FAQS
You’ve got questions, we’ve got answers.
WHAT EXACTLY IS WHELMED CLUB?
🪩
WHELMED Club is a work club for ADHD women, more specifically the female founders, freelancers and entrepreneurs amongst us. WHELMED Club offers community, accountability, and a space that just gets it. Built for busy women with busy brains, we are dedicated to creating a Hub where ADHD minds can thrive.
WHO IS WHELMED CLUB FOR?
🧠
WHELMED Club is an inclusive space for women and femmes who are looking for a place where they can prioritise their goals, ambitions, and careers without losing their whimsy or that feeling of being one of the girls. Whether you’re an entrepreneur, team leader, freelancer, remote worker, student, or something else that requires a bit of support to get shit done, WHELMED Club is here for you.
DO I NEED AN ADHD DIAGNOSIS TO JOIN?
🌶️
Not at all! Formal diagnosis? Hi. Self-diagnosed? Come on in. “I think that could be me but I’m not sure”? Welcome. Whatever seasoning you brain’s been blessed with, we’re happy to have you. Our entire premise is created to best support our ADHD girlies, but having ADHD is not a pre-requisite to be here.
WHAT’S INCLUDED WITH A WHELMED CLUB MEMBERSHIP?
✨
WHELMED Club offers three different types of memberships that give tiered access to our Hub.
The Community membership is free, gives you access to the main channel within the Connect Discord server, and offers you PAYG sessions at a 20% discount.
The OG membership is our all-in paid membership, where you get access to the full Connect Discord server, all sessions (both virtual and IRL), and other new features that are coming soon to The Hub. The OG Virtual offers everything that the OG membership does with the exception of our in-person (IRL) sessions.
You can explore the different memberships and join here.
DO I HAVE TO ATTEND ALL SESSIONS?
🧡
Not at all! The beauty of WHELMED Club is it’s designed to be used on your terms. Whether you join us for every session, make a Virtual part of your Monday routine, or just pop in every now and then, you make the rules. Plans and needs change, so just know that there’s no pressure, no judgement, and no wrong way to use the Club’s features.
WHAT ARE THE FOCUS SESSIONS LIKE?
🪩
FOCUS sessions are what made WHELMED Club become a thing. We run two timed blocks of deep focus, split by a short break for chatting, coffee, bathroom breaks, and so on. Each standard FOCUS session achieves 90 minutes of focus, which is a perfect amount of time to finally get stuck in on a task you’ve been avoiding, gain some momentum to start your work day as you mean to go on, or wrap something you’re this 🤏 close to wrapping up. For those looking for more lengthy focus, the monthly WHELMED Workday runs from 10am to 6pm and is comprised of seven individual focus blocks, with breaks including one for lunch.
HOW DO THE IRL SESSIONS WORK?
🧠
FOCUS IRL follows a similar set-up to that of our Virtual FOCUS sessions, with two core timed blocks with a short break between them. We meet at our location, grab a coffee and a pastry, settle with our work, then chat amongst ourselves in the down time. No pressure to be a social butterfly or to perform, no need to be “on”, or anyone other than yourself. It’s just you and your to-do list with some quiet accountability, and a group of women showing up for the exact same reason.
CAN I JOIN IF I’M NOT BASED IN LONDON?
🌶️
Yes! We launched an OG Virtual membership for people who want all that WHELMED Club has to offer without having to be based in London. You can find out more about it here.
CAN I CANCEL MY MEMBERSHIP?
✨
If for whatever reason WHELMED Club isn’t for you, cancelling your membership is easy! Community memberships are free and so therefore don’t have the option in your account settings to cancel, but you can drop us a message at hello@whelmedclub.com and we can remove you manually. If you’re a paying OG or OG Virtual member, you can head to your settings whilst logged into The Hub and cancel from there. You can find our cancellation policy in our Terms & Conditions.
