Show up bold, stay authentic, and keep it Ausome… even when life gets messy.
Alyece Smith is a dynamic business coach, published author, and TEDx speaker who has become a go-to mentor for entrepreneurs with ADHD. She is the founder of the brand and community known as Socially Ausome and leads the “ADHDPRENEUR Academy™”, bringing ADHD-friendly systems to entrepreneurs who are tired of forcing strategies that don’t fit how their brains actually work.
With thousands of lives impacted through her work, Alyece supports neurodivergent business owners in building sales systems that align with their unique brains—so that focus becomes easier, momentum sticks, and growth is repeatable. Her journey is rooted in personal experience: after years of trying traditional business advice that never seemed to click, she realized that the problem wasn’t her—it was the system. That insight led her to create frameworks designed specifically for ADHD brains.
Alyece is also the author of “What Now, Mama?”, a book born out of her family’s experience navigating autism, and she channels that empathy and purpose into her coaching and advocacy. In short: Alyece isn’t asking you to hustle harder. She’s building a different path—one that honors how you think, how you work, and how you grow.
How Things Started
Alyece spent years climbing ladders that never felt like they were built for her. After her son Caiden was diagnosed with Autism, everything changed. She needed flexibility, purpose, and a way to build a business that fit her family …not the other way around. That’s when Socially Ausome was born. What started as a side hustle helping small businesses with social media grew into a full digital marketing agency and brand coaching company.
As a business born out of Covid, being home 24/7 and living online opened her eyes… “I started seeing women who looked just like me making real money from home, and it hit me that it was possible. Up until then, I honestly thought I’d never be able to give my son all the therapies and support he needed. Covid forced me to get creative with his therapies, and that’s when the seed for entrepreneurship was planted. I didn’t leave my job until 2020, but Covid was when the vision really started.”
Naturally, there has been lots of learning along the way. You’re Kind of a Big Deal by Erin King, Atomic Habits by James Clear, and podcasts like Online Marketing Made Easy by Amy Porterfield have all played a huge role in shaping her mindset and business strategy.
The Escapee Life
Like most escapees, Alyece initially tried to do everything herself. Once she learned to delegate, automate, and trust her systems, everything got easier and more profitable. Alyece has learned to start simple. While you don’t need all the fancy tools … you need systems. AI is one of those tools. She uses it daily to help clients create smarter systems, faster content, and better customer experiences. Instead of fearing it, Alyece teaches entrepreneurs how to use it to simplify and scale their businesses without burnout. She recommends that you build real relationships, show up authentically, and use social media to serve, not just sell.
Today she is able to design her days around her family, not a time clock. “I can be there for my kids, show up for my community, and still run a business that changes lives.” Alyece is workiing on a book Flow-First Thinking and expanding her nonprofit, Caiden’s Corner, which supports Autism families across Mississippi. Like most of us she is trying to balance it all … business, motherhood, advocacy, and growth — without losing herself in the process.
