171. Avoiding the Research Rabbit Hole When Implementing Tech Solutions
July 14, 2023 16:17 - 26 minutes - 37.7 MBNew technology possesses an undeniable allure, especially for those of us with ADHD. When we find something intriguing, we tend to dive headfirst into it, immersing ourselves and becoming experts in the subject. That is in our nature but it doesn’t always serve us. When you are looking to add new technology or software solutions to your business do you spend hours (that you didn’t intend to) researching and likely not getting done you were supposed to be doing only to: Not end up changing y...
170. All or Nothing Thinking in Individuals with ADHD
June 29, 2023 03:29 - 22 minutes - 32.5 MBImpact of All or Nothing Thinking For entrepreneurs, all-or-nothing thinking reflects in areas such as time management, task prioritization, and perfectionism.

February 01, 2023 09:00 - 47 minutes - 67 MBOne of the blessings of the pandemic is that we now see a great example of why, as a business owner, we need to be prepared so our team members and/or family can keep our business going if we are sick for an extended period of time or if we pass. Maybe you're thinking, where would I even start to get all that set up? Or maybe you know it’s important but like many important things in our business and life, when do you actually prioritize that? In today’s episode I talk to MaryBeth Sim...
164. Planning Your CEO Days
January 27, 2023 04:52 - 27 minutes - 39.8 MBIf you're somebody who loves organization and streamlining systems like I do or maybe you're feeling like you could use a little more organization in your business, than this week's episode is for you! We are talking about structuring your CEO days. This is when you are putting on your CEO hat, and working ON your business, not in it.

162. 15 ways to let go of the sh*t that is dragging you down
January 07, 2023 23:27 - 18 minutes - 26.3 MBHappy 2023 Ya’ll! I don’t know about you but I’m feeling really good about the upcoming year. Don’t get me wrong, my sarcastic side still wants to jump in and say that to make such a statement is naively optimistic especially given the last three years, but sarcasm aside I truly am excited and its not just wishful optimism. First, I'm hosting two free events in January: To register for the Get Sh*t Done Workshop on Jan 13th and to get on the list for the coworking day on January 27th ...
161. Small Changes to Get Time Back in Life with Jessie Patterson
December 21, 2022 09:00 - 42 minutes - 60.3 MBIf you’re neurodivergent, you likely struggle with focus. You spend hours and hours (and hours!) trying to get a task done but are derailed by distractions from every direction. And most of these distractions are manufactured by YOU. The 40+ tabs on your computer, the smartphone “calling your name,” the random idea that you need to research RIGHT THIS MINUTE. And, my favorite distraction, social media. It’s no wonder we struggle to get work done. Though technology has created so ...
160. My Neurodivergent Brain with Annie Ruggles
December 14, 2022 09:00 - 48 minutes - 67.6 MBWhat happens to the business owner who has obsessive-compulsive disorder?

We talk about...
159. Taking Care of Business & Yourself in a Divorce with Casey Gromer
December 07, 2022 09:00 - 56 minutes - 79.8 MBI’m finding more and more entrepreneurs who are navigating divorce while trying to keep their businesses afloat. And that’s not just because I’m a couples therapist. I think many people have finally gotten to the point where what they’ve been doing isn’t working or they’re just not happy, and they decide that divorcing is the right path forward. That’s the case for this week’s podcast guest, Casey Gromer, fractional CMO and host of the Female Founders Breaking Boundaries podcast. Casey...
158. Are You Stealing Your Own Rest Time?
November 30, 2022 09:00 - 11 minutes - 16.8 MBIt’s that time of year again. You know, the time when you’ve blocked off the holidays so you can relax and enjoy them with your family. But then a client needs something from you so you decide to “just” work that one day. In reality, that one call or one day will most likely turn into you completely cannibalizing your time off. So when it’s time to go back to work in the new year, you’re frustrated and frazzled before your butt even hits your office chair. This year, give yoursel...
157. Yes, You CAN be ADHD and Organized with Wendy Zanders
November 23, 2022 09:00 - 47 minutes - 67 MBYou’ve probably been told that because you’re neurodivergent, you’ll struggle with being organized. Because it’s all so overwhelming to deal with “stuff.” As someone who is both neurodivergent and incredibly organized, I call bullshit. It’s not about one or the other, it’s about finding the systems that work for you. This week on the podcast, professional organizer and declutter coach Wendy Zanders is taking on the critics who think that neurodivergent business owners are doomed ...
156. Stop Making Yourself Smaller with Cara Steinmann
November 16, 2022 09:00 - 49 minutes - 68.9 MBWe hear from all the business coaches and growth strategists about the importance of niching down in order to grow. It makes sense…The more narrow our offering and ideal clients, the easier it is for others to refer us. But this week’s guest, Cara Steinmann, doesn’t think we should niche down but rather “niche up.” That doesn’t mean you build out a bigger client base, it means that you know your limiting beliefs, understand how you’ve compromised your core values in the past, know how ...
155. Structuring Your Money Power Hour
November 09, 2022 08:00 - 34 minutes - 49.5 MBOne of the biggest challenges of many business owners is managing their money. Not because they’re not making money, but because they aren’t taking care of it. Without some clear actions around your money on a consistent basis, you might not make the best decisions about it. In the neurodivergent world, it can feel really overwhelming to sit down and “take care of your money.” Because what do you need to do? How long will it take? What if I’m not happy with my revenue and would rather ...
154. Is Your Story Keeping You Stuck?
November 02, 2022 08:00 - 15 minutes - 22.9 MBEvery day, we tell ourselves stories about our business, our life, our relationships. And often those stories limit our success. I’m guilty of it, and I hear these limiting stories from clients every day. It’s hard to get out of our comfort zones and find a new way, and it often takes someone looking from the outside in to remind us that it’s possible. In today’s episode, I’m sharing some of the stories you might be telling yourself and how you can reframe those stories into som...
153. Creating Momentum in Your Business
October 26, 2022 08:00 - 23 minutes - 34 MBEntrepreneurship can be really challenging, especially when you’re neurodivergent. We’re responsible for our own energy and ensuring that the long to-do list we make for ourselves gets done each day or week. But long to-do lists don’t work for our ADHD brains. In fact, they probably hinder our progress. Instead, we need little hacks to create momentum in our business, even when (especially when) we’re just not feeling it right now. I’ve had many of those moments where my toddler ...
152. It’s Not the Doing, It’s The Planning with Mridu Parikh
October 19, 2022 08:00 - 43 minutes - 61.5 MBWe all have 100+ things on our to-do lists and probably at least 100 more things in our heads that we need to do. There’s no way to remember it all or get it all done. It’s pretty common to brain dump a list of to-do’s for the day, setting ourselves up for failure because the list is too long, we have too many distractions, and/or we simply lose momentum. Relate much? Well, Easily Distracted Entrepreneur, you may continue to be frustrated because you’re more focused on the list a...
151. More Sparkle and More Swagger with Anniedi Essien
October 12, 2022 08:00 - 44 minutes - 62.1 MBWhether you come from a corporate background or not, trying to secure corporate clients can feel intimidating. Corporate has a stuffy, stiff reputation that may not align with the way you want to do business. Or maybe your brand is whimsy, fun, and loud. And that’s not really what corporate looks like, does it? But in reality, corporate is filled with human beings who all have their own personalities. So it’s not surprising that something fun and outside the box might very well b...
150. Learning and Growth in 150 Episodes
October 05, 2022 08:00 - 56 minutes - 78.9 MBI love the idea of looking for things to celebrate in the everyday. So when my podcast manager told me that episode 150 of the podcast was coming up, I wanted to do something special. Rather than record a solo episode (which she knows is a big challenge for me), she suggested that someone interview me for the episode. And since she’s a podcaster too, she was the perfect candidate for this! This week on the podcast, Abby Herman, podcast manager and owner of The Content Experiment...
149. Creating Courses for Neurodivergent Students with Eman Zabi
September 28, 2022 08:00 - 39 minutes - 55.4 MBCreating and selling courses is just one way to scale or grow your business. But the whole goal is for students to do the work and be successful. It’s hard to do that when only about 10% of buyers actually go through the coursework. Eman Zabi is trying to shift that narrative through a unique course platform designed specifically to support business owners in starting and growing their businesses. And this week on the podcast, she’s sharing what she’s learned about creating courses and...
148. How the Brain Works with Melina Palmer
September 21, 2022 08:00 - 44 minutes - 63.3 MBWith so much turmoil going on right now, our world has been turned upside down in so many ways. Many people, including business owners, are feeling this pressure to get a lot of things done or try to make an impact or shift. At the same time, they also are overwhelmed with not knowing where to focus, and so they feel stuck. There’s a way around feeling stuck, and it takes looking into the brain and how it works. This week on the podcast, behavioral economist Melina Palmer is sharing ho...
147. Guess what? Do what you want! with Sam Pollack
September 14, 2022 08:00 - 1 hour - 102 MBThere’s so much pressure to do business the “right” way, whatever that means. I don’t know about you, but if it doesn’t feel good to me I’m probably not doing it. And much of what the “experts” say is the right thing just doesn’t feel right. When you’re neurodivergent and highly sensitive, it’s important to look inside and honor doing things the way you want to. That’s why you left your day job and started your own gig, right? This week on the podcast, I’m talking with Sam Pollac...
146. Managing Transitions & Shifting Seasons
September 07, 2022 08:00 - 18 minutes - 26.7 MBThere’s no such thing as the perfect schedule or routine. Sure we all have schedules and routines that work for us, but that’s the key. They work for US. At the same time, things change. We go through transitions in life and business and we have to make adjustments to how we work. As this episode is being released, we’re in a transition phase. Fall is here, if not officially then in spirit because school has started in most parts of the U.S. This means mornings might be busier and ear...
145. When You’re Having a Crap Day… with Merrett Sheridan
August 31, 2022 08:00 - 36 minutes - 51.6 MBNo one’s immune to having a crap day. It’s what you do during that crap day that will determine whether or not you grow from it. Because you can take that day and go off the rails, sitting in conflict or you can recognize and accept that you’re “stuck behind the garbage truck,” as this week’s guest puts it. Mindfulness is so important in life, but especially when it comes to bad days. Merrett Sheridan, this week’s guest, talks about using mindfulness to shift your mindset entirely from...
144. Are You the Ghoster or Ghostee?
August 24, 2022 08:00 - 20 minutes - 29.9 MBIt’s happened to everyone. You make a great connection with an amazing new person and you know you’ll do great business together. Referrals, networking, maybe you’ll even hire them…or vice versa. And then it happens: You get busy and ghost them. Or they ghost you. I’m overgeneralizing because those aren’t the only two options, but you get the picture. Ghosting happens and we’re all at risk of being on both sides of it. It can have a big impact on our businesses, so it’s important...
143. Build a Legacy & Business with Speaking with Jasmin Haley
August 17, 2022 08:00 - 48 minutes - 68.5 MBI think just being a business owner is a risk, but completely leaving a high-paying (and stressful) industry to pursue a business that you’re not sure will thrive brings a new meaning to risk. But that’s exactly what this week’s guest did. And it paid off. Jasmin Haley made a big career change from the dental field to higher education and found that she was one of the only black women speaking on that stage. She knew that others like her needed to hear her story. She was already a succ...
142. Clearing Up Your Money Clutter
August 10, 2022 08:00 - 13 minutes - 19.6 MBMoney is one of the things that we seem to stress about the most and, as a result, avoid. Sound familiar? As we enter the countdown to the end of the summer chaos, I’m starting to take some time to organize and declutter. And clearing up money clutter is part of that process. This week on the podcast, I’m sharing with you a training I did in the Inner Circle, Clearing Money Clutter. It will help you to find hidden money in your life, get your bills paid up and planned out, and j...
141. Hiring New Team Members The Right Way with Tasha Booth
August 03, 2022 08:00 - 40 minutes - 57.3 MBIf your business is growing and you’re reaching the limit of what you can handle on your own, it might be time to bring on some team members. Most business owners start with administrative support. Neurodivergent business owners, like me, tend to struggle with the little tasks that need to be done. Scheduling appointments, following through with projects, each and every step of a workflow. Sound familiar? But how do you know who to hire and what to hire them for? It’s overwhelming, esp...
140. Making the Most of Conferences
July 27, 2022 08:00 - 25 minutes - 36.6 MBWho else is excited about attending in-person events again? I’ve attended two conferences recently and I’m thrilled to be able to hug old friends and meet some new ones. Unfortunately, my ADHD brain is challenged with making sure I’m making the most out of in-person events while I’m there and making sure that I follow through on all the after-conference follow-up. (Follow-up is not my strong suit.) Do you feel the same? On this episode, I’m sharing some steps to take befo...
137. Are you fun deficient?
July 13, 2022 08:00 - 23 minutes - 34.3 MBFor too many of my friends and loved ones, life just doesn’t seem to be much fun anymore. And it’s not just the pandemic that’s ruined fun for us. It’s financial pressure, society, the desire to succeed in work or business. And, of course, all the adult responsibilities that we have. I don’t know about you, but I want life to be fun. I look for fun everywhere I go, but sometimes I fall off track and I know I need to recalibrate. Fun is a primary motivator for me, no matter what I’m doi...

July 13, 2022 08:00 - 23 minutes - 34.3 MBFor too many of my friends and loved ones, life just doesn’t seem to be much fun anymore. And it’s not just the pandemic that’s ruined fun for us. It’s financial pressure, society, the desire to succeed in work or business. And, of course, all the adult responsibilities that we have. I don’t know about you, but I want life to be fun.

137. Activism Without Losing Yourself with Jax Anderson
July 06, 2022 08:00 - 46 minutes - 65.7 MBWhen shit happens in life that we can’t control, we can sit back and be complacent or we can step up and take action. Not one to back down from a challenge, I’ve found myself struggling with how to handle the recent challenges we’re facing in the U.S. I’ve spent a lot of time talking to both business and therapy clients and the conversations sound eerily similar: we’re distracted and unmotivated right now. So I turned to Jax Anderson, my friend and a fellow therapist, who continually i...
136. Letting Go of Perfectionism and Trigger Words with Dr. Jane Tornatore
June 29, 2022 08:00 - 48 minutes - 67.6 MBWe all want to do our best, but many of us neurodivergent entrepreneurs struggle with perfectionism. We see perfection everywhere we look, but never within ourselves. There’s really no such thing as perfection because there’s always room for improvement. That’s one of the “gifts” of being human, that we thrive on growth and development. But sometimes perfectionism can hold us back from taking action and our ego gets in the way. We get down on ourselves because something that “sho...
135. Overcoming Imposter Syndrome for Neurodivergents with Patrick Casale
June 22, 2022 08:00 - 40 minutes - 57 MBImposter syndrome is something that impacts nearly every entrepreneur I know. But it’s not just about feeling like you’re not worthy to be called an expert in your field. Imposter syndrome shows up in so many different ways. This week on the podcast, imposter syndrome expert Patrick Casale and I are talking about imposter syndrome for neurodivergent folks, being in alignment with authenticity, how to let go of some of the negative messaging we hold onto, and creating movement to remain...
134. Managing Health and Mind for Better Business with Cate Stillman
June 15, 2022 08:00 - 53 minutes - 75.1 MBYour health and wellness has a big impact on your business and there are a lot of opinions about what being healthy looks like. Social and cultural norms often take precedence, along with quick fixes. The truth is that change and evolution, both in business and in your health and wellness, take time. This week on the podcast, Cate Stillman is sharing her expertise around integrating changes into business, doing hard things, getting uncomfortable so you can evolve, designing your lifestyl...
133. Are You a Victim of the Fuckening?
June 08, 2022 08:00 - 8 minutes - 12.7 MBYou know the feeling. Like everything is going right and you’re on fire. Is it too good to be true? Feels like it! Then the shit hits the fan and everything goes into the toilet. This is what I call the Fuckening. And it’s going to happen at some point. There’s no way around it. But how you react to it can make a big difference. Will you fight it? Lean into it? Find a way to destress and move forward? On this episode, I’m sharing a tongue-in-cheek meditation that gives you ...
132. Hiring Strategy for Better ROI with Ashley Cox
June 01, 2022 08:00 - 47 minutes - 66.8 MBIf you’ve been thinking about hiring to take some of the day-to-day minutiae off your list, you just might have waited too long to take the leap. That’s according to this week’s podcast guest, Ashley Cox of SproutHR. Early in business, bootstrapping is essential. But as you bring on more clients, you start to eat into your family and rest time resulting in working more hours than you should or want to. Some of those working hours (maybe more than you’d care to admit!) are likely ...
131. Good Enough Video is Good Enough with Erik Fisher
May 25, 2022 08:00 - 41 minutes - 58.6 MBIt’s the year of the video…again. And guess what? It will be the year of the video next year too. Video is incredibly popular, and for good reason. It allows your audience to see you and your personality, making an even deeper connection between the two of you, before you even have that first true conversation. But too many people get hung up on doing it perfectly, so they don’t even start. It’s time to just start. And this week’s podcast guest, Erik Fisher, is just the person to...
130. Feeling Extra Sensitive? It Might Be RSD
May 18, 2022 08:00 - 13 minutes - 19.8 MBRejection sensitivity dysphoria is one of the lesser-known responses associated with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. And if you’re not aware of it, you can end up feeling paralyzed and alone. You might think that sensitivity about how people perceive you and your work or that story you’re telling yourself about why someone isn’t responding to your email or direct message just comes with entrepreneurship. And I think it does, to a point. But RSD is these feelings to the extre...
