About Our Presentation:
As neurodivergent women in business, we’ve mastered the art of masking to fit into a world that often doesn’t understand us. But at what cost? Hiding our true selves can drain our energy and stifle our brilliance.
In this presentation, we’ll dive into how masking impacts us professionally and personally, and how embracing our authenticity can lead to greater success, fulfillment, and freedom. Let’s uncover ways to step into the light, unapologetically and powerfully.
About Our Presenter:

With 18 years of experience navigating the beautiful and sometimes challenging journey of raising two neurodivergent children, alongside her own neurodivergence, Mandy understands the struggles, questions, and unique joys that come with this path.
In addition to her coaching expertise, Mandy has spent the last nine years working in higher education, collaborating with nonprofits, and developing environmental education programs for children. Outside of her professional work, she enjoys spending time outdoors camping, biking, and hiking. Mandy also has a creative side, finding joy in crocheting and baking.
