ADHD | Entrepreneurs Imposter Syndrome, Self-Worth & The Habit of Taking Up Space with Amanda Grace

Sunday Nov 27, 2022

ADHD | Entrepreneurs Imposter Syndrome, Self-Worth & The Habit of Taking Up Space

This is an older episode of Corporate to Calm, but if you’re an ADHD entrepreneur navigating imposter syndrome, self-doubt or a late career pivot — this conversation will land deeply.

In this episode, I speak with Amanda Grace about identity, fear, sobriety, and what it really means to reclaim your life.

“Women are conditioned to take up as little space as possible.”

For ADHD women in business, that conditioning runs deep.

Masking.
People-pleasing.
Over-delivering.
Undercharging.
Playing small to stay safe.

Amanda’s journey from running her father’s bar in Killaloe to becoming a qualified psychotherapist after completing a four-year degree is a powerful example of what happens when you build new habits around self-worth.

ADHD can amplify

• Imposter syndrome
• Rejection sensitivity
• Fear of visibility
• Paralysis through overthinking
• Living “outside in” instead of internally aligned

Amanda shares how she didn’t truly meet herself until 34 because she was living as an observer rather than a participant in her own life.

That resonates with so many neurodivergent women.

Key Lessons for ADHD Business Owners

1️⃣ Imposter Syndrome Can Be Paralysing
But paralysis is a pattern not a personality flaw.
Small consistent visibility habits break the cycle.

2️⃣ It’s Never Too Late to Reclaim Your Life
Career change with ADHD isn’t failure.
It’s alignment.

3️⃣ Worthiness Is an Identity

“Worthy is an identity, it is the importance of being true to you.”

Confidence isn’t a feeling.
It’s reinforced through behaviour.

4️⃣ Sobriety & Nervous System Regulation
Amanda shares how sobriety saved her €40k in five years but more importantly, it supported clarity, healing and self-trust.

For ADHD entrepreneurs, nervous system regulation is business strategy.

5️⃣ Fear Shrinks When You Keep Showing Up
Not perfectly.
Not loudly.
But consistently.

Habits build identity.
Identity builds confidence.
Confidence builds business.

Why This Matters for Entrepreneurs

You cannot systemise your business if you don’t believe you’re worthy of success.

You cannot grow sustainably if you’re operating from shame.

Amanda’s story is proof that

✔ It’s never too late to pivot
✔ Self-worth is built, not found
✔ Grief and healing can fuel growth
✔ Taking up space is a practice

The latest episode of Corporate to Calm is live across all platforms.

If you’re navigating career change, building a business with ADHD, or learning to show up unapologetically, this episode is for you.

ADHD | Entrepreneurs When Closing a Business Is the Smartest Move You’ll Ever Make withAntoinette Young

Sunday Nov 20, 2022

ADHD | Entrepreneurs When Closing a Business Is the Smartest Move You’ll Ever Make

This is an older episode of Corporate to Calm, but if you’re an ADHD entrepreneur navigating burnout, career pivots or questioning your passion this conversation is powerful.

In this episode, I speak with Antoinette Young about closing a business she ran for nearly 20 years and moving into corporate where she found her version of calm.

“Imagine at 8 or 9 telling my aunt, someday I’ll have my own business.”

Antoinette did exactly that.

She built a business she loved.
She was fearless.
She was driven.

And when the late noughties recession hit, she made the courageous decision to close it.

For ADHD founders, identity can become fused with the business.

We often believe
• If I quit, I’ve failed.
• If I pivot, I’ve wasted time.
• If my passion fades, I’m inconsistent.

But sometimes the most regulated decision is to let go.

Antoinette transitioned into corporate and now works within British Airways, where her creativity, resilience and ability to manage change have allowed her to thrive.

Key Lessons for Business Owners

1️⃣ Listen to Your Gut
ADHD intuition is powerful when regulated.
Your body often knows before your brain rationalises.

2️⃣ Put Yourself Ahead of Others
People-pleasing leads to burnout.
Self-prioritisation builds sustainability.

3️⃣ Hard Work Pays Off But Alignment Matters More
Grinding through lost passion isn’t resilience.
It’s self-abandonment.

“When the passion goes it’s time to be true to yourself.”

4️⃣ Your Calm May Be in Corporate
Entrepreneurship isn’t the only path to freedom.
For some ADHD women, structure, innovation and change inside corporate environments provide nervous system safety.

Why This Matters for ADHD Entrepreneurs

ADHD business growth requires

✔ Identity flexibility
✔ Emotional regulation
✔ Habit-based decision making
✔ Courage to pivot
✔ Letting go of ego

Antoinette’s experience during Covid showed how powerful adaptability can be. Her history of entrepreneurship allowed her to lead through uncertainty with strength and calm.

Sometimes growth isn’t expansion.

Sometimes it’s redirection.

If you’re navigating career change, burnout, passion loss, or wondering whether business ownership is still aligned this episode offers honest perspective.

ADHD | Entrepreneurs Resilience Is a Habit, Not a Personality Trait with Yevheniia Lukash

Monday Nov 14, 2022

ADHD | Entrepreneurs Resilience Is a Habit, Not a Personality Trait

This is an older episode of Corporate to Calm, but the message is incredibly powerful for business owners navigating uncertainty, burnout or change.

In this episode, I speak with Yevheniia Lukash a woman whose story is built on resilience, determination and gratitude.

“I need to value my life every day.”

That sentence alone reframes everything.

Since 2014, Yevheniia has faced immense adversity and continued to move forward not through toxic positivity, but through action.

For ADHD founders, resilience can feel inconsistent.

We can be
• Highly motivated one week
• Overwhelmed the next
• Emotionally reactive
• Paralysed by overthinking

Yevheniia’s message cuts through the noise

“My action is more valuable than my message. I do not have time for pity.”

For ADHD entrepreneurs, this is powerful.

Momentum regulates the nervous system.
Action builds evidence.
Evidence builds confidence.

Key Lessons for Business Owners

1️⃣ The Value of Living in the Present
ADHD often swings between rumination and future anxiety.
Presence reduces overwhelm and sharpens focus.

2️⃣ Your Mindset Is Your Ally
Mindset isn’t affirmations, it’s disciplined thinking.
You cannot control everything.
But you can control your response.

3️⃣ Not Taking No for an Answer
Rejection sensitivity can stop progress.
Resilience habits keep you moving.

4️⃣ Helping Others Helps You
Yevheniia now supports Ukrainian businesswomen in growing their businesses through Instagram.
Service builds strength.
Contribution builds purpose.

Resilience isn’t dramatic.

It’s daily.

It’s
✔ Showing up when it’s uncomfortable
✔ Adjusting instead of quitting
✔ Choosing action over pity
✔ Staying solution-focused

Adjustment is a habit.
Action is a habit.
Gratitude is a habit.

And habits create calm.

If you’re building a business with ADHD and navigating uncertainty, this conversation will ground you in what really matters.

ADHD | Entrepreneurs Community Over Competition (And Why It Regulates Your Business) with The Business of Social

Tuesday Nov 01, 2022

ADHD | Entrepreneurs Community Over Competition (And Why It Regulates Your Business)

This is an older episode of Corporate to Calm, but the message is more relevant than ever for ADHD business owners navigating visibility, social media overwhelm and comparison.

“Let’s share our knowledge, let’s come together & let’s create something.”

In this episode, I speak with The Business of Social founded by social media mentors Devin Landers, Laura Stapleton and Marion Smyth.

Their mission?
Community over competition.

“There are more than enough clients out there for everyone.”

For ADHD entrepreneurs, that mindset shift is powerful.

Social media can dysregulate the ADHD brain.

• Obsessing over follower numbers
• Comparison spirals
• Dopamine hits from likes
• Inconsistent posting
• Overthinking content

But growth isn’t built on vanity metrics.

It’s built on connection.

Key Lessons

1️⃣ Community Over Competition
Isolation increases overwhelm.
Collaboration builds confidence and accountability.

2️⃣ Focus on the Right Metrics
Stop obsessing over followers.
Start looking at engagement, conversations, conversions.

Data reduces emotional decision-making.

3️⃣ Build Efficiencies
ADHD entrepreneurs need simple systems.
Content batching, templates, repeatable frameworks = less burnout.

4️⃣ Push Beyond the Comfort Zone
Visibility builds resilience.
Confidence comes from repetition, not perfection.

5️⃣ Nurture Your Audience
“You need to be nurturing your followers.”

Consistency in connection builds trust.
Trust builds sales.

This Can Help Business Growth

If you are an ADHD entrepreneur trying to grow on Instagram or online:

You don’t need more content ideas.
You need

✔ Clear systems
✔ Community support
✔ Focused metrics
✔ Consistent nurturing habits

Social media growth is not about doing more.

It’s about doing the right things repeatedly.

Community regulates your nervous system.
Systems regulate your business.

If you’re building a business with ADHD and want sustainable visibility without burnout this episode is packed with practical insights.

ADHD | Entrepreneurs Resilience Is a Habit, Not a Personality Trait with Amelia Peckham - Cool Crutches

Wednesday Oct 26, 2022

ADHD | Entrepreneurs Resilience Is a Habit, Not a Personality Trait

This is an older episode of Corporate to Calm, but if you are an ADHD entrepreneur navigating rejection, pivots and self-doubt this one hits differently.

In this episode I speak with Amelia Peckham from Cool Crutches.

“Whether you will be able to stand, we don’t know… whether you’ll be able to walk, we don’t know… we do know that you won’t be able to walk unaided.”

In 2005, Amelia broke her back in a quad biking accident.
Doctors didn’t know if she would walk again.

She was given three months to rehab.

Instead of support, she was handed standard NHS crutches that caused blisters within days clunky, noisy, unfit for purpose.

She was told to go back to bed.

As business owners are often told

• Slow down
• Be realistic
• Lower expectations
• Accept “no”
• Stay in your lane

But resilience for entrepreneurs isn’t about toxic positivity.

It’s about building habits that support momentum.

The ADHD Business Lessons from Amelia

1️⃣ Listen to Your Gut

Your intuition is often pattern recognition moving fast.
If something feels wrong explore it.

2️⃣ Design With the End User in Mind

ADHD entrepreneurs thrive when we solve real problems.
Amelia didn’t want sympathy.
She wanted a solution.

So she built one.

3️⃣ Don’t Take “No” as the Final Answer

She approached designers and was repeatedly told
“I can do everything except…”

Except wasn’t good enough.

Rejection is data. Not identity.

4️⃣ Hard Work + Systems = Sustainable Success

17 years later, Cool Crutches is thriving.
Amelia now works in the business full time.

Consistency beats intensity.

5️⃣ No One Will Sell Your Business Better Than You

Visibility can feel uncomfortable for ADHD founders.
But no one understands your mission like you do.

Confidence is built through repetition.

ADHD entrepreneurs often

• Hyperfocus in crisis
• Struggle with authority when it limits possibility
• Innovate because standard solutions don’t fit

Amelia’s journey is a masterclass in turning frustration into innovation.

She didn’t just accept the tools she was given.
She redesigned them.

That is entrepreneurial thinking.

If you’re building a business with ADHD.

Resilience isn’t about pushing harder.

It’s about building daily habits that support

✔ Momentum
✔ Problem-solving
✔ Self-trust
✔ Visibility
✔ Long-term thinking

You are worth more than you think.
Push outside the comfort zone.
Design differently.

If you are an ADHD entrepreneur building a business that works differently this episode will remind you what’s possible.

ADHD | Entrepreneurs When Experience Becomes Your Business Superpower with Denise Coughlan

Tuesday Sep 20, 2022

ADHD | Entrepreneurs When Experience Becomes Your Business Superpower

“Experience has been my greatest friend.”

This is an older episode of Corporate to Calm, but for ADHD entrepreneurs navigating uncertainty, pivots and burnout this conversation feels more relevant than ever.

In this episode, I speak with Denise from Resolute Wellness a fitness professional with 20+ years in the industry whose business was turned upside down during the pandemic.

From award wins in 2019 to opening a new premises in early 2020… and then everything changed.

Sound familiar?

The Entrepreneur Reality

When crisis hits, business owners can often

• Swing between hyperfocus and paralysis
• Question every decision
• Struggle with consistency
• Feel the emotional weight of responsibility

But here’s what Denise proves

Resilience is built through habits, not hype.

Lessons for ADHD Business Owners

1️⃣ Be True to Your Values

Denise left a secure role when her values no longer aligned.

ADHD entrepreneurs cannot sustainably operate in environments that clash with their core beliefs.

Misalignment leads to burnout.

Clarity builds calm.

2️⃣ Listen to Your Clients (Not the Noise)

During uncertainty, it’s easy to panic-pivot.

Instead, Denise focused on her community.

She created
• An online library of classes
• The Resolute Candle range
• Wellness networking events
• Workshops & “Zen Hens”

She adapted based on real needs not fear.

3️⃣ Push Outside the Comfort Zone

ADHD brains crave novelty.

Instead of shutting down during the pandemic, Denise experimented.

Trying and creating at all costs became her survival strategy.

Action reduces anxiety.

4️⃣ Resilience Is Repetition

Awards in 2019.
Pandemic in 2020.
Rebuild in 2021 and beyond.

Consistency isn’t about perfection.
It’s about returning to your values again and again.

5️⃣ Language Matters in Business

“Conversations need to happen about language in our industry.”

For ADHD entrepreneurs especially, words shape identity.

How you speak about your clients.
How you speak about yourself.
How you speak about your business.

All of it matters.

What Does This Means for Entrepreneurs

If you run a small business with ADHD

You don’t need to do everything.
You need to

✔ Anchor into your values
✔ Build repeatable habits
✔ Listen deeply to your clients
✔ Create simple systems
✔ Allow yourself to evolve

The pandemic tested every business owner.

But it also gave many permission to innovate.

Denise didn’t just survive.
She expanded her hub of wellness.

“Everyone is welcome at Resolute.”

That’s leadership.

If you are an ADHD entrepreneur looking to build a business that feels aligned, resilient and sustainable this episode is for you.

ADHD | Entrepreneurs Failure Is Not an Option (But Burnout Is) with Sarah Slattery, The Travel Expert

Monday Sep 05, 2022

ADHD | Entrepreneurs Failure Is Not an Option (But Burnout Is)

This is an older episode of Corporate to Calm, but if you are an ADHD entrepreneur building momentum after setbacks this conversation is gold.

In this episode, I speak with Sarah Slattery, founder of The Travel Expert.

“Failure is not an option.”

And for ADHD entrepreneurs? That hits differently.

Making Money From Your Passion (Without Losing Yourself)

Sarah spent 25 years in the travel industry, most of them with Sky Tours, eventually becoming a director.

But burnout, recession pressures and workload forced a pivot.

She left corporate.
She backed herself.
She built her own brand.

“It’s lovely to design your own day.”

That freedom is what many ADHD entrepreneurs crave.

But freedom without structure?
That’s chaos.

What Business Owners Can Learn From Sarah?

1️⃣ Pivoting Is a Skill

When the pandemic hit, many in travel paused.

Sarah doubled down.

She stayed visible.
She stayed consistent.
She kept serving her audience.

ADHD entrepreneurs thrive when they turn crisis into creative momentum.

2️⃣ Visibility Is a Habit

She grew
• Her mailing list
• Her website traffic
• Her Instagram presence

Not by accident.
By repetition.

Consistency builds authority.
Authority builds income.

3️⃣ Hard Work Needs Direction

ADHD founders are no strangers to working hard.

The difference?
Focused effort > scattered effort.

“I knew it could be big, if I put in the right time & effort.”

Right effort matters.

4️⃣ Push Outside the Comfort Zone

“When your back is to the wall, you push yourself.”

ADHD brains often perform in urgency.

But sustainable growth means
• Planned visibility
• Strategic pivots
• Clear systems
• Recovery time

5️⃣ Freedom Requires Systems

Designing your own day is powerful.

But ADHD entrepreneurs need
✔ Structure
✔ Repeatable marketing habits
✔ Content systems
✔ Clear weekly planning

Without them, freedom turns into overwhelm.

With them, it becomes scale.

The Key Entrepreneur Takeaway

Failure is not about shutting down.

It’s about
• Learning
• Adjusting
• Staying visible
• Showing up anyway

Sarah didn’t disappear when the industry struggled.

She grew.

That’s resilience with strategy.

If you’re an ADHD entrepreneur looking to grow your business sustainably this episode is packed with practical lessons on pivoting, visibility and building authority.

When Mums Lose Themselves | Reinvention, Confidence & Taking Your Life Back with Orla Goldrick

Wednesday Aug 24, 2022

“As mammies we spend so much time running after everyone… we lose ourselves.”

Whether you're working or building a business, raising a family, managing a home and trying to keep your life together… your own needs are often the first thing to disappear.

In this episode of the podcast I speak with Orla Goldrick, and her story is a powerful reminder that reinvention is always possible.

Orla’s journey is incredible

✨ 17 years working in Eddie Rockets, rising to management
✨ Pivoting careers for her family
✨ Going back to education when the job market demanded more
✨ Setting a huge personal goal to lose 50lbs
✨ Making a confident decision about surgery and owning her choices

But what really stands out is her mindset.

ADHD entrepreneurs often struggle with

• consistency
• self-image
• identity after becoming parents
• finding time for themselves
• setting big goals and actually following through

Orla shows what happens when you combine:

clear goals + personal responsibility + courage to change.

Sometimes the biggest habit shift isn’t productivity.

It’s deciding you’re allowed to prioritise yourself again.

🎙 If you're an ADHD entrepreneur trying to balance business, family and identity, this episode will resonate.

Listen to the full conversation on the podcast.

👇 I’d love to know

Have you ever felt like you lost yourself while raising a family or building a business?

How One Skill Turned Into a Business | The Power of Pivoting with Fiona Walsh

Tuesday Aug 16, 2022

“I help businesses present themselves better.”

For many ADHD entrepreneurs, the hardest part of business isn’t the work.

It’s finding your niche and trusting your experience.

In this episode of Corporate to Calm, I speak with Fiona Walsh from Imagine Coaching, whose journey proves that careers are rarely linear.

Fiona’s story includes

✨ Failing her A-Levels
✨ Building a long corporate career
✨ Moving countries
✨ Raising a family
✨ Discovering coaching
✨ Pivoting her business during the pandemic

And eventually finding a niche helping businesses present themselves better through PowerPoint and communication.

This episode explores lessons that resonate strongly with ADHD entrepreneurs

• The power of networking
• How curiosity creates opportunities
• Why pivoting is part of the journey
• Finding your niche by listening to what people ask you for

So many neurodivergent entrepreneurs struggle with identity, focus and direction in business.

But often the answer is already there in your skills, experience and natural curiosity.
