Let me guess? You are like me. You are neurodivergent and have been building your business SOLO for quite some time. You know you need some help but every time you reach out it seems like the help you getting isn’t the help you need. You've felt like you didn’t belong in certain communities designed for content creators, entrepreneurs or business coaches? You may have been othered and not even know it.
Othering is a system of exclusion and marginalization based on having identities that are different than what’s normal. Othering is an invisible mechanism that excludes people outside the dominant culture from access to opportunities for content creators.
Othering can take subtle forms on social media platforms or in coaching spaces. Othering can look like:
- Ignoring people’s ideas, work, or opinions
- Not giving people the benefit of the doubt
- Failing to share important information
- Avoidance
- Withholding resources
- Excluding people from meetings or social events
This practice of othering is harmful when building a community and to the members.
In this episode you will hear:
- Why do you never participate in Facebook groups or complete challenges.
- Why you really don’t know what it means to be in community as a neurodivergent content creator.
- Which systems were created to feel unwanted in coaching communities and mentoring spaces?
- Why you do not ask for help in your business and feel you need to do it all yourself.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
