Here's a counter-intuitive truth:
Many gifted people feel the opposite of smart. In fact, many feel dumb and like no one gets them. So they try to adjust by toning themselves down, shrinking to make themselves fit into systems that were never made for them.
​
They learn to cope — but not necessarily to thrive.
​
Over time, this can lead to feeling:
-
blocked without knowing why
-
unfulfilled despite having “everything going for you”
-
out of sync with work, relationships, or yourself
-
like your mind is your biggest obstacle
​
Often, what’s underneath this isn’t a lack of effort or ambition; it’s a different way of being wired that was never properly understood or supported.

I am figuring out if I am really gifted & I want to learn what this means
This can be such a confusing time, full of contrasting emotions, from deep recognition to sadness and fear. I created this resource to help you assess whether you're gifted, understand what it is, and what to do with this discovery.
I want to learn how to work with my gifted brain instead of be blocked by it
Living in a world designed for neurotypical people, gifted people often get stuck. This course teaches you how to make your giftedness work for you instead of against you. So you can finally go after the life you really want.
Hi! I'm Simone
I grew up feeling out of place, bored, understimulated, misunderstood, swinging between overthinking and overexertion, and eventually burning out from trying to fit into systems that weren’t built for how I work.
Things changed when I stopped asking how to adapt better and forcing myself into a single lane. Instead, I fueled my inner rebel to start designing life on my own terms (hence my brand name "The Smart Rebel").
Like many of my clients, I'm a classic case of 'gifted multi-passionate'. As a consequence, it's hard to put me in a box. Nowadays, in my life and career, I fully embrace that.
Here's a selection of the things I currently am:
​
-
Founder of The Smart Rebel
-
Cambridge University PhD candidate
-
Expedition guide in the Arctic & Antarctica
-
Passionate podcaster
-
Published author
-
Totally addicted Kizomba dancer
