FOR NEURODIVERGENT ADULTS
Feeding yourself should not take this much out of you.
You've probably blamed yourself for it. The dinner that didn't happen. The ingredient you forgot. The day you just couldn't. You figured this is just what life is like for you.
It's not. And I can help.

Late Diagnosis Life Coach
SOUND FAMILIAR?
You hyperfocus and forget to eat entirely
You have no system that works for the brain you actually have
You run out of capacity before dinner happens
You are not failing.
The systems are
failing you.
After a late diagnosis, a lot of things make sense for the first time. But knowing you are autistic does not automatically make daily life easier. You are still burning out. Still forgetting to eat. Still doing everything at twice the cost of everyone around you, without any of the tools built for your brain.
That is not a personal failing. That is what happens when you spend decades operating without the right framework. My work is about building that framework, starting with the most basic and most overlooked thing: feeding yourself.
"I need to get better at eating a real lunch. A banana and coffee doesn’t cut it, and then I eat the first quick thing I see for dinner.”
"Getting the kids fed takes all my energy. They eat so many times a day, and they don’t eat the same foods. It feels like I’m constantly in the kitchen, but never feeding myself."
"I just get stuck in a hyperfocus zone during the day and then forget to eat. But meal prep seems so unattainable for my ADHD brain that I don’t know what to do."
HI, I’M JOSSELYN
I've been there too.
And I built something that actually helps.
I got diagnosed with autism at 39. And when I did, a lot of things suddenly made sense. Including this struggle.
I spent years thinking I was just bad at the basics. Keeping food in the house. Making dinner without it turning into a whole thing. I thought everyone else had figured something out that I just hadn't gotten to yet.
They hadn't. They just have brains that make it easier.
Once I understood that, I stopped trying to fix myself and started building systems that work for the brain I actually have. Then I started helping other people do the same.
The Food Systems Workbook
Getting fed is genuinely complicated when you have a brain like ours. Planning, shopping, prepping, cooking, cleaning up. And underneath all of that: executive dysfunction, sensory sensitivities, hunger cues that go quiet, days where there is nothing left.
I built this from real strategies shared by over 600 neurodivergent people. Not a meal plan. Not a diet. A system you build over time, on good brain days, so the hard days already have an answer.
Executive dysfunction
Every step of getting food requires initiation, memory, and energy. That is real and it is hard.
Low spoon days
Some days there is nothing left. The system works on those days too, not just the good ones.
Sensory sensitivities
Your safe foods are valid. Your restrictions are real. We build around them.
Hunger cue blindnes
You hyperfocus and miss meals entirely. We build in catches before the crash happens.
Food guilt
You are not bad at eating. This is just hard. We start there.
1:1 COACHING
Want to go deeper?
The Food Systems Workbook is a great place to start. But for a lot of people, food is just the entry point into bigger work. If you want to dig into what autistic life actually looks like for you, 1:1 coaching is where we do that.
We work on whatever is most pressing. No set curriculum, no fixed program. Just practical, shame-free work built around your brain.
Unmasking and identity after late diagnosis
Self advocacy at work, in healthcare, in relationships
Nervous system regulation that actually works for you
Breaking the burnout and recovery cycle
Building daily systems for autistic life
Sliding scale pricing from $50 per session. I offer three tiers with no questions asked and no proof required. If even the lowest tier feels out of reach, reach out and we will figure something out.
Not sure where
to start?
That is okay. You do not have to have it figured out before you reach out.
All discovery calls are free. 30 minutes, no pressure, no commitment. You tell me where you are and what feels hard. I ask some questions. We both decide honestly whether working together makes sense.
If I am not the right fit, I will tell you that and point you somewhere better.
