📋 THE DOING CLUB COMMUNITY GUIDELINES

Sep 29 (edited) • 9. 🛡️ COMMUNITY SAFETY

This is our sacred, SAFE space for ND brains who want to take action, explore, and give themselves permission to change direction when needed.

TL/DR - Just be kind! No judging or shaming allowed.

🚨 ZERO TOLERANCE POLICY - NON-NEGOTIABLE

This community has ZERO TOLERANCE for:

❌ Hate speech or discrimination of any kind

❌ Racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, ableism

❌ Shaming anyone for their struggles, pace, or choices

❌ Toxic positivity or "just try harder" advice

❌ Judgment about someone's interests, pivots, or decisions

❌ Unsolicited advice without permission

❌ Dismissing or minimizing someone's ND experience

KINDNESS IS THE ONLY OPTION HERE.

Anyone violating these standards will be immediately removed - no warnings, no second chances. We protect this space fiercely because many of our members have been hurt elsewhere.

💜 THIS IS A SAFE SPACE FOR:

✅ All neurotypes (ADHD, autism, AuDHD, and questioning)

✅ All gender identities and expressions

✅ All sexual orientations

✅ All races, ethnicities, and cultures

✅ All body types and abilities

✅ All income levels and life situations

✅ All learning styles and communication needs

💜 OUR CORE BELIEFS:

We believe that:

🌟 Taking action teaches you more than planning ever will

🌟 You have permission to try things and not love them

🌟 Changing direction is wisdom, not failure

🌟 "I learned this isn't for me" is a victory

🌟 Your creative journey is allowed to wander

🌟 Progress includes pivoting when something doesn't fit

🌟 You're not broken - you just need different support

🌟 Every person deserves respect, kindness, and belonging

💜 HOW WE SUPPORT EACH OTHER:

When someone's exploring:

• "What draws you to try this?"

• "How does it feel when you imagine doing it?"

• "What's the smallest step you could take?"

When someone's stuck:

• "Are you stuck because it's hard, or because it's not you?"

• "What if we just tried it once to see how it feels?"

• "You don't have to commit to this forever"

When someone pivots:

• "What did you learn about yourself from trying?"

• "It's brave to honor what you discovered"

• "What's calling to you now?"

When someone "quits" something:

• "You TRIED! That's the whole point!"

• "What was valuable about exploring this?"

• "You're not a quitter, you're a learner"

💜 WHAT WE CELEBRATE:

✅ Trying something new, even briefly

✅ Discovering what you don't love

✅ Changing directions based on new information

✅ Finishing things that truly serve you

✅ Releasing things that don't fit anymore

✅ Learning about yourself through action

✅ Being honest about struggles and pivots

✅ Supporting others with genuine kindness

✅ Being authentically yourself

❌ WHAT DOESN'T BELONG HERE:

❌ Any form of discrimination or hate

❌ Shaming anyone for any reason

❌ Endless research without trying

❌ Pressure to finish everything you start

❌ "Stick with it no matter what" mentality

❌ Judgment about exploration and pivoting

❌ "Just push through it" advice

❌ Productivity shaming of any kind

❌ Toxic positivity or inspiration porn

❌ Unsolicited advice or "fixing" people

💜 COMMUNICATION GUIDELINES:

✅ ASK before giving advice: "Would you like suggestions or just support?"

✅ USE "I" statements: "What worked for me was..." not "You should..."

✅ RESPECT boundaries: If someone says no advice, honor that

✅ ASSUME good intentions while still addressing harmful impact

✅ APOLOGIZE sincerely if you mess up - we all learn together

❌ NEVER assume someone's:

❌ Diagnosis, abilities, or challenges

❌ Financial situation or resources

❌ Family dynamics or support systems

❌ Medication or treatment choices

❌ Gender, pronouns, or identity

❌ Capacity or energy levels

💜 REPORTING & SAFETY:

If you see anything that makes this space unsafe:

• Message me, Liza, directly immediately

• Use the report function in Skool

• Don't engage with harmful content - let me handle it

• Trust your instincts - if something feels off, report it

I will respond to safety concerns within 24 hours maximum, usually much faster.

💜 GENTLE REMINDERS:

• Not every hobby needs to become a business

• Not every project needs to be completed

• Not every interest needs to be permanent

• Learning what you DON'T love is just as valuable

• Your creative journey is allowed to wander

• Action teaches you things sitting still never will

• You belong here exactly as you are

💜 COMMUNITY VALUES:

We're building a space that's:

• Safe for vulnerability and authenticity

• Encouraging without toxic positivity

• Supportive of exploration and pivoting

• Celebrating of all forms of progress

• Understanding of ND brain differences

• Focused on self-compassion and growth

• Radically inclusive and kind

• Protective of marginalized voices

Remember: These guidelines protect our community. If something isn't working for our safety and inclusion, we'll adapt. Because creating a genuinely safe space is our highest priority. 🛡️
