Sustainable Marketing for Neurodivergent Entrepreneurs (Systems + Soul with Polly Pollock)
Sustainable Marketing for Neurodivergent Entrepreneurs (Systems + Soul with Polly Pollock)
Welcome to the Soulprism Podcast — blog-style, for those of you who love to read your way into resonance.
This conversation with Polly Pollock felt like a deep exhale for every neurospicy, soul-led entrepreneur who has ever tried to force themselves into marketing systems that were never designed for them.
Polly is a business and marketing mentor for neurodivergent online entrepreneurs — and her work lives at the intersection of strategy, nervous system safety, and sustainability. No hustle theatre. No fake scarcity. No “post 30 times a day and hope for the best.”
Just systems that actually support real humans.
This conversation felt like a permission slip we all need.
Why Traditional Marketing Doesn’t Work for Neurodivergent Entrepreneurs
Most mainstream business advice was built for the neurotypical mind:
Linear. Logic-driven. Output-focused. Chronos timed.
But neurodivergent entrepreneurs?
We lead from intuition, creativity, sensitivity, pattern recognition, and heart. Kairos Timed.
As Polly shared, the same structures many of us struggled with in school, work, or corporate life resurface in business — and if we don’t consciously redesign them, burnout is inevitable.
The answer isn’t “no structure.”
It’s different structure.
Structure that holds creativity instead of suffocating it.
Systems + Soul (Not Either/Or)
One of my favorite threads in this episode was this nugget of wisdom:
"Running your business purely from inspiration is anxiety-inducing.
Running it purely from systems is soul-crushing."
The sweet spot is both.
Polly helps her clients build businesses where:
Systems support energy (not override it)
Planning creates freedom (not pressure)
Creativity has a container to actually land in the world
This is where sustainable success lives — especially for neurodivergent entrepreneurs who are tired of swinging between chaos and collapse.
Visibility, Community, Sales — In That Order
One of the most grounding pieces of this conversation was Polly’s breakdown of what actually moves the needle:
Sustainable Visibility
(Not virality. Not obsession with metrics. Visibility that fits your nervous system.)Community Building
Real connection. Real resonance. People who feel you — not just see you.Sales as a Byproduct
Not pressure. Not manipulation. Just clarity + trust.
This alone dismantles so much outdated advice that tells entrepreneurs to “just post more” — without any regard for energy, sustainability, or humanity.
Side note from Tammy Mack - With Uranus moving into Gemini in 2026, the AI and social media spaces are going to be really noisy....until they break! So this is really good advice, not to play or compete with AI and algorithms. Find your own pocket of space and lead from there.
The SPICE Method (Marketing Without Manipulation)
Polly also shared her SPICE content rhythm, designed specifically for neurodivergent brains:
S — Storytelling
P — Perspective & Point of View
I — Inspiration
C — Connection & Call-In (not call-out)
E — Education
Notice what’s missing?
No fear-based hooks.
No trauma mining.
No fake urgency.
This is empathy-led marketing, not pain-point manipulation — something I talk about often in Rise of the Soulpreneur and throughout my work.
It’s marketing that regulates instead of dysregulates.
Big Ideas Need Containers (Not Graveyards)
Another powerful moment in this conversation was around idea overload.
Neurodivergent entrepreneurs don’t lack ideas — we drown in them.
Polly named what so many of us experience:
Notebooks full of brilliant ideas that never get embodied.
Her solution?
Gentle, flexible quarterly planning — choosing a few ideas to bring to life, instead of drowning under the weight of all of them at once.
Ideas don’t need suppression.
They need structure that respects energy.
The Future of Marketing Is Nervous-System Safe
We also went deep into where marketing is heading:
AI can give information
AI cannot give transformation
People are craving safety, resonance, and credibility
The era of ego-driven, fear-based marketing is collapsing.
What’s rising instead is relationship, experience, and trust.
People don’t want to be rushed.
They want to feel safe saying yes.
And that?
That’s where soul-led, neurodivergent entrepreneurs actually thrive.
