Welcome to Lemonade Makers!
This interview series celebrates neurodivergent, disabled and chronically ill bloggers, creators and entrepreneurs who’ve built lives and businesses that truly work for them.
Through these conversations, I aim to shine a light on diverse experiences of authenticity, creativity and fortitude in a world that caters to people who align to the status quo.
Whether you’ve rewritten the rules, smashed barriers or found your own way to thrive, your story deserves to be heard.
What I’m looking for
I’d love to feature people who
- are neurodivergent, disabled and/or live with chronic illness
- run a blog, create content or own an online business — from which they earn a substantial income that impacts their life
- have crafted a life on their own terms, embracing their unique strengths and challenges
However, I will also consider people who do not fit neatly into this list as long as they fit the overall punchy theme of this series.
If that sounds like you or someone you know, I’d be thrilled to hear your story!
What the interviews are about
Lemonade Makers is about raw, honest storytelling. In your interview, we’ll explore topics such as
- your journey to creating a life that works for you
- how you navigate challenges and celebrate wins
- the values and passions that drive your work
- (optional) your advice for others who might be inspired by your story
I’ll also ask you my signature question: What do you do when life gives you lemons?
Your answer can be as serious, funny or creative as you want — this is a judgement-free, toxic-positivity-free zone!
What to expect
- Format: Interviews are written Q&A style (email-based)
- Time Commitment: Filling out the questions may take approx. 30-60 minutes depending on your answers; you can take your time.
- Flexibility: I can adjust the process to accommodate your needs (e.g. shorter/different questions).
Why participate?
- Share your unique story with a supportive, engaged audience
- Be part of a community that celebrates true individuality
- Receive a custom Lemonade Makers badge for your site or social media

Possible questions
Q: Do I need a huge following to participate?
Not at all! Lemonade Makers is about your story, not your stats.
Q: Can I nominate someone else?
Yes! If you know someone whose story fits, please share this page with them — or contact me to nominate them.
Q: What if I need accommodations for the interview process?
I’m happy to work with you to make this process accessible and comfortable.
For my own accommodation needs, the questions will be sent via email and you’ll have your time to respond to them. I may ask follow-up questions via email.
I do not currently do audio/video interviews, but this is something I’d love to do in the future! If you have an idea on how we could do this sooner, I’d love to know, too!
