The Core Business Wound
So many neurodivergent entrepreneurs carry a hidden wound into their business: the belief that we must earn our place through effort, performance, and proving. This post explores the seven survival patterns that grow from that wound; and how simply recognising them begins to change everything.
The Myth of Falling Behind
Most people think we overgive because we’re generous. But for so many neurodivergent, heart-led entrepreneurs, the truth is far heavier:
we overgive because we feel like we’re behind – in capacity, in timelines, in who we thought we “should” be by now.
We try to earn our place by offering more than we have.
It’s not strategy.
It’s martyrdom.
And it’s a trauma response dressed up as professionalism.
