06 Taking action with Access to Work
Welcome to the Be Neuroinclusive Club podcast, the show for and with freelancers and small business owners who recognise that people often think, learn and respond in different ways.
Today’s guest is Rachel Clayton
Rachel runs Fruition for Business, and works with ADHD business owners to take action and make changes so that they can create a fulfilling, flexible business that gives them the freedom they’ve been striving for.
Rachel has ADHD and dyslexia and understands how frustrating it can be to not take action. She works with clients and their executive function to help make their projects and plans come to fruition.
Tune in today to learn about Rachel as well as her thoughts on neurodivergence and:
wanting to run her own business from a very young age
comparing life now to the 9-5 she had earlier in her career
flexibility versus boundaries - read more on that here
the reminders, little phone widgets and software that supports her life and business
her experience of the Access to Work process and the difference having a funded coach (that’s me - btw!) and a VA support team is making to both her business and life.
Thinking about working with me?
Hi - I’m Victoria Tretis
An introverted, HSP-thinking, certified coach working with corporates, individuals and via Access to Work.
I work with neurodivergent adults who feel stuck and overwhelmed in the chaos of daily life. They want to design and achieve their version of success (I don’t believe there is one right way to achieve this).
Or, sometimes, I work with line managers of neurodivergent employees who want to better understand and support their team members.
My work is not about rich people getting richer.
Instead, sessions are centred around clients wanting to better understand themselves and others better.If you’d like to find out more, feel free to get in touch or book a call.

This is a wellness supplement brand I absolutely adore and have been a massive fan of for well over a year now.
They combine ancient plant wisdom with modern science to create adaptogenic herb blends to help me focus, calm my anxiety, and switch off my brain at the end of the day. All through nature's healing powers.
The team's been super generous and given us all an extra discount on their Neuro Balance Set - all info here. AND 20% off other items when you use code Victoria20.
In the set:
Focus & Clarity is a natural way to aid mental clarity, memory and concentration with lion’s mane and holy basil. I keep a packet on my desk for when my focus feels wobbly.
Calm & Collected with ashwagandha and lion’s mane is the perfect companion to help me keep my cool whenever my anxiety calls. I'm getting better at identifying the triggers but this is a firm favourite in my personal toolkit of coping strategies.
Oh, and they’re lovely, lovely people running a business with a heart. This aligns so nicely with my own mission to do good work with good people and have a good impact.
