What inspired you to get started as an entrepreneur?

My journey as an entrepreneur was inspired by my own experience growing up undiagnosed with ADHD. Feeling misunderstood and labeled as lazy, disorganized, or too sensitive left me carrying shame and self-doubt. Discovering your ADHD reframed my perspective and allowed me to embrace your unique strengths.

This transformation fueled my passion to help other women with ADHD overcome similar struggles, find self-love, and unlock their potential. I wanted to create a space where these women could simplify the tech side of their businesses, focus on their strengths, and build something amazing—just like I did.

My personal journey of turning challenges into empowerment is what drives my mission to help others thrive in life and business.

What was your biggest struggle to get things going for your online business?

My biggest struggle when I was starting my online business was dealing with the overwhelming amount of tech and figuring out where to focus my energy. With ADHD, it felt like every new idea or tool was pulling me in a million directions. I’d get stuck in analysis paralysis—spending too much time researching and second-guessing myself instead of taking action.

On top of that, I wrestled with imposter syndrome, constantly wondering if I was good enough or if people would really value what I had to offer. It took a lot of trial and error, self-reflection, and learning to embrace my strengths to push through those doubts and create systems that worked for me.

Was there a time you thought about giving up? What kept you from quitting?

Many times I have thought of quitting. I don’t quit because my husband, who is disabled, needs me. Being there for him and being available whenever he needs me keeps me going. His strength and resilience inspire me daily, and I know I’m not just building a business for myself—I’m building it to create the freedom and flexibility to support him fully. Every challenge I face in my business is a reminder of why I’m doing this. I want to create a life where I can be present for him, provide for us, and do what I love without compromise. His need for me pushes me to keep moving forward, even on the tough days.

What have you learned since beginning?

Since beginning my entrepreneurial journey, I’ve learned a lot about resilience, adaptability, and the power of embracing my unique strengths. Here are a few key lessons:

  1. Embrace Imperfection: I’ve learned that things don’t have to be perfect to move forward. Progress is more important than perfection, and sometimes taking imperfect action is what gets you closer to your goals.
  2. Trust Myself: I’ve become more confident in trusting my instincts and abilities. While I still face doubts, I now recognize my value and the impact I can have on others, especially women with ADHD.
  3. Systems Are Key: The tech side of things doesn’t have to be overwhelming. I’ve developed systems that work for me and my clients, which has made a huge difference in simplifying my work and growing my business.
  4. Self-Care is Non-Negotiable: Balancing a business, personal life, and being there for my disabled husband has taught me the importance of setting boundaries and prioritizing self-care to avoid burnout.
  5. Community is Everything: I’ve learned that the support of a like-minded community is invaluable. My membership and workshops have shown me how much we can grow together when we have the right resources and support.

Ultimately, I've learned that my business is more than just a job—it's a way to help others while creating a life that works for me and my family.

What's the best advice you've received?

The best advice I’ve received is to trust the process and be patient with myself. Starting and growing a business is a journey, not a race. There will be ups and downs, but each step, even the setbacks, is part of building something meaningful.

I’ve learned that success doesn’t happen overnight, and it’s okay to take things one step at a time. This advice has helped me let go of the pressure to be perfect and reminded me that it’s more important to keep moving forward, even if it’s at a slower pace. It’s about consistency, showing up, and staying true to my purpose.

What advice would you give someone just starting out?

If you're just starting out with ADHD, here's the advice I’d give:

  1. Embrace Your Strengths: ADHD can bring creativity, energy, and out-of-the-box thinking. Instead of trying to fit into a conventional mold, lean into the unique ways your brain works. Those “distractions” can often lead to innovative ideas.
  2. Keep Things Simple: ADHD can make overwhelming tasks feel impossible. Break everything down into small, manageable steps, and focus on one thing at a time. You don’t need to do everything at once—just move forward, even if it's in tiny steps.
  3. Set Up Systems Early: Organization might not come naturally, but setting up systems for everything—like task lists, reminders, and calendars—will save you so much stress later. Find tools that work for you, whether it’s a digital planner or post-it notes on your desk.
  4. Don’t Be Afraid to Adjust: What works today might not work tomorrow, and that’s okay. Be flexible and willing to adjust your systems and routines as needed. ADHD often means we need to try different approaches until we find what clicks.
  5. Create Accountability: Having someone to check in with can help keep you on track. Whether it's a coach, a mentor, or a friend, having someone to help you stay accountable can make a big difference, especially when focus is a challenge.
  6. Practice Self-Compassion: ADHD can come with a lot of self-doubt and frustration, especially when things don’t go as planned. Be kind to yourself and recognize that your challenges aren’t a reflection of your worth or ability. Celebrate the wins, no matter how small.
  7. Manage Your Energy: ADHD can mean you burn out quickly. Listen to your body, take breaks when you need to, and don't feel guilty about it. Your brain needs rest to function at its best, so take time to recharge.

Starting a business with ADHD isn’t always easy, but with the right tools and mindset, you can create something amazing. Embrace your journey, take it one step at a time, and trust that your ADHD won’t hold you back—it can be the secret weapon that sets you apart.
