The support network for female business owners with neurodivergence and/or chronic illness
"I just can’t find where I actually fit”
Yep, that sounds about right.
When you’re supposed to be a Boss Bitch or a She-EO (sorry, I just threw up in my mouth a little bit there), but you’re managing
- a chronic illness and/or
- neurodivergence
Those boxes are beyond uncomfortable, and it’s exhausting constantly contorting yourself to fit in where, actually, there’s no space for you.
This not-so-little conundrum is what kicked off Square Pegs.
What is Square Pegs?
These are not your usual meetings. We don’t rock up with our game faces on, fight songs blaring in the background, and try to convince the rest of the group that we know exactly what we’re doing and you should hire/recommend us because blah blah blah…
We’re not a business network. What we are is a support group for female business owners who live with chronic health conditions and/or neurodivergence.
You can ...
- turn up to an online meeting in your PJs, and no one is going to judge you
- tell us that business is actually incredibly hard right now, and you’re not sure what you should do next
- have a little meltdown, and we’ll hold you through it
- vent about trying to get diagnosed and being fobbed off with antidepressants
- share tiny victories, and we’ll celebrate the hell out of it with you
- fidget, crochet, move around, blurt out what’s on your mind, cry, stomp your foot
we’ll be there with you.
Square Pegs is a place you can find comfort and solutions from women who are just like you, who get how your brain works and will never shame you for it.
How does it work?
We meet on alternating Tuesdays, online, at 10:30 am (good news for the permanently exhausted pigeons among us).
We have 2 meetings per month – one with a guest speaker, and one “Vent and Validate” meeting, where we can share triumphs or get something sticky off our chests.
In between meetings, we have a member’s WhatsApp group, where it’s almost guaranteed that someone will be awake at silly o’clock to chat about how that person gave you weird side eye in the supermarket and now you can’t stop thinking about it.
I'm in, what do I do next?
To visit a meeting, email us and we’ll get right back to you (once we have had at least 3 cups of coffee) to book you in.
