This isn’t about panic, shame, or being “the perfect coach.” It’s about being honest that platform-heavy business models are asking a lot of human nervous systems—especially for neurodivergent, deep-feeling entrepreneurs. ​ We’ve all watched clients who are smart, committed, and doing “everything right” quietly burn out, ghost, or disappear. Not because they’re weak. Not because our strategy is bad. Because the environment itself is an occupational health risk we were never trained to name. ​... And this isn’t slowing down. Autism diagnoses have climbed from 1 in 150 kids in 2000 to 1 in 31 school‑age children as of 2025. ​ Neurodivergent people are 3–5x more likely to become entrepreneurs. ​ An estimated 57% of Gen Z want creator/digital careers—and the majority are entering that world with zero occupational health protections. ...​ In other words: the next wave of clients walking into our programs will be more neurodivergent, more online, and more exposed to platform harm than any generation before them. If we’re serious about protecting each other— as colleagues and as humans— then at some point we have to stop treating this as a personal failing and start treating it as infrastructure. That doesn’t mean you overhaul your entire business overnight. It means you have a simple, ethical path when you notice a client is clearly not just “stuck on strategy” anymore. No guilt trip. No moral high ground. Just: we are operating inside systems that can harm people, and we’re choosing to build better guardrails together. That’s what “ahead of the curve” actually looks like in the Digital Depth Economy. ------------- Be the coach who saw the neurodivergent platform crash before it became a Harvard Business Review case study. Comment 'REFERRAL' for the 3-question filter that helps you know when a client needs occupational health support—not more strategy.

"Your First $10K Month: The Breakthrough System That Crushes It Every Time!" "Zero to Six Figures in 90 Days: The Secret Formula They Don't Want You to Know" "Breakthrough to Multiple 6-Figures: Join the Elite 1% Who Dominate Their Market" If reading those made you feel a little queasy or tired, you're not imagining it. There's something deeper happening here. What your nervous system is trying to tell you: These hooks are designed to exploit what I call the "delayed feedback loop" that particularly affects deep-thinking entrepreneurs. When you're already struggling with the natural silence that comes with building something meaningful online, these promises of instant relief feel tempting—and that's exactly the trap. They manufacture urgency where patience is needed. They promise shortcuts through work that requires depth. They turn your business journey into an emotional roller coaster instead of sustainable growth. Here's what I keep coming back to: The difference between extractive marketing and authentic business building isn't just philosophical—it's neurological. When you force your expansive mind into "bite-sized reels and generic funnels," you're literally working against your natural cognitive patterns. Real $10K months (the kind that don't disappear next month) come from building genuine relationships with people who value your work, creating consistent value that compounds over time, and developing systems that work with your natural energy patterns—not from manufacturing crisis and urgency. What this means for you: If those headline examples made you feel resistant or drained, trust that feeling. Your intuition is protecting you from what I call "Stockholm64"—the gradual acceptance of marketing tactics that undermine the very depth and authenticity your ideal clients are seeking. Your resistance isn't a character flaw. It's wisdom. The Digital Depth Economy isn't about rejecting growth or success. It's about achieving both in ways that honor who you actually are, rather than who you think you need to become.
