Working with a lot of women with ADHD, many who are self-employed, some even starting new businesses, I've noticed a common thread that I notice in myself sometimes, and especially noticed when I was getting started. And it's that we find many ways to procrastinate.
Do we ever wonder why or how we procrastinate? In this episode we dive into procrastination, how to recognize it and how to beat it. 
We’ll take a look at some of the less obvious ways to procrastinate and of course some of the more obvious ways we do it and explore together some simple awareness shifts to start making our lives LESS complex.
And…
If you're a lady ADHD entrepreneur, and you're tired of the struggle, you're tired of just getting by, you're tired of having these ideas that you struggle to put into fruition. And you're ready to finally step into the role your business and your life needs, I've got something for you.
