The Truth About Running A Business With ADHD (The Struggles, Strengths + Systems That Save Me)
If you’ve ever felt like your brain just works differently - and that running a business sometimes feels like juggling chaos with creativity - this episode is for you.
Today I’m pulling back the curtain on what it’s really like to run a business with ADHD - the challenges, the hidden strengths, and the systems that have completely changed the game for me.
I’m sharing:
✨ My ADHD diagnosis journey and what finally made the puzzle pieces click
✨ How ADHD shows up in my daily work habits — from hyperfocus to burnout
✨ The practical tools and routines that keep me grounded (even when my brain wants to do everything at once)
✨ How I’ve learned to manage my energy, stay organized, and build a business that supports my brain - not fights against it
Plus, I give you a little behind-the-scenes peek into designing my new podcast studio, how I’m using Pinterest and AI tools like ChatGPT and Sora to bring my vision board to life, and the creative process that keeps me inspired.
From brain dumps and time blocking to theme days, sprint-style work, co-working, and celebrating small wins - these are the systems that save me (and might just save you too).
If you’re a creative entrepreneur with ADHD - or simply someone who wants to build a business that fits you - this episode will leave you feeling seen, supported, and ready to work with your brain, not against it.
