As a gifted communicator and community builder, Dr. C’s platform Divergenthood has gained significant traction, reaching over 341,000 followers and 3.7 million likes on TikTok and 9,000+ subscribers on Substack. Through her work, she offers insights on unmasking, the sacred relationship between neurodivergence and spirituality, deconstructing internalized oppression, grounding practices, and accessible tools to strengthen the mind-body connection.

After more than 15 years of success in higher education, where she led students and institutions to think differently, build community, and align with purpose, a late ADHD diagnosis sparked a profound journey of self-discovery and spiritual awakening. In 2025, she stepped fully into her calling as an entrepreneur, writer, and intuitive guide, dedicated to helping neurodivergent individuals unmask their gifts and live in alignment with their truth.

Chelsia has been featured in major media outlets including ABC, The New York Times, and Shondaland for her neurodivergence, identity, and healing insights.
