Free virtual body doubling.
Join us for free, 90-minute virtual body doubling sessions every Tuesday and Thursday from 11:00 to 12:30 CET.
These groups are judgement-free, queer and neuro-affirming spaces where you can work independently on writing or small business tasks.
Whether you need help with accountability, task initiation, or staying focused, these groups were created to support the needs of neurodivergent brains like yours. I hope you’ll join us and find inspiration in a mutually supportive group of neurodivergent creatives.
Conquer task initiation paralysis, share your executive load, and build community with virtual body doubling.
These groups are hosted by me,
Rachel Porter (she/her), a neurodivergent editor, writer, and small business owner. My goal is to create a safe and supportive space for neurodivergent creatives to pursue their passions and accomplish their goals.
Body doubling for businesses
Tuesdays, 11:00 to 12:30 CET
What it is
This group is offered through the Neurodivergent Women’s Business Collective (NDWBC) and offers a weekly check-in for small business owners and solo-preneurs who want to build momentum for their businesses.
How it works
Every week, we'll come together to share our intentions for the week, talk through our challenges, ask for and offer feedback and suggestions, and generally support one another through our self-employment journeys.
Depending on the time remaining, we'll spend the last 45 to 60 minutes body doubling, each working independently on our own tasks.
How to sign up
If you would like to join our weekly co-working sessions, use the sign up form below, and I’ll send you the meeting link. Membership in NDWBC is not required, though it is encouraged!
Body doubling for writers
Thursdays, 11:00 to 12:30 CET
What it is
This group is intended for writers who want the external scaffolding of dedicated writing time each week. Come practice your craft in a community of neurodivergent writers.
How it works
Each week, we come together to help each other focus on our writing projects. All stages of the writing process are welcome, as are all forms and formats.
We spend the first 15 minutes checking in and setting intentions. Then, we have 60 minutes of focused work time. Halfway though, I’ll remind you to take a break to check in with the needs of your body. The final 10 minutes are used to reflect on our experiences of our time together.

FAQ
-
Body doubling involves working in the presence of another person, either in person or virtually, to help build focus and motivation. Working alongside someone else creates a natural sense of accountability and structure, while reducing the challenges of executive dysfunction.
-
Body doubling for businesses is for those of us who have chosen to pursue working for ourselves, whether through necessity or entrepreneurial spirit, but could benefit from weekly check-ins to keep us on track.
General body doubling is for anyone and everyone who struggles to get things done—common tasks include household admin, setting appointments, and paying bills, but you can show up with whatever tasks you have on your to do list that day.
Body doubling for writers is open to writers and creatives of all levels and backgrounds—even if writing isn’t your regular thing—and all topics and formats are welcome.
-
Each session begins with a 15 minute check in, to share what we’re working on and any challenges we’re facing.
Then, we get to work on our individual projects with 50 minutes of working time. Microphones are muted during this time, but the chat will be open for questions or support.
Halfway through we have a 5-10 minute break, when I remind to you stretch, drink water, and grab a snack. If you’d like to keep working through the break, that’s okay too.
Finally, we have a 10 minute wrap up to share progress, reflections, and to celebrate each other’s efforts.
Sharing is always optional, but we hope that you do!
-
Of course! Participants are welcome to join from anywhere in the world.
-
Yes! I created these groups because I need this dedicated time for my own business, admin, and writing tasks. Holding this space for you helps to create external structure for myself, so it’s a win-win!
Let’s create the things we wish existed and support each other in the process.
-
Cameras are optional but encouraged, at least for the check-in and wrap-up portions of the meeting. Being able to see one another helps to build connection and contributes to the positive energy of the group. This is a very accepting space, and I often attend from my bed on high pain days. Show up as you are, and you will be welcomed!
