Email Guidance

Open airmail envelope with blue and green stripes

One-to-one support over email.

This is a new offering for gentle guidance at your own pace.

No Zooms. No scheduling. No time zone math.

After years of trying to offer support in neuronormative ways I am neuroqueering the process. Ask me about creative projects, neurodivergence, self publishing, home education, or chronic illness.


How it Works

Email your question to hello@sarahshotts.com.

It’s that simple.

I’ll respond with a thoughtful answer with multiple ideas to explore.

Your first email is free. If you’d like further support you can sign up for five more back and forth emails (at your own pace) for $100.

Responses will come within one week. Time will vary based on my capacity.

I can offer support in…

  • Creative Ecosystems

Everything in your life is part of your creative practice. Bring balance and inspiration into your process through my creative ecosystem framework.

  • Neurodivergent Supports

I’ve spent a decade diving into research on neurodivergence after my autism diagnosis. We can work together to find supports, tools, and accommodations for you or your family. I have particular experience with sensory processing (seeking and avoidance), focus tools, and navigating conflicting access needs in neurodivergent families.

  • Self Publishing & Crowdfunding

I’ve successfully crowdfunded four self published books and created two free courses to share my experience. If you’d like direct support as you navigate publishing a book or crowdfunding a creative project I’m happy to help.

  • Living with Chronic Illness

I have experience managing dynamic disability, chronic illness, and fluctuating energy levels. I can’t offer medical advice, but sometimes we just need to talk to someone who “gets it.” We can talk about setting boundaries, accepting accommodations, and finding support tools. My own diagnosis include: POTS, hEDS, and MCAS.

  • Home Education

I’m a second gen home educator with expertise in neurodivergence and twice exceptional gifted kids — both as student and teacher. We can talk about educational resources, supports for neurodivergent kids, and how to make home educating work for you.


What it’s not.

This is NOT…

  • Business Coaching

While I’m happy to support professional artists and creative business owners I am not a business coach. I am not a good fit for financial or growth related goals. My focus is on supporting creative ecosystems — not making more money.

  • Therapy

This is peer to peer support based on my own lived experience. I’m not a therapist, doctor, or mental health professional.

  • All the Answers

I can offer ideas and support, but finding and implementing solutions will come down to you.
