Good morning Bournemouth! The Poetry Marquee is nearly up and it’s time for the 🤩!

If you’ve ever thought:

“I wish I knew other business owners who think like me.”
“I’m tired of pretending things are easier than they are.”
“I just want to be in a room where I don’t have to explain myself.”

Then I’d love to welcome you to my monthly Dorset meet-ups with fellow neurodivergent business owners.

You don’t need to have it all figured out to come along.
You don’t need a diagnosis.
You don’t need a polished business.
You don’t need to be “good at networking”.

This support group is about connection, understanding, and feeling less alone in business.

Come as you are.
Quiet or chatty.
Overwhelmed or curious.

Sit and listen. Join in if you want. Breathe.

Hey 👋

I wanted to personally share something I think you'll find really valuable, especially if you're looking for a grounded, intentional way to start your year in business.

My brilliant business mentor, Erin, is running her free Beyond Now workshop this January, and it’s honestly one of the most refreshing, grounding sessions I’ve ever attended. I’m also an affiliate, so if you decide to explore further with her, I may receive a small thank-you, but I’m sharing this because I truly believe in it!

Beyond Now is a 75-minute live, interactive workshop for women in business who are ready to pause, breathe, and reconnect with what they really want from their business in a way that’s life-friendly, not hustle-fuelled.

Here are the details:
📅 Friday 9th January
🕤 9:30–10:45 AM UK time
📍 Live on Zoom
💸 Completely free to attend

It’s perfect if you’re feeling a little overwhelmed or simply want a moment of clarity before diving into the year. Erin also gently introduces her Cocoon membership (which I highly recommend) at the end, which is a beautiful next step if you want deeper, ongoing support.

If this sounds aligned with where you are right now, you can sign up via my link here: http://www.lifefriendlybusiness.com/a/2148219151/kVLfriKJ

Let me know if you join, I’d love to hear how you find it 💛

🌟 ADHD Awareness Month 2025: The Many Faces of ADHD 🌟

This year’s theme is “The Many Faces of ADHD”, a reminder that ADHD shows up differently for everyone. Behind every business owner, solopreneur or leader, there’s a unique rhythm of energy, focus, distraction, hyperdrive, and pause.

At Smartual, we see those “many faces” every day. We work with small business owners whose brains don’t always fit into neat boxes - whether that’s ADHD, another neurodivergence, or simply the busy brain that comes with running a business.

🧠 Understanding the “many faces” of focus
• Sometimes focus comes in bursts; periods of intense productivity followed by needing to recharge.
• Other times, it’s juggling just to get started, or switching between too many ideas at once.
• Sometimes the challenge isn’t doing, but deciding what to do next.

Recognising these patterns is key, and it’s one reason why having a supportive framework, flexible systems, and someone in your corner (who “gets it”) makes all the difference.

🎯 How we support businesses & busy brains
When you partner with us, you're not getting a one-size-fits-all VA. You’re getting someone who:
✔ Adapts to your peak energy windows (not forcing you into someone else's schedule)
✔ Helps you structure tasks into bite-sized, do-able steps
✔ Anticipates potential overwhelm and buffers key points with flexibility
✔ Helps with admin so your attention stays on strategy, creativity, growth
✔ Offers consistent accountability, reminders, check-ins, gently, but firmly
We meet you where your brain is, not where someone else thinks it should be!

💡 This ADHD Awareness Month, we’re celebrating the many faces, many strengths, and many ways of working that exist in business. Your brain doesn’t have to fit a mould to succeed!!

Really looking forward to today at the Bournemouth International Film Festival.

Another brilliant event fuelled by creativity in the heart of Bournemouth, put together by the inspiring Steve McCarten 👏🏻 .

It might be a grey outside but events like these show there is so much more to our amazing town than the Pier and beach!

The festival is taking place at the Hilton Bournemouth today and tomorrow, head over the website for tickets 🎫.
