Find Your Tribe

Bringing together adults who experience the world in a uniquely wonderful way. Hello! Those who have all the ideas; but implementing them is overwhelming.
(1)

A welcoming community to connect, share experiences, support one another and embrace all your neuro-quirks. I’m Sarah and I’m on a mission to build my tribe of weird and wonderful people. I set up ‘Find Your Tribe’ to connect with others who are facing similar neurodiversity barriers to me. It is a space to just be, with zero expectations or judgements. Find Your Tribe brings together people who e

xperience the world in a uniquely wonderful way... regardless of diagnosis. It provides understanding and support alongside practical guidance. It is about finding a way to tackle the world and seemingly endless to-do lists in a way that works for each individual. Find your Tribe is a welcoming community for individuals to connect, share experiences, support one another and embrace all their neuro-quirks.

An office… but not really an office.

It’s more like a sitting room, sofas, blankets, lamps, and a sense of calm.

Let’s be honest socialising can be overwhelming. The noise, the lights, the constant pressure of unwritten social etiquette and societal expectations. Have I said too much? Does my face look like I’m listening? Am I being rude? These are all things I consciously think about in every conversation, and it’s exhausting.

My not-an-office office is different. You can rock up in your pyjamas or a three-piece suit. You can sit with your headphones on and still feel part of the group. You can know that your seat will always be your seat if you need it.

This is what Find Your Tribe is about, building a space where unmasking feels safe, belonging feels natural, and connection comes without judgment.

And while my bigger dream is to grow this into a community hub in Teignmouth, what we have now is already something magical. It doesn’t need to look like anywhere else. It just needs to feel like home.

Find Your Tribe was built out of need.

When I finally let myself believe that I was running a business (four years in!) and not just “doing bits here and there,” I started signing up for courses and workshops, leaving with pages of notes and buzzing with motivation.

But then I’d sit back at my desk, open my laptop… and reality hit. Emails waiting. Invoices overdue. Self-assessments untouched.

The energy I’d felt in that room didn’t translate into action. I didn’t have the headspace to implement all the brilliant things I’d written down.

That’s when I realised it wasn’t just me. Others were leaving those same workshops feeling the same mix of excitement and overwhelm. So I decided to create what I needed - a way to turn that spark into action.

That’s how Co-Working Done Differently began. A space to bring your overwhelming list for me to unscramble. A space with enough structure and accountability to make progress, while also offering a calm, welcoming environment. Think blankets, lamps, headphones, quiet corners, fans… whatever helps.

It worked so well that one of my very first Tribe members started a “Sarah list.” A list of overwhelming, boring, avoided tasks that she’d bring to me, knowing we’d make them manageable.

What started as a personal lifeline has become a community. A place where we hold space for one another, break down the chaos, and actually get things done.

Find Your Tribe was never designed on paper. It grew out of lived experience. And it continues to evolve, shaped by the people who show up, share their stories, and remind me daily that we’re all better when we don’t have to do this alone.

“Go to networking events,” they said.
“It will be fun,” they said.
And then they said, “Networking is essential if you want your business to succeed.”

That terrified me.

Walk into a room you’ve never seen before, full of people you’ve never met before, seamlessly jump from one conversation to the next, and follow a completely different set of social rules… How on earth was I ever going to make my business succeed if that was the expectation?!

Spoiler: it’s not the only way. Yes, it’s one way, but it’s not the only way.

My strengths don’t lie in navigating a noisy room with people buzzing around like bees. That’s sensory overload, not opportunity. Either I mask my way through it and leave feeling exhausted, or I unmask and look like a rabbit in headlights with zero confidence in my business.

Realising that traditional networking wasn’t the be-all and end-all of success was such a relief. Realising that I had the power to advocate for myself and make networking accessible to me? That was a game-changer.

My business is built on real, genuine connection. The kind that happens when people feel safe enough to be themselves, when they can share openly without judgement, and when support runs both ways.

I’m on a mission not only to host events, networking or otherwise, that are accessible to the neurodivergent community, but also to educate and empower others to do the same.

This isn’t just a business I built. It’s the world I wish had existed for me.

I’ve always been conscientious - working hard, staying motivated, putting the hours in. But while I didn’t mind that everything felt like a struggle, it was exhausting. Wading through treacle every day took its toll, and slowly chipped away at my confidence.

My determination never failed me, even in the darkest moments. I lacked was that inner voice that says, “you’ve got this, you know what you’re doing, you are amazing.”

What I did have though, were people who believed in me. They carried me through until I found my own confidence. And that's what I've promised I'll do for others.

That’s why I built Find Your Tribe. Not as a shiny new business idea, but as the supportive community I still need today. A space where we can unmask, be honest, and feel both seen and heard.

Brain Unscrambling... a simple idea that quickly became one of my favourite services.

One of the biggest barriers I’ve seen again and again, both in myself and in others, is the dreaded overwhelming, chaotic to-do list. The one that lingers in the back of your mind, using up much-needed brain space and making it impossible to know where to start.

What I hadn’t realised until recently is that I’m really good at unscrambling that chaos. Restructuring jumbled thoughts and scattered ideas into something clear and manageable is something I’ve been doing for years - without even noticing.

That discovery became Brain Unscrambling. Ten minutes. One conversation. And suddenly the impossible feels possible.

Karen said:
“In 10 minutes I was able to tell Sarah what was going on in my brain… she literally took 30 seconds, unscrambled it and came back at me… What followed was the most productive afternoon I’d had in weeks, maybe even months!”

To know something so small can have such a big impact is incredibly humbling. It’s a reminder that our strengths, the things that come naturally to us, can be life-changing for someone else.

My labels don’t define me, but they do make me who I am.

A formal diagnosis isn’t the right path for everyone. But for me, it was like a hundred little pieces suddenly falling into place at the same time.

For years I lived in a permanent state of confusion. I assumed everyone else’s brain worked like mine… I mean, why wouldn’t I?! Yet people always seemed to respond differently to me, and I could never understand why. I questioned myself constantly. Was I too much? Too quiet? Too intense? Too sensitive?

My Autism ADHD diagnosis brought clarity, but it also turned my world upside down. Things I’d labelled as personal failings… turns out they had names! I wasn’t “just being awkward” - my brain is actually wired differently.

That hit me with both a sense of relief and a sense of grief. Relief, because things finally made sense. Grief, because I couldn’t help but wonder what life might have looked like if I’d known just a little bit earlier.

This is why Find Your Tribe isn’t just about the events, or the workshops, or the groups. It’s about having a safe space. A space where you don’t need to explain yourself. Where you can sit in that mix of relief and grief and still feel understood. Where you don’t have to carry it all on your own.

Heather is the life and soul of InvisAble InkEd - Specialist Tuition and Education Support. The work she does for PDA young people in our local area is amazing, but like many solopreneurs, Heather was finding herself overwhelmed spinning all the different plates.

As a mum of neurodivergent children, as well a business owner, Heather’s time is valuable and finite. So finding a way to fit all the necessities into her week, while not heading into burnout was vital.

We started with a brain dump, tell me everything you do, everything that is squeezed into your week, the business, the driving, the kids. As we began chatting, I picked out which parts were taking up the most brain space and used that to guide the session.

Together Heather and I have sorted her:
💙Weekly timetable
💙Package options for new clients
💙Plan for the next stage of Invisible Inked

We've discussed:
💛Where she wants the business to go in the future
💛Setting personal and business boundaries
💛Balancing prices to remain affordable, while making a profit

Moving forward, Heather now has:
💚A short, manageable task list for the upcoming week
💚Blocked out times for admin
💚Specific spaces for new clients

This is why I do what I do.
I have the ability to clear a muddled brain, and make the day-to-day feel just a little bit less daunting.

Heather left feeling calmer and clearer, and she now has the headspace to do what she's really good at.... teaching!

I knew I was going to be a teacher from a very young age. I’d never considered anything else, and any time an adult tried to talk to me about alternative options, I’d shut the conversation down.

School, A-Levels, university, Maths teacher. I had it all worked out. By the age of 20, I was in the classroom, and I thought that was me done, all the boxes ticked.

But life had other ideas.

In 2020, I left the school environment and began my tutoring business. At the time, I thought it was just a side step, a different way of doing the same role. What I didn’t realise was that it was actually an enormous step toward the business I was meant to have.

Let’s be honest, February 2020 was not the best time to start a business. I hit lockdown with no employer to furlough me, and no income support from a well-established business either. But a maths tutoring business in lockdown? Not such a bad idea. (Although I'd like to point out, the idea came first!)

As I’d always done in schools, my teaching came hand-in-hand with mentoring. You categorically cannot teach someone who isn’t in the right headspace. It took me a while though to realise I could offer mentoring as a service in its own right, not just an unofficial add-on.

What began as just tutoring grew into tutoring and mentoring. And once I’d started adding strings to my bow, ADHD Sarah was off! Focus Friday came next (which has since evolved into Co-Working Done Differently), then Find Your Tribe, and most recently, business mentoring.

Never in a million years did I think I’d be doing anything other than teaching maths. But now that I’m here, there’s no looking back.

Infinite Ability wasn’t built from a business plan. It grew from a series of little shifts, each one taking me one step closer to the business I was meant to lead.

Last Sunday I had the absolute pleasure of helping Lucy look into the nitty-gritty of her business. Getting to know Lucy’s business as a customer over the last few years has been wonderful.

Lucy is a fabulous massage therapist who oozes calm, but the admin size of running a business was getting overwhelming. That’s where I come in!

We sat on the floor and surrounded ourselves with paperwork. Autistic Sarah was in her element!!!

Together Lucy and I have sorted her:
💙Tracking system
💙Getting the dreaded admin tasks completed
💙Business bank account

We've discussed:
💛How to expand her business in the most profitable way
💛Core personal and business values
💛Fighting imposter syndrome

Moving forward, Lucy now has:
💚Accountability
💚A sounding board
💚A physical space to admin out of the house

This is why I do what I do.

I have the ability to clear a muddled brain, and make the day-to-day feel just a little bit less daunting.

Lucy has left feeling calmer and clearer, and she now has the headspace to do what she's really good at.... Botanica Holistic Massage Therapy

The magic of the to-do-list diary!

🤔 Send invoices? Or brain storm new ideas?
🤔Reply to emails? Or re-organise my draws?
🤔Update social media? Or do a Facebook live?

All these things need to happen to keep my business thriving. Some have external time constraints and some don't. Equally, some are fun and some less so!

ADHD brains have lower-than-average levels of dopamine (a neurotransmitter that regulates the body’s pleasure and reward systems). That means that the little ADHD Sarah inside my head is always looking for the next dopamine hit while Autistic Sarah is getting increasingly overwhelmed by the lack of finished tasks 🤯

I'm not exaggerating when I say using a diary specifically for to-do lists has been life changing!

All the essentials are put into my diary MONTHS in advance... every invoicing date, subscription renewal, tax deadline... as soon as I've got a date it goes in.

But here's the magic part... they don't go on the real date (much to Autistic Sarah's upset!)

Everything is in early to help out ADHD Sarah, and nothing goes in on a Monday or Wednesday because they're busy work days and we don't need Autistic Sarah getting overwhelmed.

Does anyone else have different diaries for different things?
