If your brain is a non-stop idea generator but you struggle to choose which ideas to pursue or actually finish what you start, you're not alone. ADHD entrepreneurs tend to be natural polymaths—individuals with both breadth and depth of expertise across many areas. The challenge isn't the ideas themselves; it's transforming brilliant concepts into real-world impact. Guest Sarah shares her Capture-Connect-Structure-Iterate-Express-Reflect framework for wrestling with creative chaos, using AI tools like ChatGPT and Claude as digital thought partners. One of the most powerful secrets? Radical self-acceptance and boundary-setting. Instead of trying to fix ADHD traits, lean hard into your passions and hyperfocus, offloading tasks you're not naturally equipped for. As Diann says: "If I'm too much, go find less." Stop shaming yourself for your energy, creativity, and wild ideas. Build frameworks, protect your bandwidth, and your brilliant ideas will finally get their moment in the world.

Running a business with ADHD can feel like walking through an emotional minefield—criticism, time pressure, and uncertainty can all hit harder when your brain processes emotions more intensely. But emotional reactivity isn’t weakness—it’s wiring. In this episode, discover the SPACE Framework, a powerful system designed to help ADHD entrepreneurs manage stress, regulate emotions, and recover from dysregulation faster. You’ll learn to spot triggers before they escalate, pause effectively, act with intention, clear the air with accountability, and evolve your systems for resilience. These emotional regulation ADHD tools offer practical coping skills for anxiety and overwhelm, helping you shift from reactive to regulated while staying authentic, professional, and grounded.

The rise of ADHD-focused business coaching has opened new doors for entrepreneurs who think differently—but it’s also created a marketplace full of confusion and false promises. With no regulation or licensing standards, anyone can call themselves an ADHD business coach, leaving neurodivergent entrepreneurs vulnerable to generic strategies disguised as specialized help. A true ADHD business coach understands both the lived experience of ADHD and the mechanics of running a sustainable business that works with your brain, not against it. They’ll teach you how to simplify systems, amplify your natural strengths, and turn traits like hyperfocus and innovation into genuine assets. In this blog, you’ll learn what red flags to avoid, what questions to ask before hiring a coach, and how to recognize the “green lights” that signal real ADHD-aligned support. Because when it comes to your business and your brain, you deserve expertise that’s as unique as you are.

For ADHD entrepreneurs, traditional productivity hacks often create more frustration than focus. Our brains don’t switch tasks like TV channels—they reset like vinyl records, losing momentum with every change. That’s why the Focus Day model is such a game-changer. By structuring your week around task batching, you reduce context switching and give your brain the space to hit its flow. Whether it’s the Single Focus Scheduling model, the Essential Three, or the Split Screen approach, each option allows you to match your energy to your work instead of forcing yourself into a neurotypical system. Protecting your focus days with clear boundaries not only boosts productivity but also builds confidence and sustainability in your business. The beauty of this strategy is that it’s not about perfection—it’s about progress and creating a system that works with you, not against you.

They discuss why an ADHD diagnosis is optional, but self-understanding is essential—and how building a brand (and business) that reflects your truest self leads to real work-life harmony. Whether you’re sprinting through inspiration or slowing down for self-care, there’s a better way to create, heal, and thrive.

Many neurodivergent entrepreneurs feel pressured to scale, hire teams, or chase seven-figure dreams—but that’s not the only path to success. In this conversation with Maggie Patterson, host of the ADHD-ish Podcast explores why staying solo can be the ultimate form of freedom and self-care. Maggie shares how designing a business around your actual life, capacity, and values can protect your energy, reduce stress, and create a more sustainable future. By challenging the hustle culture and rejecting one-size-fits-all business models, she empowers entrepreneurs to embrace simplicity, autonomy, and meaningful work over endless growth.

If you have ADHD, you regularly experience task avoidance. You might be overwhelmed by a complex project or stuck composing an important email because you can't find the "just right" words. Enter Goblin.Tools for ADHD, developed by Bram de Buyser—a game-changing suite designed specifically for neurodivergent brains. From Magic To-Do, which breaks chaotic tasks into manageable chunks, to the Formalizer that transforms your text into any tone you need (with customizable spice levels up to three chili peppers), these tools tackle executive function challenges head-on. There's also the Judge for decoding ambiguous messages, the Estimator for time blindness, and even the Chef for meal planning when you're too fried to think. As a female entrepreneur with ADHD, I can personally attest to their efficacy. These tools won't solve everything, but they'll make your entrepreneurial life significantly more manageable.

Do you ever feel like you're constantly juggling a million ideas, unable to slow down and focus on just one? Or perhaps you're perpetually seeking new experiences, easily bored if things start to feel routine. As a driven female entrepreneur, you might wonder if these traits are related to giftedness, ADHD, or both. The path to success as a gifted female entrepreneur is anything but straightforward. The need to make a significant impact, coupled with perfectionism and high standards, creates relentless pressure and the ever-looming specter of imposter syndrome. Layer in ADHD realities—intense drive to learn and create, difficulty finding fulfillment in work that doesn't align with intellectual passions, sensory sensitivity, and organizational challenges—and the complexity multiplies. From high creativity and intense focus to impulsivity and restlessness, the intersection of these unique perspectives fuels our entrepreneurial journey. It's crucial to cultivate self-awareness, self-acceptance, and self-advocacy while seeking supportive environments that recognize our unique strengths and struggles.
