Nope - not a fantasy. Or a luxury. Itâs about finding your North Star and having a sat nav to guide you toward it. Detours allowed, snacks encouraged.
Think flexible structure you can lean on, steady checkpoints to keep you moving, and co-pilots who actually get your brain. Thatâs how the exhausted squirrel finally gets to stand down - and you get to make progress.
Breathing a sigh of relief? Keep reading.
Stop white-knuckling it. Build a business that fits your ADHD or Autistic brain.
WELCOME TO THE
Disobedient BusinessÂŽ Mastermind
Youâre an established ADHD + Autistic service-based or online business owner. You want need autonomy, your own definition of success, and a way of working that respects your brain and your life.
LETâS GET REAL HONEST FOR A MINUTEâŚ
I already know this is for me!
You have no shortage of brilliant ideas. The follow-through not so much, momentum who is she?
Capacity swings hard. Your nervous system needs a bit of love and care, not more pressure or shame.
Support and systems often feel punitive, beige and like a round hole for your square peg.
Youâre the exhausted squirrel: running flat-out in God Mode, burning out. Rinse. Repeat.
Clear focus you can keep, with small steps that reliably move the needle.
A way to run your business sustainably that fits your brain and life.
Flexible structure that holds you steady without hemming you in too tight.
A space where you donât have to mask and youâre safe to be yourself!
Self-trust that grows every time you choose your way and (surprise!), it works.
Plans you actually follow through on, so progress stops stalling out.
Energy-led systems that work with your brain and keep momentum flowing.
Offers simplified so theyâre sellable, doable, and not draining.
Clarity that comes from your North Star so you always know what matters.
How does this sound instead?
HOW ABOUT WE TRY SOMETHING DIFFERENT?
Iâve heard enough â gimme the clarity and the snacks.
Between us, weâve coached, mentored, and sometimes lovingly dragged dozens of neurodivergent business owners through the chaos and into something that actually works for them. For their brains, their lives, and their versions of success. Strategy meets irreverence. Trauma-informed meets sweary AF.
Bring your brain, your business and your life. Weâll bring the support and structure. Together we make it work.
Be as unmasked as you feel you can.
No âhomework policeâ. No shame when life happens. Bring your fidget toys. Leave your camera on, turn it off. All the ways in which you could show up are all good.
You get structure you can lean on, without being boxed in. You get support that respects your capacity and your squishy humanness.
Weâre Pippa & Lucy Parfait, the sweary, neurodivergent mother/spawn duo behind Disobedient BusinessÂŽ Co. ADHD? Autistic? Executive function on a magical mystery holiday? Same. Thatâs why we donât just talk about working differently, we live it.
Yes. Thatâs the whole point.
Can I actually be me here?
You donât need a new system to contort yourself into. You need a way of working that fits your ADHD or Autistic brain.
Thatâs why we we return to the three strands of the Disobedient Brain⢠Framework, every damn time.
This isnât theory. Itâs the lens that runs through everything inside the work we do, so your business starts fitting your brain + you can keep moving without burning yourself up or selling yourself out.
So how do we put this into practice without it feeling like another fucking formula?
The Disobedient Brain⢠Framework
NOT A BLUEPRINTđ¤˘đ
Stay rooted in what matters, start to see your patterns clearly, and stop any shame running the show.
Grounded mindset
Right-sized steps and flexible systems that move you forward without burnout or overcommitting.
Sustainable action:
Built piece by piece, again and again (and again), until it quietly blooms into lasting confidence and self-belief.
Cultivated self-trust:
What's in the actual box?
And this is what that looks like week to week, so you know exactly what youâre stepping into...
Once your onboarding form lands, we spend 2 hours together one-to-one, mapping the Success Measures for your business, sketching a realistic 90-day route, and planning out month-one priorities. You leave with your personal North Star for your satnav and a first set of steps you can actually take.
Set Your North Star Session (2 hours)
Small-group coaching and masterminding calls - c.90 mins - where you bring real questions, ideas, and work-in-progress. Some weeks you might choose to be in the hot seat, others you might come for the vibes or to support your pals. The final call of each month doubles as a light check-in to review and set up the next month.
Weekly Group Masterminding Pods
A one-to-one coaching call with Pippa to zoom in on your priorities outside the group container. We troubleshoot, right-size the plan, and choose the next moves that fit your capacity. It could be offer planning, capacity planning, systems or anything, the floor is yours in these calls.
Monthly 1:1 with Pippa
Life isnât scheduled around video calls, areweriteđ? Send a voice or text note when it hits and get a thoughtful reply within 24 biz hours (likely much faster). Strategy riffs, tiny tweaks, or âtalk me downâ moments. We keep the conversation going as and when you need to.
Async Support (voice & text)
Towards the end of each quarter, we pause to review, reflect, and reset together. Youâll make sure youâre aligned to your North Star, check in on your progress, and map the next leg with support. Itâs âCEO timeâ (minor eyeroll), structured and energising, but calm, not chaotic.
Quarterly Planning Circles (3 hrs)
Capped at 14 humans across two small group âpodsâ that are largely grouped by time zone, with rest weeks baked in throughout your time with us. The container gives you a flexible structure, so you can breathe, show up as youâre able, and still make steady progress.

âThereâs no judgement. No one is going to tell you âyou have to do it this wayâ or âyouâre not trying hard enoughâ, and no one is going to judge you for your executive function level either. Each week I look forward to the connection and insight from other like-minded peeps in the pod calls.â
Peta came to the Mastermind looking for business support for a myriad of things: her neurodivergent brain, her financial responsibilities, her ethics, and her big ambitions. Since then, sheâs launched Free Range Marketing LTD centred around something uniquely hers - 15 years as a youth worker - positioning herself as the âcritical friendâ scaling brands need. Alongside the strategic shift has come a personal one too. Sheâs feeling less shame and more confidence in her decisions, and sheâs building a business that feels like it was actually designed for her.

Siobhan has made some of her biggest business moves while in DBMM. She launched her group programme, This Sister Speaks, then made an even bigger leap: leaving copywriting behind and repositioning her business around advocacy, speaking up and workplace culture.
In addition to a new brand, website and offers, sheâs learning to build a business that works with her ADHD brain rather than forcing herself into traditional ways of working.

âItâs such a valuable part of my week, my work and my life. Even when I have nothing to bring to a session, it feels good to support others. Sometimes itâs the reminder I need that I do actually know what Iâm talking about!â

Susan joined the Mastermind with big ideas, but plenty of self-doubt and âshouldsâ about what a successful business ought to look like. With ongoing support, she turned one of those big ideas into reality, running her first international retreat in South Africa.
Sheâs also had the courage and confidence to rethink her original vision, letting go of goals that no longer fit and creating a business around the life she actually wants.

âOne of the biggest milestones during my time in the Mastermind was running my first international retreat. But perhaps the even bigger transformation has been learning to let go of old definitions of success and build a business that fits who I am now.â

Laura came with confidence, experience and plenty of great ideas to the Mastermind, but without the structure to turn all of that into action. Since then, sheâs built solid foundations and clearer processes, giving her more space for the work that really needs her.
A self-confessed âlone rangerâ, sheâs also learned to ask for and accept support, and started laying the stepping stones towards some much bigger business dreams.

After a decade of doing business the way she thought she was âsupposed toâ, Marie joined the Mastermind looking for support and focus. Sheâs since made braver, more aligned decisions about where to put her energy, including what not to pursue. And while itâs never just about the money, the results followed: Marie more than doubled her revenue in her first year and is on track to pretty much double it again in year two.

Kickoff
Our fantastic Masterminders' words...
Peta, Brand Messaging Strategist
Since joining DBMM, I've stopped trying to force myself into business strategies that were never designed for me. Instead, I'm building a business that's profitable, ethical and works with my brain, not against it.
Siobhan, Advocacy Consultant and Mentor
Pippa challenges me in coaching sessions in all the right ways, calling out my BS and self-sabotage, and the gorgeous community has been there through both the wins and the wobbles.
Susan, Executive Life Coach
One of the biggest milestones during my time in the Mastermind, so far, was running my first international retreat. It continues to resonate!
Laura, The Comms Legend
The Mastermind has enough structure to support your nervous system, with enough freedom to support your brain. It has transformed the way I run my business.
We get it, and we donât want some huge faceless container that we pack as many people as possible into. We keep things small and personal. The Mastermind is capped at 14 people, split into two pods, and we have plenty of ways to check in with each other to make sure you meet your goals.
Iâve tried masterminds before and got lost in the noise.
We donât take attendance. If youâre having a busy or a heavy week, then you donât have to show up to anything. All our calls are recorded if you want to catch up. And rest weeks are baked in. Itâs one reason we have weekly calls, so you donât have to come every week!
My capacity swings; what happens if I miss calls or crash?
Weâre not going to ask for a doctorâs note, a psych report, or any proof. If you self-identify as ADHD or Autistic, then weâre here to support you in a way that works for your brain and capacity. And we're not "anti-neurodivergent" (can you imagine?!), so if you're a neurotypical human who relates to a lot of this stuff, of course you're still welcome!
Iâm late-diagnosed or self-identified. Is this still for me?
Yes. We offer two scholarships a year (roughly one every six months) for folks where the only barrier is money. We prioritise marginalised identities because coaching is a privileged space and access isnât equal. Why we do it: To widen the door. Cost shouldnât be the one barrier. How to apply: Fill in this short form. Thatâs it.
Do you offer scholarships or assisted places?
Our small group pods are weekly and are on Thursdays at 10am or Thursdays at 4pm.
10am UK = 2am PST | 5am EST | 11am CET | 12pm SAST | 6pm AWST
4pm UK = 8am PST | 11am EST | 5pm CET | 7pm SAST | 12am AWST
(time zone conversions are subject to change during daylight saving times)
When are the calls?
We max out at 14 Disobedient BusinessÂŽ Masterminders at any given time, and we split into up to 2 pods of up to 7 for the weekly pod Hot Seat coaching calls. When we say "small" we don't mean 30+ like some group things.
How many people will be in the Mastermind?
YES!! All Masterminders get one 60-minute call with Pippa every month (6 in total) plus their kick off 2-hour North Star Session.
Does the Mastermind include any one-to-one time?
The Mastermind is built for established businesses. As a guide, that usually looks like 3+ years in, with offers youâve delivered, clients coming in (not constant first-client hustle), and a desire to make things work better, not figure out basics.
How long do I need to have been in business to join?
No problem, just pop into our DMs on Instagram or drop us an email and weâll be happy to help and give you a super honest answer to whether The Mastermind is right for you.
My question isnât listed here...
Oh, and just so weâre crystal fucking clear:
Black, Brown and Indigenous People of Colourâs lives matter, all love and gender expression deserves equal care, protection and rights by the law, gender is a construct, diverse brains are valued, all bodies are beautiful and weâre far less interested in how you look than we are in who you are. ALL humans are valuable and kindness and respect is everything.â¨If you don't believe that business is inherently political and would rather avoid the tough conversations about the state of the world and doing the work to help dismantle the systems that harm so many of us in it, then working with us is definitely not for you. Please see yourself out. Ta-ta đ.
