EPISODE 9

Aligning your business to your brain is almost an afterthought for a lot of entrepreneurs with ADHD. Even after they've discovered that they have ADHD, they tend to spend a lot of time trying to learn the way ADHD manifests in their lives. And it's really easy to see it once you know what you're looking for, but it can also be pretty toxic because your brain is focused on looking for that thing!

In this episode, I am going to share 3 main things that you can do to start aligning your business to your brain so you can stop focusing on trying to see your ADHD which can be overwhelming.

EPISODE 9

As entrepreneurs with ADHD, sometimes we want to be invisible as if we were not a rock in someone's way. But we should try NOT to do that–we can allow ourselves to take up space. So many of us have hidden, and have tried to tone down what we really want to say, what we really want to do because toning it down meant that it was safe. We felt like that was going to protect us and maybe to a certain extent it did protect us. But the question today is, is it protecting you now? Or is it holding you back? 

In this episode of the ADHD Owned Podcast, I talked about my own experiences as I navigate the shifts in my life as a first-generation Colombia American, a mother, a wife, an entrepreneur, and simply a human with a neurodivergent mind, and why I decided to share my story the way it is, to encourage ADHDers to take up space and to refuse to be invisible.

EPISODE 8

If we were not to label ADHD as a disability, as a mental condition, as a disorder, then what would that mean? Would that just mean that ADHD is non-existent, and our brain doesn't have any differences compared to what a typical “brain” would have? In this episode of the ADHD Owned Podcast, I shared my opinion on whether ADHD is a disability or just a neurological difference. I also shared what my ADHD journey looked like and the mindset shifts I went through to make ADHD not the villain of my story.
