ADHD, Self-Employment, and the Money Stress No One Warns You About
Often when I’m doing a workshop, I mention that I work with many women who have ADHD. In the crowd, I hear giggles, see raised hands, and notice heads nodding in agreement. There is a unique comfort in knowing you’re not alone in the struggle—that others experience the same challenges and that routine and strategy can be powerful tools for managing the chaos.
There is a significant overlap between ADHD and business ownership, which makes a lot of sense. Many people with ADHD find the rigid structure of a traditional workplace limiting or overwhelming. Self-employment offers flexibility, autonomy, and the ability to create an environment that suits their needs and strengths. This freedom can enhance productivity, creativity, and fulfillment when managed thoughtfully.

Do You Have Avoidance Anxiety When It Comes to Your Money?
This may explain the stress I see so many clients have around tax time. Many of us avoid thinking or talking about money the best we can but the government forces us to face it, at least a little bit, once per year. With that said, I acknowledge that it’s easy to intellectually understand this concept and it’s altogether a different thing to implement it in one’s own life. Let’s consider how you can move from knowing it, to doing it.
Shoulda Coulda Woulda
Do you ever feel frozen by regret? It’s as if we feel like we CAN change what happened if we obsess over our missteps enough. Give yourself some grace. You did the best you could at the time and now you can do something different. You can change your trajectory toward the life you really want. (The status quo can feel anxiety inducing and comfy at the same time!)
