The Problem
If you’re here, you’ve probably tried many things to solve the problem on your own.
❌ Productivity apps that promise to change your life (but you abandon after a week)
❌ Morning routines that work for neurotypical people (but leave you exhausted)
❌ Time blocking that falls apart the moment your brain decides to hyperfocus on something else
❌ “Just push through” advice that ignores your very real limitations
❌ One-size-fits-all solutions that don’t account for bad pain days or ADHD paralysis
Meanwhile, you’re watching other entrepreneurs seem to effortlessly scale their businesses while you’re stuck in a cycle of:
- Starting strong, then burning out
- Feeling guilty about needing more flexibility
- Wondering if you’re just not cut out for entrepreneurship
- Beating yourself up for not being ‘consistent enough’
Here’s what I know: The problem isn’t you. It’s that you’re trying to force yourself into systems designed for brains and bodies that work completely differently than yours.
Others just don’t get it. I do. It’s part of my reality, just like yours.
Hi, I'm Emily. I've been where you are.
I know what it’s like to feel like you’re constantly behind, juggling too many things, and wondering why everyone else seems to have it figured out while you’re drowning in your own business.
As someone who’s navigated ADHD, chronic illness, and the unique challenges of running a business while managing unpredictable health days, I’ve learned that traditional productivity advice just doesn’t work for people like us.
The truth? You’re not broken. You’re not lazy. You’re not ‘bad at business.’ You just need systems that work WITH your brain and body, not against them.
That’s exactly what I help my clients build—and it’s why they finally stop fighting themselves and start loving their work again.
If your business doesn’t fit standard solutions for harnessing creativity and maximizing efficiency, you’re in the right place.
For Professionals Who Think in Spectrums, Not Binaries
You see the world differently.
Where others see black and white, you see the entire spectrum. Where they see rigid categories, you see fluid possibilities. This way of thinking requires systems that bend with your thinking, not against it.
I combine ancient Zen wisdom with modern Agile methodology to create adaptive workflow systems that honor how your brain actually works.
No more forcing yourself into productivity frameworks designed for mainstream minds. No more shame spirals when the “proven” methods leave you feeling more scattered than before.
The Intersection of Ancient Wisdom and Modern Methods
Zen teaches us:
Presence over pressure. Flow over force. Adaptation over optimization.
Agile Methods teach us:
Iteration over perfection. Retrospection over regret.
Together, they create systems that breathe with your energy cycles. Workflows that adapt to your attention patterns. Accountability that removes shame from the equation.
This isn’t just about becoming more disciplined. It’s about becoming more deliberate. It’s about building a business that works with your brain instead of against it.
Why Workflow Matters
Traditional business culture often operates on a narrow set of assumptions: consistency, extroversion, and neurotypical habits. It champions a rigid approach, rewarding those who can easily conform to fixed expectations. For many of us, this leaves us questioning our value and struggling to keep pace, wondering if we’re somehow “broken.”
Yet, history tells a different story. Before the Industrial Revolution standardized work into measurable hours and assembly lines, people thrived by creating businesses as independent inventors, artisans, engineers, and explorers. Their work was deeply personal, their processes unique, and their output reflected their individual genius. Today’s impersonal products, mass-produced and sold online, mark a significant shift from that era of handmade, human-centric creation.
In the 21st century, we navigate not just the legacy of industrial-era norms, but also rapid market shifts, economic volatility, and constant technological evolution. The old blueprints for success simply don’t fit the dynamic reality of today’s small business landscape, especially when coupled with the ever-changing demands of life itself. These multiple currents make small businesses more essential than ever, but also significantly harder to sustain.
If your brilliance thrives with a nonstandard business model, lifestyle, or learning style, you don’t need fixing. You need a workflow that truly fits you.
My work is about helping you design sustainable systems and habits that honor your unique rhythm and strengths, empowering you to achieve consistent, joyful output without shame or the pressure of outdated ideals.
Let’s build a work life that works for you, not against you.

BLOG: Zen and the Art of Shoveling Shit
Emily’s blog began as a series of essays written while working in a horse barn and practicing Zen. (Real Zen, not the yogurt commercial kind or the kind spouted by lifestyle gurus.)
Real Zen is looking into the mirror of mind very day and deliberately polishing it to see yourself more clearly, even if what you see is painful. Not hiding from the truth.
When you shovel your shit, you have to do it every day. Over time, the resistance wears down and there is a calmness and beauty in simple, humble tasks.
Begin now, come back to the present moment, not turning away from this reality, right here and now, however uncomfortable. This is where you find the strength and consistency to get shit done.
Please read the blog for advice, stories, and inspiration on how to carve your own path to the next milestone of your choice.
