Diagnosed recently with both ADHD and autism, Cat Orsini’s candid storytelling takes us on a journey from feeling like an outsider to building a thriving business based on authentic relationships, automation with heart, and radical self-acceptance.

In this interview, Cat reveals her unique approach to business—one that centers curiosity, genuine connection, and meeting people where they are (with a little tech magic to make life easier and more fun).

You’ll hear not just the triumphs, but also the complex, sometimes messy moments of “unmasking” and designing a business that fits your actual brain and values, not someone else’s idea of success.

Episode Highlights:

Strategic Relationship Marketing vs. Automation

Cat breaks down why automation and relationship-building aren’t mutually exclusive—and how smart systems can let neurodivergent business owners focus on authentic, meaningful connections.

Attract, Don’t Chase

Move over “hustle culture.” Cat and Diann discuss how building genuine relationships and letting people self-select nurtures business without the creepiness or pressure of hard selling.

Neurodivergent Thriving in Business

How Cat’s ADHD and autism traits fuel her ability to notice patterns, create unique solutions, and support her clients in efficiently reaching their goals.

Automating the Human Touch

Learn how emails, follow-ups, and event workflows can be automated, freeing up energy for one-on-one connections with those who are ready for deeper engagement.

Ethical Reciprocity & Non-Bro Marketing

Cat outlines how heart-centered reciprocity builds lasting relationships and why neurotypical tactics often miss the mark for neurodivergent individuals.
