How to Use the Wisdom of Your Body to Grow Your Business with ADHD

There’s a resource we all have that not many entrepreneurs tap into, often because they don’t know it’s an option or don’t know how to do it.  This resource is the body- really a gateway to inner wisdom.
When you are able to tap into this resource you will navigate your business from a more grounded, wise, and intuitive place - you’ll be in alignment.  When this happens, you will be able to draw your ideal clients to you with greater ease, prioritize with greater clarity, and be able to serve in more effective ways - ways that truly help your clients more deeply than you thought possible.
In this episode, we’ll explore how tapping into the wisdom of your body is essential for business and how to do it as well as how to ascertain the difference between acting from fear, anxiety, or desperation and aligning with intuitive guidance.  Be sure to listen.

How Putting Everyone Else First is Wrecking Your Business

As young girls, we women were trained to put others before ourselves.  Couple that with some of the ways we ADHDers leavened to mask and you end up with difficulty prioritizing yourself.

How ADHD Women Lost Our Curiosity and How to Take It Back

Hi, 
I’ve noticed a common pattern in ADHD women - especially those of us over 40 given how we grew up - that negatively impacts our businesses… it’s limited or a complete lack of curiosity. 
I know this pattern well both personally and professionally, and have had to work to take back my curiosity to help my business.
In this episode, we’ll break down how we lost our curiosity, the problems it creates for our businesses, and my strategy for how to take it back.
If you to, have lost your curiosity - your ability to question - you’ll (hopefully) walk away feeling validated and supported and have a way to re-ignite your curiosity to help your business and your life.  
Be sure to listen!

The ADHD Masking Trifecta: How to Function When It Stops Working

In this episode, we dig into the ADHD Masking Trifecta - Overfunctioning, People Pleasing, and Perfectionism - that many of us high-functioning ADHD women adopted (often subconsciously as kids) to be able to function with ADHD.  We’ll explore signs that it is no longer working and what to do instead. 
This is essential - especially for ADHD Women Entrepreneurs - both because we need to show up authentically in our business to attract our ideal clients and because masking in this way eventually creates problems with functioning instead of increasing our ability to function (not to mention being disconnected from who we really are).
By the end of this episode, you’ll be able to spot when the masking isn’t working and know what to do to function now.
If you’d like help doing this deeper work, I offer two options for this:
 My high-touch program ASCEND: The ADHD Women Entrepreneur’s Mastery Program includes 12 1:1 coaching sessions with me to do this deeper work.  You can learn more about that here and if you still have questions you can reach out to get on a call with me to discuss if the program is a fit for you and if you are a fit for the program.
One-to-one ADHD Success coaching sessions.  You can apply to meet to discuss 1:1 coaching here.

How to Cope with Grief and Loss

Experiencing grief and loss in our culture is often tough because no one really talks about it so few really know how to cope with it or even how to talk to the grieving.  ADHD adds a layer of challenge to this.
In this episode, we explore the unique ways ADHD impacts the grief process as well as how to cope with grief and loss.
Without this work, grief and loss builds up over the years and can come out in unexpected ways - both emotionally and physically.
You’ll walk away from this episode with compassion for your grief journey as well as clarity on how to grieve well to be able to start to string together more and more moments of joy after loss.
If you know someone who is grieving, please share this episode with them for support.
Here are some books I found helpful, thought please read at your own discretion as not all books helpful for me will be aligned or helpful for you:
“Understanding Your Grief” by Alan Wolfelt
“The Afterlife of Billy Fingers:  How My Bad-Boy Brother Proved to Me There’s Life After Death” by Annie Kagan
“You Cannot Die” by Ian Currie (a bit dry at first, considers life after death including reincarnation)
“Motherless Daughters: The Legacy of Loss” by Hope Edelman (while primarily written for childhood loss of a mother, this was still useful)
“It’s OK That You’re Not OK:  Meeting Grief and Loss in a Culture That Doesn’t Understand” by Megan Devine (recommended by my grief group leader and I eventually read it later in 2019)

How do we highly sensitive women navigate our big feelings after the election

Hi everyone, 
The day following the election in the States, I connected with a lot of people - clients, friends, acquaintances and more - all of whom were women and some of whom are in the queer community.  I noticed that a lot of us were (maybe still are) rightfully feeling some big and heavy stuff.
To meet the moment, in this episode we talk about how we highly sensitive women navigate our big feelings after the election.
You may be wondering why someone whose focus is ADHD Women Entrepreneurs talking about this.  I go more into this more in the episode.
For now, I’ll say this:
Whether with your business or something happening in the world, high sensitivity and the big feelings that tend to accompany them are both a gift (what probably makes you so good at what you do) and also can create challenges for you and your business so it is crucial to learn how to work with them.
Additionally, much is uncertain in business, as is true right now following the election.  Being able to navigate uncertainty is an essential skill for entrepreneurs.
So in this episode we’ll explore the big feelings, holding space for them, as well as explore what to do to work with the feelings and the uncertainty.
To be fair, this is probably not my most organized episode.  I recorded this on November 7th so am still working through my own stuff with thoughts swirling through my head (I seriously started over four times - though some of that was because my cat Eva was destroying my background screen).
At any rate, my hope is that you feel supported by this episode with some clarity around what to do now AND that you’ll extend me a little grace.
While I didn’t announce it in the episode, one of the things I notice in ADHD Women entrepreneurs that keeps them playing small is invisible ADHD obstacles - things like fear, doubt, overwhelm, feeling not good enough (or too much), and the like.
If you’ve been struggling to really put yourself out there for your business, you may be experiencing some of these invisible ADHD obstacles.
AND, if this is you, you’re invited to attend one of my free weekly workshops in November to discover How to Overcome Invisible ADHD Obstacles.  Click here to register.
Lastly, in the episode I promised to share a link to Brene Brown’s interview of Dr. Heather Cox Richardson on Awakening Democracy.  It is a two-parter and I highly recommend listening to both, especially if you are having a hard time making sense of where we’re at right now.  Click here to listen.
