The BIGGEST Reason ADHD Women Struggle as Entrepreneurs

Hey there, listeners! In this episode, I delve into a topic close to my heart: the often overlooked intersection of ADHD and trauma, particularly in women. Drawing from personal experiences and insights from my coaching practice, I explore how growing up with ADHD in a society that may not fully understand or accommodate it can lead to experiences of shame, criticism, and constant correction. These experiences can leave deep wounds that impact our sense of self, emotional regulation, and ability to navigate the world.
 
I discuss how trauma manifests in ADHD individuals, from rejection sensitivity to difficulty concentrating and sleeping. Through a trauma-informed lens, I highlight the importance of addressing these underlying wounds to truly thrive with ADHD. I also offer a glimpse into my upcoming live training, where I'll be sharing strategies for overcoming invisible ADHD obstacles and building a prosperous, meaningful life. Join me as we navigate the complexities of ADHD and trauma, and discover pathways to healing and empowerment.Wanna do more of this deeper work?  Click on this link to register for my 3-day LIVE, virtual workshop, Overcome Invisible ADHD Obstacles So You Can Build a Prosperous, Impactful, and Meaningful Business You Love

Why We're Hiding From Ourselves and How to Step Into Your Power Instead

Hey there, it's Jen, and I'm thrilled to have you tuning in today for what I believe is going to be a crucial conversation. Lately, I've been witnessing a pervasive sense of overwhelm, disconnection, and numbing out in not only myself but also in my clients, fellow entrepreneurs, and society at large, particularly amidst the tumultuous events of recent years. If you've found yourself caught in this cycle, constantly bombarded by distressing news, engaging in unhealthy coping mechanisms, or simply feeling like you're going through the motions without real purpose, then this episode is tailor-made for you. 
 
I delve deep into exploring the root causes of this collective state of unease, tracing it back to the divisive climate that emerged in 2016 and was exacerbated by subsequent global crises like the COVID-19 pandemic and ongoing geopolitical conflicts. However, amidst this heaviness, I've also been receiving powerful messages from what I call the universe—calls to action urging us to awaken to our inner resources, expand our perspectives, and embark on a journey of self-discovery and healing. Throughout the episode, I offer practical insights and actionable steps to help us break free from the grip of external chaos, reconnect with our highest selves, and align with a sense of purpose that transcends the turbulent times we find ourselves in. So if you're ready to step off the hamster wheel, reclaim your inner peace, and contribute to building a brighter future, then join me on this transformative journey. Together, let's navigate the challenges, embrace the opportunities, and co-create the world we envision—one rooted in compassion, resilience, and collective healing.

Think Your ADHD Brain is Broken? Here's What to Do

Welcome to the Self-Love Women Way podcast, I'm your host, Jen. In today's episode, we delved into the intricate ways our minds perceive ADHD and how societal expectations can weigh heavy on our self-perception. It's fascinating how we navigate through the subtle messages that tell us our brains are somehow broken and need fixing. Drawing from personal experiences, I shared moments where I found myself grappling with the need for rest while battling internal voices urging me to keep pushing forward, associating rest with inadequacy. This internal conflict, I realized, isn't unique to me but resonates deeply with many, especially women, in a society that glorifies productivity over self-care.
 
As we journeyed through the complexities of ADHD, I highlighted the importance of self-compassion and acceptance. While acceptance is crucial, I introduced the idea that true transformation comes from embracing self-love—cherishing ourselves despite the challenges ADHD presents. Through introspection and self-awareness, we can start unraveling the layers of shame and criticism, offering ourselves the kindness and understanding we readily extend to others. This episode encouraged listeners to explore their inner dialogue, question societal norms, and embark on the path toward self-love and acceptance.
 
Thank you for tuning in, and remember to share your thoughts and experiences with us. Your feedback and contributions enrich our community, fostering a supportive environment where women can embrace their uniqueness and thrive. Until next time, take care and continue nurturing the love within.

Heal Your Inner Wounds and Embrace the Divine Feminine with Eleonore de Posson

Welcome to a special episode where we dive deep into the wisdom of the divine feminine and explore the path to healing and empowerment. In this enlightening conversation, I had the honor of engaging with Eleonor, a Spiritual Teacher, Priestess, International Author, and Energy Healer, who illuminates the path of femininity and sovereignty. Together, we embarked on a journey through the depths of sacred union, reclaiming our power, and honoring the divine within.
 
As we explored the rich tapestry of feminine spirituality, we uncovered hidden truths and ancient wisdom that have been obscured by patriarchal systems for centuries. From Mary Magdalene's sacred teachings to the wounds of the feminine soul, we delved into the essence of what it means to embody the sacred feminine in today's world. Eleonor's insights shed light on the interconnectedness of our personal healing journeys with the collective awakening of humanity.
 
Through the lens of sacred sexuality and embracing the divine feminine within, we uncovered the transformative power of reconnecting with our true essence. This episode serves as a beacon of hope and inspiration for all who are called to awaken the sacred within themselves and honor the divine feminine that resides in every soul. Join us as we embark on a journey of healing, empowerment, and divine remembrance.
