Brain Brilliance
A non-linear space for non-linear thinkers.
What is Brain Brilliance?
For the past 8 years, I’ve offered both 1:1 coaching as well as a membership program, Brain Brilliance, as a way of supporting neuro-divergent individuals, or those who are diagnosed with ADHD, or who have ADHD tendencies. It has been a wonderful adventure full of humans that I’ve grown to love and appreciate so much.
That being said, I’ve always had a bit of frustration around the often overwhelming burden of responsibility for how best to function in the world as a neurodivergent individual. I believe 100% in what we can do for ourselves (mindset/strategies), AND 100% that there are systems in place that make life as a neurospicy human much more challenging.
There are many aspects of ADHD functionality that impact how we show up in the workplace, at home, and in public. It’s not just about what you can do differently, it’s also important to understand how your needs have been overlooked and unaccounted for in the creation of current systems. This breaks the shame cycle, which in and of itself allows you to step into the world more confidently.
As I pivot towards what feels like my next mission (a non-profit or co-op that can address some of these larger systemic issues), I’d like to invite you to participate as a member of the Brain Brilliance community. Your voice matters. Together we’re better.
Brain Brilliance Reimagined.
The primary goal of this group is to provide a place where people feel supported and to provide a place where connections between like-minded individuals are fostered.
Here are a few things to know.
There are no experts here. (This includes me, Shaun, your dedicated Soul Chaperone)
Societal conditioning has acted as a prison, our mission here is to conduct the ultimate jailbreak
Neuro-divergent thinking is centered here
Together we will model a new way
Everything else is up for discussion
Now that we’re clear on that, let’s dig deeper into what it all means.
Sovereignty; you are the expert of your life.
Every other person with knowledge on a subject matter may choose to share their expert opinion with you, but the only person that can determine if that opinion is helpful is YOU. That means that I have expert opinions, you have expert opinions, we all have expert opinions within us (whether we choose to share them is another story). It’s my hope that in this group you’ll come alongside me and open up more and more to what’s within you, as well as consider what’s within others. We’re here to support, encourage, witness and grow.
What is normal?
Historically most spaces (public/virtual/corporate/educational/familial) have centered on neuro-typical ways of thinking and being. We’ve been programmed to try and conform to the “norm”. We literally haven’t experienced it any other way. Not here my friends. Here in Brain Brilliance, we’re going to make our best attempts to normalize neurospicy thinking and behaviors. Will we get it right 100 percent of the time? Of course not! But we will course correct as often as needed. That means this space is being created by and for those of us who identify as neuro-divergent (no matter actual diagnoses or lack thereof). That does not mean neuro-typical is bad, or wrong, or unwelcome, just not centered here. Our True North is neuro-divergent and non-linear. There’s nothing typical about it.
Transparency matters.
I will get this wrong. We will get this wrong. But my intent is for us to be examples of what’s possible. To fail forward. To create a place where you can feel free to get messy. To create a space that feels different and better for those of us with ADHD tendencies. A place where authenticity reigns supreme, and mistakes mean something more than something gone horribly wrong. Mistakes actually mean we’re in the game and playing…pieces on the board, not lurking in the shadows hiding behind a mask of perfection. Fear is a powerful emotion that can stop growth in its tracks. I believe that everything that’s scary is better with friends. There’s power in numbers. It feels great to know that others have your back.
What does the membership include?
3 different types of LIVE Calls with Shaun, on average 2x per week…
Open Office Calls.
Show up, drop into the chat what you’re going to be working on and the result that you’ll create. Get to work, and then check in and celebrate at the end.
Coaching Calls.
Come to these calls if you’re feeling stuck and want some mindset coaching. You can show up and raise your “virtual hand” for instant coaching, or you can submit a specific request ahead of time.
SoapBox Calls.
Discussions that are designed to be inclusive and roundtable-style. Shaun will kick them off with a topic and then we see where it takes us. No topic is taboo.
Small Groups.
Small groups based on your Human Design and/or Gene Key profiles.*
In-person event.
A quarterly one-day in-person event.**
Recordings.
Access to all recordings.
*Upon enrollment, you’ll be invited to pull your Human Design, and Gene Keys charts and share them with Shaun to enhance your coaching experience.
**(These will be offered at an additional cost, but members will have early access and receive a discounted rate.)
Monthly Themes
Executive Function • Relationships • Human Design • Money • Entrepreneurialship • ADHD • Clear Communication • Parenting • Emotional Intelligence • Astrocartography • Education • Careers • Narcissism/Biases • Nutrition/Fitness • Gene Keys
These topics will be Human Design/Gene Keys informed. What this means is that I will be speaking to these different topics with a lens for human design. It will be in a way that you haven’t experienced before.
Rather than coming from the tired, outdated perspective that these topics are meant to be navigated in one primary way by all humans, I believe that there are as many different ways to navigate these topics as there are humans on the planet.
Those of you with access to a Sacral response may be asked yes/no questions. Those of you with Emotional authority may be encouraged to notice how you feel over the next 24 hours and then decide what’s right for you. People who have a “Kitchen” environment, but are working on the 2nd floor in a home office may be encouraged to move to the kitchen to work. Anything goes!
If none of that last paragraph made sense, but you’re curious about Human Design and Gene Keys don’t worry! You’re in the right place.
This will be a place to play with it all. Play, report back. Play, report back. Play, report back. Experiment, experiment, experiment. Discover what works best for you!
Warm regards,
– Shaun
