ADHD | Leadership & The Habit of Intentionality with Katy Lumsden

Wednesday Jul 12, 2023

ADHD, Leadership & The Habit of Intentionality

This is an earlier episode from Corporate to Calm and this conversation feels even more relevant now.

Because leadership with ADHD doesn’t start with authority.

It starts with self-awareness.

In this episode, I’m joined by Katy Lumsden, founder of Know No Bounds Leadership, also known as The Noisy Introvert.

Katy works in Human Resources, Organisational Development and Behavioural Leadership. She brings a powerful perspective on intentional leadership and values-led decision making.

For ADHD and AuDHD leaders, challenges can include

• Emotional intensity
• All-or-nothing thinking
• Burnout from overcommitting
• Sensitivity to criticism
• Masking in corporate environments

Katy’s story includes navigating postnatal depression and leaning into her faith and coaching. This is a reminder that resilience is not about pushing harder.

It’s about building habits that anchor you.

Leadership isn’t a title. It’s repeated behaviour.

Through the Habits Path lens, Katy highlights

✨ Intentional daily actions
✨ Values as a decision-making compass
✨ Self-reflection as regulation
✨ Consistency over performative productivity

For ADHD professionals, values alignment reduces decision fatigue and protects the nervous system.

When your habits match your values, leadership feels sustainable not exhausting.

Why This Matters

If you are leading a team while managing ADHD, you don’t need to be louder.

You need to be aligned.

Katy’s vulnerability, particularly around motherhood and mental health, shows that powerful leadership is built on authenticity, not perfection.

ADHD | Money & The Habit of Intentional Spending with Emily Burnett

Wednesday Jul 05, 2023

ADHD | Money & The Habit of Intentional Spending

This is an earlier episode from Corporate to Calm and the conversation is incrediblyMy ADHD Habit Tracker

Align your habits with your energy not the other way around!
If you’r relevant for ADHD women today.

Because when you have ADHD, money isn’t just maths.

It’s dopamine.
It’s avoidance.
It’s impulsivity.
It’s shame cycles.
It’s emotional regulation.

In this episode, I speak with Emily Burnett, founder of Moso Money, about overcoming $50,000 of debt in her 20s and rebuilding her relationship with money through intentional habits.

ADHD can show up financially as

• Impulse spending for dopamine
• Avoiding bank statements
• “All or nothing” budgeting
• Late fees & forgotten payments
• Emotional spending after hard days

Emily’s journey highlights something powerful

Financial freedom isn’t about restriction.
It’s about behaviour change.

And behaviour change = habits.

Through the Habits Path lens, money becomes a system, not a mood.

Emily speaks about
✨ Intentional spending
✨ Conscious decision-making
✨ The power of mentorship
✨ Small consistent financial habits

For ADHD brains, external accountability (like a money mentor) reduces overwhelm and creates structure where executive function struggles.

Money clarity creates nervous system calm.

And nervous system calm improves every other habit.

You cannot build a calm business on chaotic finances.

You cannot scale while avoiding numbers.

Financial regulation supports emotional regulation.

This episode is a reminder
Shame doesn’t fix money.
Systems do.

ADHD | Visibility & The Habit of Showing Up with Louise Brogan

Tuesday Feb 14, 2023

ADHD | Visibility & The Habit of Showing Up

This is an earlier episode of Corporate to Calm and if you are an ADHD entrepreneur trying to grow on LinkedIn, it is more relevant than ever.

Because building visibility with ADHD isn’t about motivation.

It’s about systems.

In this episode, I’m joined by Louise Brogan, founder of LinkedIn with Louise.

Louise’s journey took her from the Health Service in Northern Ireland to running a craft shop… to building a thriving LinkedIn business when the corporate career she once loved no longer loved her back.

Sound familiar?

For ADHD founders, LinkedIn can feel like

• Inconsistent posting
• Overthinking content
• Niche hopping
• Comparison spirals
• Networking avoidance

Louise’s story reinforces something powerful

Your Network is your Net Worth but only if you build it intentionally.

Success on LinkedIn isn’t about hacks.

It’s about repeatable habits.

Louise shares key lessons around

✨ The importance of choosing a clear niche
✨ The value of having a coach (external accountability matters for ADHD brains)
✨ Building and nurturing your network
✨ Giving before asking

For ADHD entrepreneurs, structured visibility reduces overwhelm.

When you systemise content, outreach, and engagement, you remove the emotional rollercoaster from growth.

Calm business growth > chaotic bursts of effort.

If you are navigating career change, redundancy, or the “corporate no longer fits” feeling, this episode will resonate.

You don’t need more ideas.

You need aligned habits and visible consistency.

And that is what builds sustainable momentum.

ADHD | Entrepreneurs Your Habits Shape Your Happiness (More Than You Think) with Diala Hanna

Sunday Jan 22, 2023

ADHD | Entrepreneurs Your Habits Shape Your Happiness (More Than You Think)

This is an older episode of Corporate to Calm, but the message is incredibly relevant for ADHD business owners navigating mindset, energy and intentional growth.

In this episode, I speak with Diala Hanna, founder of My Power of Happiness.

Diala’s journey began with one uncomfortable moment a friend asking why she was always complaining.

That conversation became a catalyst.

Since then, she has
• Done the deep mindset work
• Written a book with her son
• Built a powerful social media presence with her mother
• Created a platform helping others find their “Power of Happiness”

From Lebanon and now based in Dubai, Diala’s message is simple but powerful

Happiness is intentional.

For ADHD founders, mindset isn’t fluff.

It’s regulation.

We can default to
• Negative self-talk
• Catastrophic thinking
• Time blindness
• Reactive decision-making
• Emotional overwhelm

But habits shift identity.

And identity shifts business.

This episode reinforces three core pillars that matter deeply for ADHD entrepreneurs

1️⃣ Mindset Shift
Your thoughts create behavioural patterns.
Your behavioural patterns create business results.

2️⃣ Intention With Your Time
If you don’t decide where your time goes, distraction will.
Time boundaries = nervous system safety.

3️⃣ Living the Life You Actually Want
Not the one that looks successful.
Not the one that wins approval.
The one aligned with your values and capacity.

Happiness isn’t accidental.
It’s built through small, repeatable habits.

Why This Matters for ADHD Business Owners

You cannot systemise your business if your internal dialogue is chaotic.

You cannot scale sustainably if you are emotionally dysregulated.

Intentional habits create
✔ Emotional regulation
✔ Clarity
✔ Consistency
✔ Sustainable growth

This episode is a reminder that mindset work is business strategy.

ADHD | Entrepreneurs Why Simplicity, Niche & Asking for Help Are Business Superpowers with Stephen Murtagh

Sunday Dec 11, 2022

ADHD | Entrepreneurs Why Simplicity, Niche & Asking for Help Are Business Superpowers

This is an older episode of Corporate to Calm, but the lessons are incredibly relevant for ADHD business owners building sustainable growth.

In this episode, I speak with Stephen Murtagh known as The Exhibition Guy a globally recognised, award-winning exhibition strategist and sales trainer.

Stephen has devoted his career to helping businesses maximise their exhibition strategy and sales process. But what makes this conversation powerful for ADHD entrepreneurs isn’t just sales expertise.

It’s the habits behind the success.

If you’re an ADHD entrepreneur, you might recognise

• Overcomplicating offers
• Avoiding asking for help
• Trying to serve everyone
• Burning out from doing everything alone
• Shiny object syndrome in marketing

Stephen’s message is clear

“It’s not that I didn’t have support, it’s that I didn’t ask for it.”

And for ADHD founders, that hits hard.

Independence can become isolation.

Lessons for Entrepreneurs

1️⃣ The Importance of Niching Your Product or Service
Clarity reduces cognitive overload.
When you niche, decision-making becomes easier.
Messaging becomes simpler.
Sales become cleaner.

A defined niche is an executive function support tool.

2️⃣ The Importance of Asking for Help
ADHD brains thrive with accountability and external structure.

Coaches. Mentors. Peers.
Support isn’t weakness, it’s strategy.

3️⃣ Keeping Business Uncomplicated

“The more you complicate things, the more complicated they become.”

Over-engineering systems creates overwhelm.
Overwhelm leads to avoidance.
Avoidance leads to inconsistency.

Simplicity builds momentum.

4️⃣ Continual Training to Future-Proof Your Business

Growth isn’t accidental.

Stephen moved from Yellow Pages sales to stationery to concept selling to becoming globally recognised in exhibitions.

He faced business closure in the late noughties.
He faced the people he owed money.
He rebuilt.

That’s resilience.
That’s habit-based growth.

Why This Matters for ADHD Founders

Exhibiting, marketing, selling these are high-investment activities.

As Stephen says

“Exhibiting is the most expensive way to market your business, if you do it wrong.”

ADHD entrepreneurs don’t need more tactics.

They need
✔ Clear niche
✔ Simple systems
✔ Support structures
✔ Consistent skill development

Business calm comes from structure, not hustle.

If you’re navigating career change, building a business, or trying to systemise your ADHD brain in business this conversation is packed with practical wisdom.

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.
