When I left my last job, I did not have a roadmap or a runway. What I had was a neurodiverse daughter who needed four therapy sessions a week and a partner who supported my decision to leave.

A body that was burning out from years of performance and a mind that could no longer tolerate shrinking to fit into other people’s systems.

I started writing because I needed to make sense of my own story. I shared my truth in public, and slowly, it began to resonate, not with everyone, but with the right ones.

That is when I developed the M.I.N.E. framework because I realised that every great piece of content, whether a post, podcast, or digital product, follows the same emotional and intellectual rhythm of Marker, Insight, Narrative and Extension.

It is how I turn raw thoughts into refined trust, how I built my one-person business, and it is what I teach creators and founders to do every week inside Human Algorithm.

Let’s walk through it.
