Mask Harder, B*tch | Effects of Manifestation and Spirituality Trends on Neurodivergent Minds

Nobody warned you that the alignment would be exhausting.

You made the vision board. You said the affirmations. You let go of scarcity, trusted the process, and somewhere in the middle of your third gratitude journal you started to wonder if the universe had ever actually met your nervous system. Because your nervous system had opinions. Loud ones. And none of them sounded like alignment.

Mask Harder B*tch is for the neurodivergent reader who has spent real time and real money in the manifestation and spiritual wellness world and come out the other side still forty dollars short on rent and significantly more exhausted than when they started. It is for the brain that already clocked three hundred variables before the gratitude journal came out. It is for the person who was told they were blocked by someone who happened to sell the unblocking.

This is not an anti-spirituality book. It is an anti-gaslighting one.

Across twelve chapters, FrankiVerse Cafe host Franki walks through the specific and well-documented ways that mainstream manifestation culture misses the neurodivergent nervous system entirely — and what actually works instead. Part cultural critique, part practical reframe, part interdimensional coffee shop conversation, this book takes your nervous system seriously, locates the difficulty in the design rather than the person, and issues a formal reassignment notice to anyone who has been working the wrong job description for too long.

Your nervous system is not broken. It is overqualified and under-resourced. There is a difference and it matters.

The café is open. No affirmation homework. No performance required.

Welcome to the reassignment.
