Why ADHD Entrepreneurs Struggle With Boundaries (And How to Fix It)
ADHD-ish Blog: One of my more memorable recent conversations took place with Jabari Allen, a tech consultant working at the intersection of artificial intelligence, regulated industries, and identity. As I sat across from Jabari, I could feel both the resonance and the difference in our experiences, and it was precisely this dynamic that made our conversation so rich. Working with him as a business strategy coach has taught me as much as I've believe I’ve taught him.

Why ADHD Entrepreneurs Undercharge — And the Strategic Fix
If you already suspect or know you're undercharging, this post won't tell you to value yourself more, charge what you're worth, or do a money-mindset meditation. ADHD entrepreneurs undercharge for reasons that have almost nothing to do with self-worth and almost everything to do with how our brains are wired.
The Real Reason ADHD Entrepreneurs Can't Stick to a Price
You don't have an ADHD pricing consistency problem because you don't know what to charge. You have an ADHD pricing consistency problem because the moment of pricing is happening inside a freeze response, and your strategic brain isn't fast enough to catch it.
This is not a confidence issue. This is not a money mindset issue. This is rejection sensitivity in a business setting.
ADHD & The Lifetime Legacy of Bullying: Healing the Pain
ADHD-ish Blog: One of the cruelest impacts of chronic bullying is the way it reshapes our internal world. As Brooke and I discussed, many people with ADHD internalize the constant criticism and "corrective" feedback, coming to believe that the problem resides within. Years of being othered, misunderstood, or called out can lead to anxiety, depression, and even dissociation—a survival mechanism designed to temporarily shield us from pain. This contributes significantly to ADHD and rejection sensitivity.
ADHD & The Lifetime Legacy of Bullying
Bullying doesn’t end after childhood for ADHD brains, it evolves. Discover the hidden ways it shapes confidence, work, and relationships, and learn how to break the cycle by listening now and seeing yourself differently.
ADHD Rejection Sensitivity: How to Handle It When Prospects Ghost You
Ghosting can feel crushing for ADHD entrepreneurs, triggering rejection sensitivity and endless mental “open loops.” But most of the time, it’s not personal—it’s about the prospect’s circumstances, not your skills. The key is reframing ghosting as data, setting clear expectations, and closing loops for yourself with professional follow-ups and boundaries. By strengthening your pipeline, limiting rumination, and leaning on systems, you protect your energy while staying focused on what you can control. Ghosting doesn’t diminish your value; it’s just part of the process of finding the right clients.
