Intuition Unleashed with Becc Nelson: A Revolution in Personal Liberation: Neurodivergent Entrepreneurship in the Age of AI: Balancing Automation & Intuition
10/16/2025 02:00 pm PDT
In this thought-provoking episode of Intuition Unleashed: A Revolution in Personal Liberation, Becc Nelson sits down with Stephanie Ward, neurodivergent entrepreneur, ADHD advocate, and founder of The Spicy Brain Collective, to explore how artificial intelligence (AI) is reshaping business—and what that means for intuitive, creative minds.
Stephanie brings a refreshingly honest perspective on the intersection of technology, neurodivergence, and intuition. She shares how AI tools can either free us—or quietly disconnect us—from the creative essence that makes our work meaningful. Together, Becc and Stephanie unpack what it truly means to find balance between automation and authenticity in an increasingly digital world.
The Hidden Cost of Over-Automation
Many entrepreneurs turn to AI for productivity and structure—but for neurodivergent business owners, those same tools can amplify burnout, self-doubt, and perfectionism. Stephanie explains how “AI can be a supportive partner or a subtle saboteur,” depending on how consciously it’s used. This conversation dives into the emotional and energetic costs of relying too heavily on external systems instead of inner wisdom.
The Power of Intuitive Strategy
Through her work at The Spicy Brain Collective, Stephanie teaches that intuition—not analytics—is the true differentiator for neurodivergent entrepreneurs. She shares personal stories of business breakthroughs that came not from logic, but from listening to the body’s signals, trusting timing, and embracing creative flow.
“AI can draft your words,” Stephanie says, “but it can’t replace your voice.”
The Future of Neurodivergent Entrepreneurship

-
