About Jackie - Business support for ADHD, autistic and neurodivergent founders in Glasgow and across the UK

I’m Jackie. Chief Brain Unjangler.

I help ADHD, autistic, dyslexic and neurodivergent founders do the bits that get them stuck. 


I’m neurodivergent too. 

So when you say “I know what I need to do, I just can’t do it” I actually get it. 

I’ve built businesses while battling executive function chaos, perfectionism, and that invisible load that stacks up when you’re the whole team. 


Your Business Bestie exists because I couldn’t find the kind of support I needed. Flexible, human and very practical -without the added shame.

A wee bit about me

I’ve successfully run three businesses, so I know what it’s like to be the one holding everything together.


I founded and ran a social enterprise and charity for 10 years. We employed 10 staff, worked across 3 local authorities and earned over 80% of our income through selling our services, which meant I spent a lot of time writing tenders, winning work in education and keeping the whole thing running.

I’ve also built and sold a business, and now I’m running this one, 'Your Business Bestie'.

So I know the stresses that come with running a small business, the money worries, the constant juggling, the feeling that everything lands on you and there’s nobody to hand it to.

And as ND folk, we tend to pile even more on ourselves. We hold ourselves to impossibly high standards, beat ourselves up when the “easy” stuff doesn’t get done, push through burnout cos we think we should be able to cope, and spend so much energy trying to look like we’ve got it all together that there’s nothing left for the actual work.

I’ve been there, more times than I can count, and that’s exactly why I do things the way I do now, gently, practically and without any shame.

I’m a trained Therapeutic Forest Practitioner too, so if you’d rather get outside for a walk and talk things through, we can do that.

All of that has taught me that business works best when it’s about people and community, looking out for each other and doing good work well.

Let's Explore How We Can Work Together

What I’m here for


When emails, admin, follow-ups, and systems block your momentum, it’s not because you’re failing.
It’s because your business has outgrown your capacity.

I’m here to:

  • take the pressure off
  • help you finish the things that stall
  • sit with you through body doubling sessions so you can actually get started
  • help you work out what to focus on next
  • take on the tasks that drain you
  • be the calm voice in your corner when your brain says “nope”


What this is (and what it isn't)


What this is (and what it isn’t)

This isn’t traditional VA work.
And it’s not consultancy from a distance.
It’s a partnership.
Someone who sees what’s hard, doesn’t judge it, and helps you through it with kindness and clarity.






If you’ve ever thought “Why can’t I just do the thing?” you’re exactly who this is for.
