Balancing the celebration and shame of ADHD entrepreneurs
ADHD entrepreneur - are you in celebration, or shame?
So there's one side of the ADHD conversation, and it's kind of a cheerleader world, right? It's this very positive spin on something that is actually a learning disability.
It's looking at all of the ADHD traits as superpowers.
It's looking at the magic of it. It's saying how creative you are and also kind of just laughing off some of the more inconvenient things that happen with people with ADHD.
The fact that we lose our keys, and the fact that we have very, very specific memories of, like where that one rubber band is that we put in a drawer, like seven years ago is, but we can't remember where we put our shoes.
So it's charming, it's fun, it's light, but there's also the dark underbelly of ADHD..." - Katie McManus, Brave Business Coaching

Who will get the most out of this episode about ADHD entrepreneurs and finding the balance between the darkness and light?
The truth is, yes, there are a lot of benefits to having ADHD.
We tend to be more creative, and connect the dots of problem solving more quickly than neurotypicals.
But there's also the dark underbelly of being a diagnosed card-carrying member of the ADHD community.
And when you're in business, you sometimes need to understand not only what those are, but how you can overcome them.
And thrive.
Because, my dear weenie, I really want you to thrive.
