Rebecca Block, PhD will change the way you work with your brain

I was grappling with burnout so severe that even the simplest decisions felt impossible, and now I have systems that keep me from reaching that point again. I took Becca's course in March 2026, and honestly it took me months to even recognize what had happened to me. In September 2025, I ran a full virtual summit almost entirely alone. I handled outreach, marketing, hosting, scripting, and sponsor sales for months, and by the end of it my body and brain had simply stopped cooperating. The structure and routines I had built my life around stopped working. I had brain fog so thick I could not think clearly, could not maintain anything, and could not figure out why I kept abandoning even the smallest tasks. I kept waiting to snap back into myself, but the energy never came and it took a long time to accept that I was genuinely exhausted at a level I had never experienced before. Something as basic as eating became a whole ordeal because I discovered in the course, it wasn't just about eating. I would get hungry, not know what to cook, dread the cleanup, overthink whether it was healthy enough, and then just not do it at all. That pattern was showing up everywhere. This course helped me see that the problem was not laziness or lack of discipline. It was decision fatigue and procrastination stacking on top of exhaustion. In Becca's course I learned tools to make those decisions in advance or during a calm moment instead of a depleted one. Happy to share that my energy has returned and that my spicy brain can now more easily get stuff done!

Each session of this course provides actionable tools and experiment ideas that can be quickly implemented with low stakes to solve challenges you're experiencing. However, the most valuable part for me both times I've taken it was to have a group of people to work with who understand my neurodivergent experience and are navigating similar challenges. Even more than any tools, those connections and real-time processing supports have been invaluable.

This was the first intentional space where I didn’t feel like I had to translate myself to be understood. Becca "gets it" like so few others do. The content on its own is strong and relatable and delivered in a way that makes it easily understood, but what really made it actionable was the chance to work through it as a group and think out loud with people who process the world in similar ways. That combination is super powerful, and when it comes to change and improvement and validation and encouragement, it really is irreplaceable.

I struggled mightily with task switching despite the fact that my job demands jumping from one thing to another almost hourly. This so often led to feeling the need for massive blocks of time to get bigger projects done because I really needed to get into the zone to do so. Becca offered concrete techniques--like physically leaving my desk and stepping outside for a few minutes even between short tasks--that really helped me accomplish more in shorter blocks of time. This course is well worth it for anyone who wants to understand how to take advantage of their spicy brains to achieve big things.

I met Becca through Tiktok, and related strongly to her immediately. We are both parents and partners, as well as we are both neurospicy and every time I seemed to bring up a problem she related to it as well as offered suggestions of what she or others have done. Becca is incredibly knowledgeable, adaptable, and welcoming to all types of personalities. Her kindness is what made it possible for me to take this class as she helped me get a scholarship which I will be forever grateful! While taking her class I noticed a lot of things but here are a few; I really love the small class size, makes it feel more manageable as well as probably less self conscious for most people. She created a document connected to the class through google docs, which if you are neurodivergent, we tend to lose things that we need, or notes that we were taking, so that was incredibly helpful for me. I love her re-frame of failures into learnings, “Lets talking about our wins and our learnings for a little bit.” Maven was relatively easy to use in terms of going back to it each week and if you are someone who talks badly to themselves or is mean to themselves, I feel this class is perfect for you! We started with the stories that we tell ourselves and how we can dissect them to get to the root of what is actually happening, instead of what we tell ourselves, or our brains make us believe. The few things I will directly be taking from this class are: Forming experiments to be able to see progress in a measurable way, the Zeigernack Effect, I really want to read meditation for mortals, use the mental bike rack more and cutting things into small manageable pieces, understanding the difference between multitasking and monotasking, and the phrase, “I am doing the best I can with the resources and knowledge that I have at hand.” The only negatives are: The time slot wasn’t good for me as a parent with a very young child, his bus would come home anywhere from 12-1 which of course, was exactly where the class was placed lol. But Becca NEVER made me feel bad, welcomed me to participate as much as I could, which was a lot less pressure than any other class I’ve ever done, and when I only did some of the assignments I was able to not put too much pressure on myself for that part because she made it more about the discussions and actual application of what we discussed. Other than that, for me PERSONALLY, I am someone who has deleted negative self-talk from my programming, so I found myself getting really caught on the stories part and trying to find them that I would distract myself from what she was actually asking, or from what the topic in front of us was that week. If you’re NOT someone who is negative to themselves often, this class could go either way. Previous to me having a baby and my entire personality adapting, would have been a gold mine for me.
