💬 The Evolve X Vibe Badges

VIBE CHECK NEUROINCLUSIVE BADGES

A new way to honour your energy — without saying a word.

Let’s be real: in-person events can be magic, but they can also be a lot.

Some of us show up buzzing and ready to connect. Others arrive holding a hundred tabs open in their minds, needing a moment to land before diving in. Sometimes we’re somewhere in-between — full of potential, but unsure how to say what we need.

So this year at Evolve X, we’re introducing something a little different:
The Vibe Badges.


🎨 What are Vibe Badges?

They’re colourful, circular badges you can wear at our events to share where you’re at — emotionally, energetically, socially — without having to find the words.

Inspired by inclusion principles (but not tied to diagnoses), they’re like gentle permission slips to be exactly who you are in the moment. They help others read your energy clearly, meet you where you are, and interact with more ease, empathy, and consent.


💡 Why we created them

We’ve seen it all — the introverts doing brave things, the extroverts who suddenly need quiet, the overwhelmed genius mid-processing, the first-timer who just needs a warm invitation.

So instead of assuming or awkwardly guessing, we thought:

What if we could wear a signal that says “I’m up for hugs” or “Please don’t”... without having to say it out loud?

Because sometimes what people need is not to be “fixed” — just felt.


🌈 The Badge Options

Each badge is linked to a colour from our Evolve X palette and represents a specific vibe:

  • 🩷 A BIT FLAT — I’m here, but I might need a little gentle energy or space to warm up.

  • 🔮 OVERSTIMULATED — I may need quiet, space, or a sensory reset. Please don’t take it personally if I step away.

  • 💗 NEED HUGS — Physical connection is welcome — with consent, of course!

  • 🧘‍♀️ PROCESSING — I’m in reflection mode. I’ll connect when I’m ready.

  • 🌟 EXCITED — I’m buzzing and happy to connect, support, and co-create.

  • 💬 UP FOR A CHAT — Open to questions, conversations, and connection.

You choose your badge at the start of the day (or any time), and you can swap them as your energy shifts.


🙌 What it really does

  • Reduces social anxiety

  • Supports neurodivergent and highly sensitive people

  • Fosters authentic connection

  • Encourages consent and clarity in all interactions

It’s a way to human better, not harder.


💬 In summary?

We see you. All of you.
Your quiet. Your sparkle. Your processing pause. Your high-vibe YES.

This isn’t about labelling people — it’s about giving people language for their lived experience in a space that honours growth, emotion, and wholeness.

Evolve X is for future humans and the families they lead — and this is one more way we’re evolving how we gather, together.
