Stephanie Ward

Spicy Brain Collective

Stephanie Ward is an experienced freelancer-turned-entrepreneur and founder of the Spicy Brain Collective and Spicy Brain Energy - two companies providing a range of done-for and done-with business services for those marginalised by disability and neurodivergence.

Stephanie, now leading a 7-figure empire, is an experienced virtual assistant with a broad range of skills developed across 12 years as a freelancer. First starting as a copywriter in 2012 as a way to pass her maternity leave, she has developed a plethora of services in her one-stop-shop group of companies, ranging from web design, to diary management, to Amazon KDP campaign development, to fundraising, now leading a team of 8.

We live in a time where differences are being recognised as something to be celebrated. As someone who faced more than her share of adversity, finding herself physically disabled with 2 neurodivergent diagnoses, Stephanie knows what it’s like to try ten times harder just to “match the normies”, and uses her experience to empower and inspire others.
