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
“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)
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.

“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
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.
Sometimes your business is simply hiding inside the questions people keep asking you.
🎙 If you are a solopreneur working from home, navigating ADHD, or trying to build your community, this episode will resonate.
Listen to Fiona’s journey from Corporate to Calm.

“Step into your power.”
For many ADHD entrepreneurs, the biggest challenge in business isn’t strategy.
It’s confidence.
Imposter syndrome.
Second guessing yourself.
Wondering if you’re really “good enough.”
In this older episode of Corporate to Calm, I speak with Lisa Haisha, founder of Soul Blazing.
Lisa’s journey is extraordinary.
She has been
✨ an actor
✨ a movie producer
✨ a screenwriter
✨ a keynote speaker
✨ a transformational coach
And through her experiences in Hollywood and around the world, she developed a powerful approach to helping people work through imposter syndrome and step into their potential.
This conversation is packed with insights that resonate strongly with ADHD entrepreneurs, including
• building confidence when you feel like an imposter
• saying no while refusing to give up on your vision
• widening your audience and thinking outside the box
• asking for help and using unexpected resources
• developing the resilience needed to succeed
ADHD entrepreneurs often carry incredible creativity and ambition — but we can also struggle with self-doubt and identity in business.
Lisa’s message is simple but powerful
You can be successful and fulfilled but you must learn to challenge the imposters in your mind every single day.
🎙 If you’re an entrepreneur looking for inspiration, confidence and a reminder of what’s possible, this episode is for you.
Listen to Lisa’s journey from Corporate to Calm.
👇 I’d love to know
Do you ever struggle with imposter syndrome in your business?

How Mistakes Build Better Entrepreneurs with Saifa Kajani
Tuesday Jul 26, 2022
Tuesday Jul 26, 2022
“You need to make mistakes in order to progress.”
Perfectionism is something many ADHD entrepreneurs struggle with.
We want the idea to be perfect.
The launch to be perfect.
The business to be perfect.
But the truth?
Progress comes from messy action and learning along the way.
In this oler episode of Corporate to Calm, I speak with Saifa Kajani, founder of The Drunken Cookie and honestly, she is an absolute powerhouse.
In her mid-20s, Saifa built a thriving cookie brand during the pandemic, combining creativity, resilience and pure entrepreneurial drive.
But her journey wasn’t simple.
Saifa opens up about
• navigating heartbreak and mental health
• building a business during uncertainty
• learning through mistakes rather than fearing them
• turning creativity into a unique product experience
• balancing her passions as a chef, entrepreneur and PT
Her cookies are bold, decadent and unapologetically over the top with flavours like
🍪 You Tart – vanilla & white chocolate topped with strawberry Pop-Tart
🍪 Kinder K-Hole – white chocolate with hazelnut crème and Kinder Bueno
But what makes Saifa stand out isn’t just the product.
It’s her mindset.
She isn’t afraid to experiment, evolve and keep pushing forward a lesson many ADHD entrepreneurs need to hear.
Because growth doesn’t come from avoiding mistakes.
It comes from taking action, learning quickly and trying again.
Saifa’s ambition?
To build the Krispy Kreme of cookies.
And honestly… after hearing her story, I wouldn’t bet against her.
If you’re an entrepreneur navigating setbacks, creativity or self-doubt, this episode is full of powerful reminders that progress comes from persistence.
Enjoy Saifa’s journey from Corporate to Calm.

A Holistic Weight loss Programme? - Caraldine Nolan - Weighless Wonders
Thursday Jul 14, 2022
Thursday Jul 14, 2022
The latest episode of Corporate to Calm feature Caraldine Nolan from Weighless Wonders. Caraldine is a force of nature. A mother, an entrepreneur, a business owner, an award winner. That’s not even mentioning her charity work.
Caraldine founded Weighless Wonders last December. This is a holistic weightloss programme very different from others on the market. Weighless Wonders is both online and in person and from her experience in Weight Watchers Caraldine has created a free members area full of meditation, exercise, budgeting tips, recipes. One of the biggest things Caraldine noticed about Weight Watchers was it was purely focused on food. She talks about how she would be in the queue for class and other members would be discussing their gym or yoga and Caraldine was focused on goal as she couldn’t afford these added extras. This has led to her holistic approach. Caradline and Weighless Wonders want to provide you with all the tools for losing weight not just calorie counting.
Following a nervous breakdown Caraldine was prescribed medication that caused her to gain five stone in three months. The meds caused her to crave sugar and she admits she was simply obsessed with food. A friend suggested she join Weight Watchers and the rest as they say is history. Whatever your opinion of these weightloss groups it provided Caraldine with an outlet to meet others, share her story, have time for herself as she was a carer for her two boys and lose nearly seven stone.
Caraldine hit her weightloss target, became a WW leader. She championed online during the pandemic and was a huge asset to the organisation. Last December she found out WW was closing in Ireland and that’s when Caraldine established Weighless Wonders and this company is now going from strength to strength. Caraldine was free to implement her own ideas, she was free from the constraints of her employer, and she flew.
This is a long one bit honestly you will love Caraldine’s journey from Corporate to Calm.

Knowing your Numbers - Edel Hayes - Accelerate Accounting
Tuesday Jun 28, 2022
Tuesday Jun 28, 2022
"Education and confidence in your finances can make a huge difference"
In this episode of Corporate to Calm I speak with Edel Hayes from Accelerate Accounting. Edel refers to Accelerate as a boutique accounting firm for women in business. She started the business when she realised that most small business were handing their accounts to their accountant at the end of the year and had no contact with them throughout.
Edel began her career in investment banking with Citibank and travelled the world. When she came home, Edel decided to retrain and become an accountant and her focus was laser sharp. After a variety of corporate roles and after having her second child Edel decided she was going to back herself. Fortunately, she had clients straight away.
Edel was ahead of the curve creating Accelerate Accounting, pre-pandemic as a virtual practice. She was ready for the pandemic as she didn’t have that growth curve that other businesses had.
“The systems and processes keep things moving and give me time back; I will delegate whatever I can”
Edel tells her clients to sit down and go through what you need in the business, this highlights what your strengths are and where the gaps are when you need help.
“Time track once a quarter, every single time I do it, I’m shocked – be hyper aware where your time is going”
Edel has a passion for travelling and business transferability allows her to work remotely. She encourages her clients to build a business that it easy for you to step away from. Flexibility and time are her priorities above money, this her version of success.
“What does success look like to you on weekly basis?”
Edel has developed a variety of online classes from The Profit Academy and Bookkeeping for businesses and is simply growing from strength.
Edel’s advice is sound and if you are a woman in business you need to contact her now to “future proof your business”
I hope you enjoy Edel’s journey from Corporate to Calm x

Give yourself & your business permission to Breathe - Norma O’Kelly

Monday Jun 13, 2022
"Take your time to feel what you want to feel in the moment"
In this episode of Corporate to Calm I speak with Norma O’Kelly. Norma started her corporate life in beverages and quickly moved to tech after an amazing stint in France and a bit of travelling (remember kids, it pays to have a second language). Working with Nokia, Oracle and a few start-ups, Norma eventually landed a role in Salesforce where she has ascended to marketing director.
“We can’t give ourselves permission to pause when the world is not giving us permission”
“Burnout is a cycle that will reappear again and again and again”
Redundancy, grief, and illness have played a role however resilience has been key to Norma’s journey and recognising when to slow down, listening to her head, heart and body.
“I was a natural mentor; my heart was in coaching”
Norma wants to help people; she is open and honest about her experiences, and this draws others to her. We also have an interesting discussion about selfcare and women’s health or lack thereof in Ireland.
“The world we live in is a take system”
Five years of challenges and a lifetime of extremes have brought her to where she is now Balanced, Happy, Content and looking forward to the journey ahead fully aware she is still dealing with her past.
“A coach is not an expert you are there to guide and support”
I loved every bit of Norma O’Kelly’s journey from Corporate to Calm.
I hope you do too x
