Group Coaching
You don’t need fixing. You need space to figure sh*t out your way.
That’s where Misfits Coaching comes in: Real talk. Real support. Real transformation.
Misfits Group Coaching – Fall 2025
A brave, relational space where queer, neurodivergent, and otherwise‑misfit creatives learn, heal, and build momentum, together.
Twelve‑week digital group coaching for misfit makers who want community, coaching, and creative fire. You’re home, now let’s make weird, beautiful things together.
VISION & PURPOSE
Why We Gather
Feel less alone. Share space with people who get you.
Lead yourself with compassion. Build nervous‑system care and anti‑perfectionist planning habits.
Ignite creative flow. Borrow inspiration and tools from wildly different processes.
Leave with allies. The cohort becomes your ongoing peer network beyond graduation.
WHO THIS IS FOR
Adults (20‑50) who are queer, trans, neurodivergent, sensitive, rebellious—or simply don’t fit the mold.
Makers, writers, designers, activists, entrepreneurs—or anyone ready to reignite creativity.
People craving community, accountability, and coaching grounded in equity and neuro‑affirming practice.

Connection & Common Ground - Buddy Board inside Circle to match with peers.- Returning members volunteer as Greeters for newcomers.- Extra time for interest‑based mingling. Play & Creativity - Alternate weeks feature Play Sprints (digital doodles, reverse‑thinking games). Learning & Inspiration - Topic‑based micro‑panels (e.g., self‑employment journeys).- End‑of‑session Slido poll feeds next‑week topics.
