This course is for you if…

You're longing for relationships where you can
finally just be yourself

You want closeness and real connection. You're someone who cares deeply and you're wanting relationships that nurture this about you and feel reciprocal.

✨

You want to unmask with the people you care about, but you're not quite sure where to start

✨

You're craving connection that feels easy and real — not the kind where you're constantly having to translate yourself

✨

You want to feel genuinely seen, heard and understood by the people in your life

✨

You're ready to find the language to express what you need — in a way that actually brings people closer

Why I created this

I spent years feeling misunderstood — even after my diagnosis

When I finally discovered later in life that THIS WHOLE TIME I'd been a high-masking AuDHD human, I thought everything would click into place. And in many ways, it did — I finally understood myself so much better.

But sharing that with others? That was a whole different story.

Talking about my neurodivergence with friends, family and people I was dating — even those who were neurodivergent themselves — still left me feeling misunderstood, embarrassed, judged, or flat-out alone. Some of those miscommunications contributed to friendships and relationships ending altogether.

"Not everyone 'got it'. My ADHD friends didn't understand my autism. I didn't feel like I related to other autistic people. How we each experience our neurodivergence is such a vast, individual spectrum."

For a long time, I didn't know how to express out loud what was in my brain without it going sideways. I knew myself deeply — I just needed to connect the dots and find the language to actually express that.

Now, after years navigating my own relationships as a late-diagnosed AuDHDer and working as the "translator" in countless multi-neurotype couples, I've figured out what it actually takes to bridge communication between loved ones — in ways that build connection rather than jeopardise it.

That's exactly what I built From Unmet to Understood to do for you.

Does this resonate?

So many of us genuinely don't know
what we need in our relationships

After a lifetime of masking — often without even realising we're autistic or have ADHD — we never really got the chance to explore how we naturally like to connect, communicate and express ourselves. And there are so many reasons why:

💔

We spent so long masking that it's hard to tell the difference between what's authentically us and the roles we became so good at playing to fit in

💔

Our unfiltered self-expression wasn't always welcomed, so we made ourselves small

💔

When we did open up honestly, it sometimes led to rejection, judgement or feeling even more alone

So we stop asking. We drift. We end up in a life that looks fine from the outside — but quietly doesn't feel like ours.

What's inside

4 modules that take you from survival mode to self-expression

From Unmet to Understood is a self-paced audio course — think podcast, but with actual structure and depth. Listen on the fly (while walking the dog, driving to work, while getting ready for your day) then revisit with a journal when you're ready to go deeper. Each of the 4 modules contains 3–4 episodes, all 10–25 minutes long.

01
WTF are needs actually?

Get out of burnout and back up to baseline. Let's rebuild your capacity to self-regulate through the ups and downs of dating, difficult conversations and of life's greatest uncertainties.

02
Unmasking your needs

Here we get into why you don't feel heard in your relationships — and how to change that by identifying your needs with laser-sharp clarity. This is where the real unmasking begins.

03
Meeting your needs

What do you do when life makes it impossible for your needs to be met? No more self-sacrificing. I'll give you the tools to distinguish between compromise and self-abandonment — and roll with life's punches with far more agility.

04
Expressing your needs in relationships

Now you're ready for the heavy lifting. Learn to communicate yourself in ways that build emotional intimacy, safety and trust in your relationships.

By the end of the course

Here's what starts to shift

✨

Communicate your genuine needs and wants in your relationships with so much more ease, conviction and clarity

✨

Start building a life and relationships that feel authentically yours, and that you can actually sustain

✨

Meet life's harder moments with more self-compassion and a lot less spinning out

✨

With the people that count, start seeing the difference between abandoning yourself and making compromises that strengthen your relationship

Hi, I'm Mim

Why From Unmet to Understood is
literally better than therapy

I've spent 6+ years working as a therapist with neurodivergent individuals and couples all over the world. The thing I come across again and again? High-masking ADHD and autistic adults who are so beautifully self-aware — but still struggling to translate that into the relationships they actually want.

I've been there too.

"A one-on-one session with me is $205. This course is less than the cost of two sessions — and it's yours to come back to, again and again."

In session, there's rarely time to slow down and look at the actual mechanics behind the shifts you feel. This course does that. I walk you through how to hold yourself with compassion, respect and loving boundaries — because how you treat yourself sets the tone for how others treat you.

Therapy isn't always accessible, and it's not always the right tool for every season of life. I created this as something you can return to whenever you need — a warm, structured space to come back to yourself.

Everything you need
to know

Who is this course for?

I designed From Unmet to Understood with ADHD and autistic adults at the forefront of my mind, most specifically those of you that are high-masking and feel the load of adult responsibility in your life and relationships. By the end of this course you will feel far more grounded, capable and self-compassionate holding these responsibilities (things like supporting yourself, supporting others and navigating an often overwhelming world).

Many (but not all) of the real-life examples and case studies I offer are specific to the ADHD and autistic experience. Based on my 6+ years working as a therapist with neurodivergent individuals and couples, I have languaged and structured the course to be neurodivergent-friendly. Though of course there is always huge diversity in how we all like to consume content, and I am always open to your constructive feedback.

Given that the core principles are relevant to anyone seeking to deepen emotional connection in their relationships, non-ADHD/autistic adults could certainly benefit from the course too!

What can I expect to get out of this course?

In applying the course content to your life, by the end you will be able to more effectively communicate your genuine needs and wants in your relationships, build an authentic neurodivergent life and relationships that is sustainable, face life's curveballs with agility and self-compassion, and distinguish between self-sacrifice and compromise, allowing you to navigate difference and challenges in your relationships.

Who is this course NOT for?

Given that online courses are never a replacement for therapy, From Unmet to Understood is not for those of you seeking tailored support or specific trauma-focused work. If you haven't done any form of therapy before, you may find some of the modules challenging. The purpose and gift of therapy (that ChatGPT can never provide!) is that we're emotionally held and co-regulated through processing vulnerable human feelings and experiences. A course is not able to do this. However, given that this course is self-paced and timeless, you can absolutely join as the first cohort and return to the content at any time.

What is the format, structure and duration of the course?

From Unmet to Understood is a self-paced audio-only course (like a podcast, but with clear chapters and far more structure). There are 4 pre-recorded modules, each with 3-4 episodes, all 10-25 minutes long. At the end of each episode I leave you with some prompts that I invite you to journal on as intentional and guided self-reflection.

For those of you who join before April 27th as the first cohort, I'll be releasing each module weekly on a Monday (across 4 weeks). This is to give you an opportunity to digest the course content and take advantage of the bonus offer.

There are no live components, group calls or online community spaces.

What sort of commitment do I need to make to get the most out of the course?

Aside from listening to each week's audio content (about an hour long), I recommend setting aside at least one hour to complete the reflection prompts. However, this can be broken up (i.e. after each episode you could journal for 15 minutes).

The course is designed to listen both on the fly (when you're walking the dog, driving to work etc) and then re-listen to when you're seated with uninterrupted writing time to yourself.

What is the benefit to joining the course before doors close on April 27th?

Not only do you get access to 15-40% off (depending on when you jump on the limited-time offers) when doors open on 22 April, but the first cohort will get 4 x BONUS Q&A recordings. Each week you'll have the opportunity to submit your questions, which I'll then answer in an audio recording (which I will keep anonymous) and share with the first cohort only.

How do I access the course?

You will be able to login and access the course on both your computer and phone (via an app available on both iPhone and Android).

How long will I have access to the course?

Forever! The course is completely self-paced (aside from the weekly Q&A bonus you get joining as the first cohort, so make sure to submit your questions in time!) and if ever I change platforms I will let you know and you will continue to have access.

Can I get a refund?

All purchases are final. If you have any other questions, you're most welcome to hit reply to this email and let me know!

You deserve relationships that
honour who you truly are

No over-explaining. No pretending. No more almost-fitting. Just the warmth, connection and understanding you've been wanting — and the tools to actually let it in.
