work alone often falls short, and how to work with your whole self
• The hidden influence of guilt, shame and internalised stories on money habits
• Somatic and self-compassion tools to build safety, clarity and choice
• Empowering steps to begin rewriting your money story in a way that feels truly yours

This is for neurodivergent entrepreneurs who want to feel more grounded, confident, and aligned with money – on your terms.
