Unmask & Connect
A group for autistic and AuDHD women
who want to feel less alone
If you:
✔️ Feel alone even when you're surrounded by other people
✔️ Replay conversations in your head over and over, trying to figure out what you might have said wrong
✔️ Are exhausted from trying to "get it right" all the time
✔️ Worry that you're "too much"
✔️ Mask so much that you're not even sure who you are without your mask
✔️ Feel like you can either be yourself or be liked – but not both
Then there's something you should know...
-----------------------------
There's nothing wrong with you.
You just haven't been in a space that's designed for the way your brain and nervous system actually work.
-----------------------------
You're invited:
Be understood, valued, and heard
Unmask & Connect is a small, structured group for autistic and AuDHD women with guided conversations where you can:
✨ Show up exactly as you are
✨ Trust that you don't have to perform "neurotypical"
✨ Speak without being interrupted or talked over
✨ Experience what it's like when people hold space for you
It might be the first time you've ever connected in such a genuine way with other autistic and AuDHD women.
That's often the case.
It's powerful.
Community is transformational.
-----------------------------
Over time, something shifts
Gradually, the way you relate to yourself and to other people will change.
Because you're respected and accepted for being you.
You're not competing for space. You're not censoring yourself. You're not managing other people's reactions.
You're heard. You're valued. You're understood.
And over time, that makes a difference.
By the end of the 10-week experience, you might notice that you:
🌱 Hear your own thoughts more clearly
🌱 Understand your patterns with new insights
🌱 Feel more comfortable communicating on your own terms
🌱 Trust yourself a little more every week
🌱 Feel less alone
-----------------------------
You’re not "too much" –
you belong here.
-----------------------------
Where autistic and AuDHD women connect
🔎 “I’m truly understanding now what it means to feel like I’m not alone.”
🔎 “I feel so comfortable here.”
🔎 “Hearing other women put words to experiences I’ve never been able to explain has been incredibly powerful.”
🔎 “It helps me make sense of a lot of things I’ve been working through.”
-----------------------------
Intentionally designed to support your needs
Our group is structured for autistic and AuDHD brains and nervous systems:
🌱 Weekly topics and questions are shared ahead of time, so you know what to expect
🌱 There's time built in for nervous system regulation
🌱 Group size is capped at 6, so you don't have to compete for time to speak
🌱 Silence is welcome, so you have time to process what you hear
🌱 Cameras are optional, and live captioning is available
You are welcome here whether you self-identify as autistic or AuDHD or have a formal diagnosis.
-----------------------------
Feel supported and empowered
You will be in a space that's intentionally designed to empower you to show up more fully as yourself.
In each session you'll find:
-
a structure that feels predictable and safe
-
everyone has space to speak and be heard
-
a gently guided conversation that stays grounded and supportive
-
an environment where you don’t have to perform or explain yourself
As the coach/facilitator, I structure each session around a weekly topic that will enable you to share your experiences, learn from other women's experiences, and help you gain insight into your autistic journey.
Topics are tailored to meet the specific needs of the women in each cohort.
Past topics have included: how to meet your sensory needs; what it means for someone to be a "safe person"; the effects of performing "neurotypical"; and managing your energy effectively.
-----------------------------
A place where you can be authentically,
unapologetically you
-----------------------------
A place for healing, insight, and acceptance
🌟 "It feels so good to know that I'm not alone."
🌟 “I really have appreciated this entire series on unmasking and really how important it is to me and my healing journey.”
🌟 "I love being with people who get it."
🌟 “Each week, someone says something that resonates deeply and gives me so much to think about.”
-----------------------------
You don't have to keep doing this alone
Unmask & Connect is a place where you can find your people and figure it out together.
Many women say this is where they have found a true sense of belonging for the first time in their lives.
There is great healing both in supporting other autistic women and in being supported by them.
