Welcome To Spoonieprenuer

Success, one spoon at a time.

Building a business is hard.

Building one while trying to manage a chronic illness is a completely different experience. Not only is it hard, but at times it feels impossible. 

As a spoonie, we understand because we are entrepreneurs too. We are here for those whose bodies don’t fit into “hustle culture.” We are also here for those who no longer want to force themselves into systems that weren’t built with them in mind. 

In our world, success is real. It moves at the pace of real bodies, real rhythms, and real life,

Our Mission

Spooniepreneur exists to empower entrepreneurs with chronic illnesses to build sustainable, meaningful businesses at their own pace. We believe that success is not defined by hustle, speed, or endless productivity — it’s defined by alignment, accessibility, and honoring the body you live in.

About Us

What is Spoonieprenuer?

Spoonieprenuer is a highly supportive community with a resource hub for entrepreneurs who are living with:

 

  • Chronic illnesses
  • Chronic pain
  • Unrelenting fatigue
  • Unpredictable energy

  • You can build a successful/meaningful business

As a spoonieprenuer, we believe that you have the ability to achieve just like anyone else. It may be at a slower or more personalized pace, but you will achieve.

Why This Matters

When most business advice is given, it’s assumed that there is an unlimited amount of energy. The three main points preached are:

  • Work harder
  • Push through

 

Never stopThe problem isn’t ambition. The issue is that energy and bandwidth often fluctuate the moment you wake up.

The great thing is that spoonieprenuer offers another way. One rooted in pacing, self-trust, and systems that clearly work WITH your body instead of working against it.
