Joyfully Different Community Membership

Join our supportive, affirming community for neurodivergent business owners and freelancers

We’re a UK-wide online community and learning hub with a mission to make self-employment joyful for neurodivergent business owners — and having a community that “gets it”, to share knowledge with and learn from is VITAL when you’re running a business.

Our membership is just £30 per month, because it’s important to us that we’re accessible for as many neurodivergent business owners as possible

Do you sometimes feel like you don’t belong in the business world?

Do you struggle to find business resources & support that work for you and your brain?

Do you want to connect with other neurodivergent business owners who are all doing business differently?

Do you want to discover ways to run your business YOUR way, embracing all the ways that make your brain different instead of fighting against it?

This is why we created Joyfully Different!

We’re a space for neurodivergent business leaders to build their knowledge, skills and confidence in a supportive online community.

“Joyfully Different is one of the most inclusive and wholesome communities I've had the privilege to be a part of. I am usually quite nervous about paying to join a community as everyone seems to have one these days. But Joyfully Different stood out as the genuine thing. The people running it put so much into it and their mission is genuinely to help their members succeed and to support them. I can't wait to watch the community grow.”

"Joyfully Different is the first community where I’ve felt understood and I’m excited to be a part of and contribute to it. I’ve always struggled with communities and lurked on the outskirts, but I feel like I’ve come home and found my people within the Joyfully Different Community and where I can drop the mask and be truly myself. It feels like freedom."

“Meeting people who are wired similarly to me, who’ve had the business experiences and emotional experiences that I have, helps me to stay grounded, to stay focussed, and to get advice that resonates with me and the way I think. Joyfully Different is the perfect complement to other, more generic business support networks that are around.”

I'm Alice, and I Founded Joyfully Different!

And I am SO happy you’re here and that you’ve read all the way down to this part of the page!

I’m guessing if you’re still here, then what you’re read so far about Joyfully Different has resonated with you, and you’re thinking about whether to join us. Well, we would love nothing more than to welcome you into the community.

I started Joyfully Different in 2023, because it’s the business community that I was looking for and struggled to find.

I wanted to create a space for neurodivergent business owners, freelancers and aspiring entrepreneurs to connect, learn and collaborate together.

Most the business advice out there isn’t designed for our neurodivergent brains – it doesn’t resonate with us, it doesn’t feel authentic, and it doesn’t work.

So, I built this space with the help of a fantastic team of volunteers, advisors and experts to build our business skills and knowledge together, explore what works for our brains and businesses, and to be authentically and proudly ourselves – whether we’re networking, working with clients or marketing our businesses.

As our community grows, the more we can offer, and we would love you to be part of the journey with us.
