Habits, Hyperfixations & Life with ADHD | Formerly Corporate to Calm. Now fully ADHD.
Welcome to ADHD IS… the podcast where we talk real life with ADHD.
Every week (maybe, probably, I don't know) I’m shooting the breeze about what it’s actually like to live, work and create with an ADHD brain.
We explore
- Symptoms, quirks & hyper fixations
- Habits that actually stick (for a while anyway)
- Business, productivity & burnout
- Sobriety, energy, and life hacks
- Navigating overwhelm while building your life
This is for neurodivergents, creatives, entrepreneurs and anyone whose brain works a little differently, ready to embrace it, not fight it.
New episodes drop weekly, relatable, honest and actionable.

This episode may have been recorded earlier in the life of the podcast, but the habits inside it are ones I still come back to especially as someone running a business with ADHD.
Here we explore simple, repeatable habits that support visibility, resilience and growth without burnout, particularly helpful if you struggle with consistency, overthinking or decision fatigue.
In this episode, we cover
1️⃣ The “Pick Me” List a habit for visibility
A weekly habit of proactive outreach that removes pressure and overthinking.
Instead of waiting to be discovered, you intentionally build connections by reaching out podcasts, collaborations, events or opportunities in a way that works with an ADHD brain.
2️⃣ Nurturing your own digital real estate
Your newsletter and website are spaces you own no algorithms, no noise.
We talk about why these platforms matter, how to maintain them in small, manageable chunks and how one hour a week can compound into long-term business stability.
3️⃣ Social media habits that don’t drain you
Rather than trying to do everything, this episode encourages choosing platforms that suit you.
Repurposing content, keeping things simple, and trusting that repetition is not failure it’s consistency.
This conversation sits at the intersection of habits, ADHD, business and energy focusing on systems that support you, not systems you have to force yourself into.
🎙️ ADHD IS… formerly Corporate to Calm
If you’re building a business with ADHD and want calmer, more sustainable ways to show up this episode is still very relevant.

This is an earlier episode of the podcast but the message is even more relevant now, especially if you’re building a business with ADHD.
Because let’s be honest
“Time management” advice doesn’t work for an ADHD brain.
In this episode, we reframe productivity through simple, repeatable habits that reduce overwhelm and increase revenue without burnout.
We cover
1️⃣ Revenue-First Thinking (ADHD-Friendly Focus)
Instead of trying to do everything, ask
“Is this actually making me money?”
- Identify your 3 key revenue-generating tasks
• Focus on what moves the needle
• Stop giving your best energy to low-impact admin
Less scatter. More clarity.
2️⃣ Delegation Without Guilt
Executive function is a resource not a personality trait.
If someone can do it better, faster, or with less mental load:
Delegate it.
Free your brain for the work only you can do.
3️⃣ Invest in Your Brain & Your Business
ADHD entrepreneurs thrive when we stay stimulated and adaptable.
- Stay aware of industry shifts
• Embrace new tools
• Be willing to pivot
• Don’t cling to outdated systems out of fear
Growth requires flexibility not perfection.
🔥 Your ADHD Business Challenge
Today
✔ Identify 3 revenue-generating tasks
✔ Complete them before anything else
✔ Research one new trend in your industry
✔ Ask: “How can I adapt this simply?”
This is about calm business, sustainable habits, and working with your ADHD brain not against it.

Sobriety & Self-Trust in Entrepreneurship | Rebuilding From the Inside Out
This is an earlier episode of the Corporate to Calm Podcast and the message is even more powerful now.
It can be so easy to lose yourself in
• Corporate pressure
• Toxic productivity
• Masking
• Performing instead of living
• Chasing dopamine instead of peace
In this conversation, I sit down with Amy Kiernan entrepreneur, founder, and sober trailblazer.
We talk about what happens when you stop outsourcing your worth and start rebuilding self-trust.
We explore
✨ Why sobriety can sharpen clarity for Entrepreneurial brains
✨ The difference between ambition and toxic productivity
✨ How corporate environments can erode self-trust
✨ Surrender vs control (especially when your nervous system loves chaos)
✨ Slowing down as a power move
✨ Building businesses that align with your wellbeing
Amy shares how embracing authenticity, not perfection helped her leave a high-profile corporate career and build a wellness-led business rooted in intention.
And here’s the ADHD piece:
So many high-achieving neurodivergent women overcompensate.
We overwork.
We overthink.
We override our intuition.
The Habit Path isn’t about doing more.
It’s about regulating your nervous system, building sustainable habits and creating structure that supports your brain, not burns it out.
Sobriety. Self-trust. Systems.
All connected.

Habits & Money | Why Budgeting Feels So Emotional
This is an earlier episode of the Corporate to Calm Podcast but if you’re an ADHD entrepreneur trying to build calm, it’s more relevant than ever.
Because money isn’t just numbers.
For ADHD brains, it’s often
• Avoidance
• Impulse spending (hello dopamine)
• Shame
• “I’ll deal with it later”
• All-or-nothing thinking
In this powerful conversation, I sit down with financial wellness expert Santis O’Garro, founder of The Budget Mindset Club, to talk about the habits behind financial empowerment.
And the truth?
You can’t build a calm business without building calm around money.
We explore
✨ “To be honest about money, you have to be honest with yourself.”
✨ The emotion behind spending (especially for neurodivergent brains)
✨ Why budgeting can feel lonely and how to make it sustainable
✨ Writing your debt down (and why that’s confronting but freeing)
✨ Santis’s journey clearing €15k+ of debt in under a year
✨ Her 4 Families Method
✨ Living and building with ADHD
Here’s what I love most about this episode
Budgeting isn’t restriction.
It’s regulation.
It’s a habit.
A system.
A way of reducing decision fatigue.
When you build financial systems that work with your ADHD not against it you create
More safety.
More clarity.
More choice.
And that’s the foundation of The Calm Business Method.
If money feels heavy, chaotic, or avoided. This one is for you.

Emotional Regulation & Safe Spaces at Work
This is an earlier episode of the Corporate to Calm Podcast but the conversation feels even more important now.
In so many instances work doesn’t just drain your time, it drains your nervous system.
Masking.
Overthinking.
People-pleasing.
Conflict sensitivity.
Emotional dysregulation.
In this episode we explore something we don’t talk about enough in business
Love as a value.
Emotional safety as strategy.
Connection as leadership.
I’m joined by Chartered Psychologist Niamh Hannan, who shares her work around emotional connection in the workplace and why people are entitled to a safe space at work.
And here’s the ADHD layer
When you have a busy brain, emotional safety isn’t a luxury.
It’s a necessity.
We talk about
✨ Creating psychologically safe workplaces
✨ Conflict resolution through emotional connection
✨ Rebuilding trust at work
✨ Why meditation becomes non-negotiable for busy brains
✨ Leading without losing yourself
“If you have a busy brain, you need meditation.”
That line hits differently when you understand ADHD.
Meditation isn’t about perfection.
It’s about regulation.
It’s a habit that creates space between stimulus and reaction.
And that space?
That’s where calm leadership lives.
The Habit Path isn’t just productivity.
It’s nervous system safety.
It’s emotional intelligence.
It’s structure that protects your brain.
If you’re an ADHD entrepreneur, leader or corporate survivor trying to build calm without shutting down your ambition, this one is for you.

ADHD & Alcohol | When “Fun” Is Actually Dysregulation
This is an earlier episode of The Corporate to Calm Podcast and if you’re ADHD, sensitive or building a calm life, this conversation hits differently now.
Because for many neurodivergent women, alcohol isn’t just social.
It’s
• Nervous system relief
• Masking support
• Dopamine on demand
• A way to quiet the noise
• A way to belong
And then… the crash.
The shame.
The overstimulation.
The emotional hangover that lasts longer than the physical one.
In this episode, I sit down with Alcohol-Free Mentor Olivia Farrelly to talk about untangling from alcohol culture and what happens when you choose clarity instead.
Olivia shares the moment everything shifted:
“I couldn’t exist with hungover me anymore. I couldn’t bear being so mean to me.”
That line lands hard when you understand ADHD self-criticism.
We explore
✨ Why alcohol and highly sensitive / ADHD brains don’t mix
✨ The link between dopamine, impulsivity & drinking
✨ Using your words to rewrite your story
✨ Removing alcohol as a habit shift, not a punishment
✨ The growth that happens when you regulate instead of numb
✨ Choosing peace over performance
Here’s the Habit Path truth
Sobriety isn’t restriction.
It’s nervous system regulation.
It’s self-trust.
It’s clarity.
For ADHD entrepreneurs especially, removing alcohol can mean
Better executive function.
Better emotional regulation.
Better boundaries.
Better mornings.
I’m almost four years into my sober journey and I echo this
“Giving up alcohol is one of the greatest achievements of my life.”
If you’re sober curious, grey area drinking or just questioning your habits, this conversation will meet you gently.

Creative & ADHD Entrepreneurs | Make Your Own Rules
This is an earlier episode of the Corporate to Calm podcast AND the message feels even stronger now.
Because if you have ADHD and you’re running a business, trying to follow traditional rules will burn you out.
In this conversation, I sit down with hypnotherapist for entrepreneurs Alice Nettleingham to talk about life design, freedom and building a business that actually fits your brain.
“If you’re gonna run your own business, make your own rules.”
And that hits differently when you’re neurodivergent.
We explore
✨ Designing a business around your energy (not expectations)
✨ Cutting complexity to reduce overwhelm
✨ The discipline behind freedom
✨ Letting go of “how it should look”
✨ Simplifying to scale
✨ Living and working intentionally
Here’s the actual and ADHD truth
Complexity creates paralysis.
Overcomplication kills consistency.
Freedom without structure becomes chaos.
The Habit Path isn’t about rigid routines.
It’s about simple systems that protect your creativity.
Structure protects your nervous system.
Structure protects your ideas.
Structure protects your income.
Alice’s journey from digital nomad to intentional entrepreneur is proof that you can design both life and business on purpose.
If you’re an ADHD or Creative entrepreneur craving more freedom but stuck in overwhelm, this episode will remind you
You don’t need more hustle.
You need cleaner habits and better systems.

ADHD, Reinvention & The Power of “Forward”
This is an earlier episode of the Corporate to Calm podcast but if you’re an ADHD entrepreneur or creative who’s reinvented yourself more than once, this will resonate deeply.
Because ADHD brains don’t follow linear paths.
We pivot.
We hyperfocus.
We outgrow.
We crave novelty.
We move countries.
We change industries.
In this episode, I sit down with journalist Fiona Alston, whose journey took her from horse racing to the tech sector and eventually to building a new life in Tallinn, Estonia.
Her mantra?
“Forward!"
And “Don’t drag things with you.”
That’s powerful for ADHD women.
Because one of our biggest challenges isn’t starting.
It’s carrying shame, past decisions, and “shoulds” that weigh us down.
We explore
✨ Reinvention without apology
✨ Making bold life pivots
✨ Navigating uncertainty with resilience
✨ Living nomadically and embracing change
✨ Choosing alignment over expectation
Here’s the Habit Path lens
Reinvention isn’t chaos.
It’s redirection.
But without structure, ADHD pivots can become reactive instead of intentional.
The goal isn’t to stop changing.
It’s to build habits and systems that anchor you while you evolve.
You can move forward.
Without dragging burnout.
Without dragging guilt.
Without dragging versions of you that no longer fit.
If you’re in a season of change career shift, relocation, identity evolution this conversation will remind you that forward is enough.
