The Blooming Boss
Hi and welcome to The Blooming Boss, the podcast for neurodivergent individuals who feel stuck in the workplace and who dream of forging their own path into entrepreneurship.
I’m Clare, an autistic entrepreneur with nearly four decades of experience in both employment and self-employment. I’ve faced the struggles firsthand - the misunderstandings, the burnout and the barriers - and I know how daunting it can feel to step into entrepreneurship.
In this podcast, I offer guidance, share my experiences and answer listener letters from autistic and ADHD entrepreneurs who are figuring out their next steps. Whether you're wondering how to leave your job, start a business, or overcome the emotional challenges that come with it, this is a space for honest, warts 'n' all conversations and practical advice. As a qualified counsellor, I also explore the mental health side of entrepreneurship, because success isn’t just about strategy and creativity and innovation, it’s about well-being too.
If you’re a neurodivergent entrepreneur, this podcast is here to support you!
Let’s navigate this journey together!! 🌺🌻🌷

3 HUGE Things I Learned as an Autistic Entrepreneur - Pt2 Neurodiverse Entrepreneurship
In this episode, Clare continues to reflect on nearly 40 years of life in business as an autistic entrepreneur, sharing the hard-won truths, unexpected pivots, and deep self-discoveries that have shaped her journey.
Clare talks about two more transformative realisations:
✨ That finding the right fit is crucial when you’re neurodivergent. No more manic leaps into the next big thing just to crash out again.
✨ And that struggling with “employeeship” isn’t a personal failure. Some neurospicy minds are simply wired for entrepreneurship, where creative freedom, autonomy, and innovation shine.
If you’ve ever felt out of step with the traditional path or blamed yourself for needing something different, Clare’s story might be the mirror you didn’t know you needed. Clare offers advice for those experiencing these issues too, so that YOU can prevent yourself falling down the same neurospicy mineshafts!
