Building a business with an ADHD brain can feel less like following a carefully laid plan and more like learning to work with ever-changing waves of energy, focus, and creativity. How do you create something sustainable for you, and what are the best foundations to start from?

Maybe you avoid opening your banking app for weeks. Maybe you know something needs to change but every system you've tried has lasted about three days. Maybe you've spent money you didn't mean to spend, not because you're irresponsible, but because in that moment it was the only thing that made you feel okay.

You are not bad with money. You just haven't had a system built for your brain.

Have you spent years pushing through, overriding what your body is telling you, performing at full capacity, and wondering why you keep burning out?

For so many women with ADHD, the drive to do more, prove more, and be more is relentless. We have the passion, the ambition, the energy. But when that inner motor collides with a nervous system that desperately needs rest and renewal, something eventually gives way.

I bring back two fantastic guests in today's episode: Rachel Harris and Jodie Hill. Both are trailblazing women in their respective industries, paving the way for more neurodivergent women to ask for what they need and create strong scaffolding to support them from burnout while also satiating their inner drive, ambition and big dreams.

When we finally understand how our ADHD can help us to succeed, we can lean into it. But it can feel so challenging when we're in the dark and have no idea why we keep hitting the same obstacles. We discuss this on today's ADHD Women's Wellbeing Podcast with guest Andrea McDowell, who also says it sometimes involves winging it and pivoting, even when we're terrified we may fail.
