🐇 Tame the Tangent Lab 🐇

Turn your distractions into momentum — without losing your weird, wonderful brain along the way.

tame the tangent

Tangents are one of those things I constantly struggled with…and no…not the whole geometry, sin, cosine, tangent nonsense. I loved that shit.

I’m talking about tangents…the distractions…the rabbit holes.

Those times when you’re supposed to be…ya know…doing the damn thing…and suddenly, you’re seven layers deep into researching ancient Roman plumbing systems or watching videos of raccoons washing grapes.

Before you know it…poof! Two hours gone.

Your to-do list? Still untouched.

Your shame and anxiety levels? Maxed out.

I obviously don’t know you and your specific brain…yet…but maybe this sounds a tad familiar…

  • You’ve got a graveyard of half-finished projects gathering dust.
  • Your to-do list multiplies like gremlins at midnight.
  • You want to get stuff done… but every time you start, a rabbit hole swallows you whole. With that damn white rabbit laughing at you the whole way down…while Grace Slick from Jefferson Airplane sings at you the entire time.

Cue the guilt spiral.

Why can’t I just focus like everyone else??

You don’t need to. There’s absolutely. Nothing. Wrong. With You.

You can make those tangents work for you.

Now, you can actually listen to Grace when she tells you to “feed your head”…

You can chase tangents without guilt — because now you know how to weave them back into your bigger goals.

Your projects and your values actually line up, so the things you finish actually matter to you.

You’re still curious and playful and weird — but now your tangents fuel progress instead of pulling you off track.

Hey There! I’m Sarah Bowser 👋🏼

I’m your quirky, nerdy “get your shit together” coach who knows firsthand what it’s like to live with a beautifully distracted brain. Between my AuDHD brain, autoimmune disease “wonderfulness”, and a family that keeps me on my toes, I’ve had to find systems that actually work for folks like us.

I’ve tried to shove my own tangents into the proverbial broom closet for so many years…and that just made everything an even more chaotic mess than before. So I figured out how I can tame them for myself, how to navigate them on the journey I was already on.

I don’t do cookie-cutter productivity hacks. I experiment, adapt, and create tools that let weird brains thrive.

And that’s why I built something special: a half-day live workshop where your tangents aren’t the enemy — they’re the secret weapon.

Welcome, my friend, to…

Tame the Tangent Lab

This isn’t just another “sit quietly and listen” workshop.

Nope.

This is a four-hour interactive intensive where we get to know your brain, experiment, play, and build your custom roadmap together.

And on Saturday, October 25, we’ll gather live (virtually — pajamas welcome) where you’ll:
  • Learn how your brain actually looks at and work with tangents
  • Understand how your brain can bring those tangents back to and apply – in real time – to your original goals
  • Have multiple opportunities throughout the four hours to get live, hot seat coaching with me to talk through where you find yourself stuck in the mud, tangled in a web, or just completely lost
  • Get to understand how other people with brains that may be similar to yours are navigating their way through their own rabbit holes and tangents – and be able to connect with them live to talk through your sticking points
  • Leave with a personalized action plan that fits your brain, instead of fighting it.

And yes, you’ll get the replay – so if life (or your brain) throws a curveball, you revisit anytime.

Here’s what you get inside the lab:

Live, interactive training

Learn how to turn your scattered, rabbit-hole brain into a side-quest mapping expert

Hands-On Exercises & Templates

Map out your own distraction-proof plan in real time

Live Hot Seat Coaching

Bring your real-life tangents, and I’ll help you make them work for you

Replay Access

Revisit whenever your brain needs a reset

By the end of the Lab, you’ll walk away with:

1

A clear, flexible plan…

…for your number 1 project. No more graveyard of half-finished ideas.

2

A kinder relationship with your brain.

You’ll finally stop beating yourself up for the way you work.

3

Tangent-friendly rituals…

…that you can actually stick with – because they’re fun, not forced.

4

Momentum you can feel.

The kind where you look at your project and go, “Holy crap, I’m really doing this!”

Listen, I know the fear of your brain saying…on a loop…“What if I fall off track again? What if this is just another system that won’t stick?”

Let me say this loud and clear: this Lab isn’t about forcing yourself into a productivity box. I couldn’t stick to one if I tried (and lord, I’ve tried).

This is about building something that bends with you, flexes with you, and sometimes dances in circles with you. Because that’s how real, neurodivergent brains — our brains — work.

I’ll guide you with humor, compassion, and a little bit of nerdy irreverence. You’ll leave knowing you’re not broken. You’re brilliant — and you’ve got the tools to prove it.

  • I found this class a breath of fresh air as it relates to my relationship with going on tangents and down rabbit holes. I will no longer be viewing this tendency of mine as a deficit. On the contrary, I see it now as a strength I am able to utilize in productive ways. How freeing is that shift?

As a bonus, you’ll also get:

The Tangent Re-Entry Map

— a simple, nerdy, easily customizable template that helps you jump back into focus after a distraction, without the shame spiral. (Because yes, you’ll get distracted again. And that’s fine. It’s allowed. This will help you bounce back gracefully.)

Keep in mind: this Lab only happens live on Saturday, October 25, 2025.

And since the magic happens live (with coaching, Q&A, and interactive exercises), you won’t get the same experience just watching a replay later.

“Reframe It” Prompt Cards

Optional Hot Seats

Replay Access with Timestamped Segments

Ready to tame your tangents and finally finish something that matters to YOU?

Think about it: how many unfinished projects are costing you more than that in frustration, wasted time, or missed opportunities? What is it costing you to constantly be frustrated with yourself, to feel as though your brain is broken and no one will ever look at you as the person who can actually finish that one damn thing?

One Saturday in this Lab could flip that script.

your brain is worth this experiment.

Most productivity workshops tell you to:
  • Ignore your talents
  • Follow rigid systems
  • Shame yourself into “discipline”
This Lab show you how to:
  • Embrace your tangents
  • Design flexible systems that stick
  • Actually enjoy getting shit done

✅This Lab is perfect for you if:

  • You’ve got a brain that won’t stop chasing tangents.
  • You’re tired of productivity advice that doesn’t fit.
  • You want real progress without giving up your quirks and your fun.

🚫It’s definitely not for you if:

  • You’re looking for a rigid, hustle-first system.
  • You don’t want to experiment or play with new approaches.
  • You’d rather avoid your weird, fun tangents at all costs.
