Why We Built Basecamp
We're two women with ADHD who have spent a lot of time feeling a little lost.
Not lost in the sense that we have no idea who we are or where we're going. More like we've spent years trying to figure out how to live in a way that actually feels like ours.
We're still figuring it out.
Basecamp grew out of that.
It's a place for the things we're learning, noticing, questioning, trying, forgetting, and practicing again.
We're practicing paying attention.
We're practicing choosing what feels aligned instead of what we're supposed to want.
We're practicing making room for curiosity, rest, change, wonder, and the things that make us feel more alive.
And maybe most of all, we're practicing being here for our own lives while they're actually happening.
We didn't build Basecamp because we've figured out the way.
We built it because we're looking for one too.
And we thought it might be nice to have a place to gather along the way.
Meet the Founders
Two women with ADHD, figuring out how to live a life that feels more aligned, awake, and ours.
Lauren Deeley
Lauren Deeley is on a quest to live a life that carves laugh lines so deep you could hide a book in them.
She once accidentally bought—and ran—a hostel in Central America. She’s skied in Antarctica, run 100 miles solo “just for fun,” and hosts an annual Mountain Decathlon that may or may not include a naked ski down a glacier.
Lauren believes most puzzles are solvable, our definitions of success are allowed to change, and we are far more limitless than we’ve been taught to believe.
Her not-so-secret superpower? Convincing people to quit the job, question the rules, redefine success, and build the life they actually want to be living.
She’s here for the stories, the adventures, the ridiculous ideas that somehow become real—and finding out what happens when you give yourself permission to go for it.
Natalie Charlotte
Natalie has spent most of her life questioning the rules about who we’re supposed to be, how we’re supposed to parent, and what a “good life” is supposed to look like.
She’s a chronic question-asker who is far more interested in what actually works than in doing things the way they’ve always been done. She has started multiple businesses to support children and families, and she wrote a children’s book series when she was nine months pregnant. She talks to strangers, plays hockey, skis hard, and enjoys the social awkwardness and the light she brings when she’s fully herself.
Natalie believes we spend a lot of our lives trying to become better versions of ourselves when sometimes what we really need is to come back to who we already are.
Her not-so-secret superpower is helping people see the thing underneath the thing: the old rule, expectation, fear, or story quietly making their decisions for them.
She’s here for curiosity, connection, starting over, changing your mind, buzzing your head if you feel like it, and asking one question over and over: What happens when you give yourself permission?
Basecamp is what happened when our questions started becoming a place.
Things We're Practicing
Notes to ourselves, mostly.
Same support. A new home.
