Hey there,

A while ago, I wrote a blog post about ADHD and business ownership, and it’s one of the most personal things I’ve published on my professional blog.

If you’ve ever felt too scattered, too emotional, or too you to be taken seriously, I wrote it with you in mind.

Let’s talk about how I’ve made my business work for my brain, not the other way around.

A huge aspect about business is the human aspect of it. And along with that comes expectations. Yes, sometimes it’s very cut and dry. You pay for a service, you get a service. But sometimes there are unspoken assumptions placed on all parties, and sometimes that leads to miscommunication and frustration.

That happened to me last year. I thought everything was fine. I delivered what I promised, showed up with care, and stuck to a workflow that actually worked for me. But apparently, it wasn’t “professional enough” for someone else.

There’s this moment that hits every neurodivergent business owner eventually: You realize the only standard you’ve been trying to meet… isn’t yours.

For months after that, I twisted myself into knots trying to do things “their way.” Earlier mornings. More meetings. Fewer boundaries.

And guess what? It didn’t make the work better. It just made me bitter.

Eventually, I learned to stop shutting myself down, and work with the way my brain worked. I stopped booking morning meetings. Not because I was lazy or unprofessional, but because I live with chronic insomnia and function better later in the day. My work improved. My energy stabilized. And no one noticed… because no one cared, especially after I started being more selective in who I work with.

This blog post walks through how I work in my business by working with my neurodivergence, not against it.

If you’re craving permission to do the same, consider this it.
