Welcome to the BLOG

Hello, I'm Mx. Phoenix, your host, mentor, and main point of contact.

I want to start this blog by explaining the driving force behind my business, The Zero-Masking Mentors, LLC. A K12 survey reported an alarming number of high school graduates feeling unprepared for life. These statistics truly resonated with me, as I was one of those lost 18-year-olds. Graduating a semester early, I felt completely directionless. I spent years navigating a difficult journey of self-discovery and even more years teaching myself the essential skills needed to survive in the adult world—a world I quickly realized was not built for people like me.

It wasn't until my mid-thirties that I learned I had ADHD, which was later updated to AuADHD in my late thirties. This realization finally provided the answer to why I never felt like I fit in.

My personal reflections moved me to establish this business: to help younger adults find their place and equip them with the life navigation skills I had to learn the hard way.

Specifically, I aim to support those most like me—the Neuro-Queer community. I intimately understand the crushing burden of forced double-masking, the immense mental load it creates, and the way it can lead to despair and suicidal ideation.

This world desperately needs a genuinely safe space where people can fully unmask and learn. That is the fundamental purpose of The Zero-Masking Mentors: to provide that sanctuary and teach vital life skills.

Thank you for reading my first blog!

Stay Weird,

Mx. Phoenix
