Helps Keep me Focused & Accountable
This is a great community for ADHD Founders. I love the 'Eat That Frog' Sessions where I can show up to work with others, commit to getting something done, and celebrate actually doing the thing I wouldn't probably have done without this community. Bill and Rex are AMAZING! Highly recommended.

Where ADHD Entrepreneurs Actually Build
I joined Focus Founders because I didn’t need more advice—I needed traction and a community that understands how ADHD actually shows up for those of us trying to launch our own businesses. What I found was a group culture that’s generous, direct in a helpful way, and genuinely invested in boosting each other up. The tone is "online family," and the occasional (constructive) competition made it super-easy to show up consistently. I have made more progress toward escaping my 9-5 in the three months since I joined than I did in the previous fifteen years of struggling alone. If you’re an ADHD entrepreneur who wants support that turns into action and a room that feels like real humans supporting one another, then Focus Founders is worth a look.

Mel guides the Burnout Edit community in such a gentle, compassionate and deeply caring way. Her calming voice and genuine effort to get to know and support each person creates an atmosphere where real change is possible. The classroom has provided me with rich and practical resources that have helped my sleep and social media detox process. There is warmth and wisdom in what she provides, and I highly recommend if you are looking to feel supported and cared for in making changes to sleep, overwhelm, anxiety or a topic of your choice. This community helps to heal and provide lasting change, I encourage you to join and get to know her beautiful work that comes from a place of both personal and professional understanding.

Mel's community is a breath of fresh air.
Mel's community is a breath of fresh air. The emphasis on doing small things to regulate ourselves is right up my alley, and the toe-dipping into hypnotherapy was welcome. I highly recommend this as a place to really exhale.
