🧩 Square Peg, Round Hole

My entire career, I tried to succeed in environments that were not built for me. Open offices, bright lights, constant noise, and pressure-filled days left me drained and overwhelmed. I kept trying to adapt. I kept pushing through. I kept telling myself that if I worked hard enough, I could make myself fit.

I was a square peg trying to survive in round-hole systems.

🌍 New Country, Same Pattern

When I moved to Uruguay, I took an office job to establish income for residency. I hoped the environment would feel different. Instead, the same old pattern returned.

The workspace overwhelmed my nervous system.
I spent half my short time there on medical leave.
Then I was mugged while waiting at a bus stop after work.

When I asked for help to feel safe during my commute, I was ignored. My coworkers did not care. HR did not care. Soon after, the company ended my employment at the first opportunity.

It became clear that the problem had never been my work ethic or my dedication. The problem was the environment itself.

🔎 Clarity, Diagnosis, and a Turning Point

Around that time, I received important health information that required me to slow down and reevaluate everything. Shortly afterward, I finally received my autism diagnosis.

For the first time, my entire work history made sense.

I was not failing.
I had been trying to survive systems that were never designed for how I think or work.

In that moment, I told myself something that changed everything:

“I deserve a work life that protects me.”

🌱 Building a Work Life That Fits

I stopped trying to force myself into environments that drained me. I stopped sacrificing my well-being to fit someone else’s mold. I began shaping a work life that aligned with my strengths instead of fighting against them.

I see patterns in chaos.
I create structure naturally.
I simplify what overwhelms others.
I bring calm to complexity.
I build systems that support people, not stress them.

Across my 30-plus-year career, those strengths have always been there. And for more than a decade, I applied them in medical IT, supporting hospitals and clinicians by implementing systems that made their work easier and safer. I was never in the exam room, but I made the work behind the scenes possible.

Today, I do that same work for solopreneurs and small businesses.

🛠 Supporting the People Who Support Others

My clients care deeply about their work. They want to help people. They want to make an impact. But the operational weight of running a business pulls them away from the work they love.

They come to me tired, scattered, or stretched too thin.
They feel behind.
They feel overwhelmed.
They feel like something is always slipping.

When we work together, everything feels lighter.

They feel relief.
They feel clarity.
They feel supported.
Their confidence returns.
Their energy returns.
Their passion returns.

One client said it best:

“It was like my business was sick, and she made it well again.”

💬 Why I Do This

This work is not about hustle.
It is not about doing more.
It is about creating a business that supports the human behind it.

Autism is part of my story, and it gives me a deep understanding of structure, clarity, and systems. It also taught me the importance of honoring how you work best.

By honoring who I am, I help my clients do the same.

🌟 Where I Am Now

Today, Uruguay is home. It gives me the calm, grounded environment I need to do my best work. That balance is what I bring into every client partnership: steady support, thoughtful structure, and a sense of order that makes everything feel manageable again.
