Read the full show notes here: https://www.victoriatretis.co.uk/podcast-club/alice-rowan Today's guest is Alice Rowan

Alice is a neurodivergent, self-employed writer and SEO nerd (her words 🤓). After 8 years working full time for other people, in early 2022 she finally took the plunge to go freelance.

Fascinated by all things words and language from a very young age, Alice was always going to be a writer of some description. She discovered her neurodivergence at the ripe old age of 27 and has been building an accommodating life for herself ever since.

Tune in today to learn about Alice as well as her thoughts on neurodivergence and:

• succeeding at school by being book-smart
• thoughts on hierarchy, micromanagement and feeling penalised because of all the unwritten workplace rules
• setting and holding rock-solid boundaries in her business and how every shitty client is a new clause in her contract
• how her ideal client is more of a personality type and series of qualities, including seeing her as a person, not a resource (read more in Alice's LinkedIn post about this here)
• how running her business with three distinct strands truly supports her brain and creativity
• the Sunday ritual that sets her up for the week ahead.

This is a wellness supplement brand I absolutely adore and have been a massive fan of for well over a year now.

They combine ancient plant wisdom with modern science to create adaptogenic herb blends to help me focus, calm my anxiety, and switch off my brain at the end of the day. All through nature's healing powers.

Btw - not sure which product in their range might be a good fit for you? I don't offer medical advice so I'm sharing my own experience here, particularly around my anxiety. If you're on prescription meds, always seek advice from a medical professional. If you have any other questions, just drop The Herbtender a message directly - they're all so super knowledgeable and will be very happy to help you.
