Sleep issues have always been a part of my life as an entrepreneur with ADHD, but discovering Delayed Sleep Phase Syndrome (DSPS) was a game-changer. Unlike revenge bedtime procrastination—where you stay up late for personal "me time"—DSPS is a clinical condition that shifts your internal clock, making it nearly impossible to fall asleep before the early hours of the morning. If you've tried blackout curtains, melatonin, or countless sleep hacks with little success, your sleep struggles might not be about willpower—they could be about biology. Understanding the difference between these patterns and seeking targeted solutions like light therapy and strategic melatonin use can be life-changing. If this resonates with you, you’re not alone. Learning to work with your body, not against it, is key to thriving both personally and professionally.

I recently connected with two inspiring business coaches, Stephanie Wasylyk and Justine Clay, who focus on supporting entrepreneurs with ADHD traits. Surprisingly, both are neurotypical, offering fresh perspectives that challenge the assumption that only those with ADHD can coach others with the condition. Our conversation highlighted the importance of inclusivity, flexible systems, and viewing ADHD as a part of one’s identity—not the whole story. We discussed the pitfalls of over-identification, the power of creating tailored support systems, and how empathy and adaptability are at the heart of effective coaching. Whether neurodivergent or not, great coaches help clients embrace their creativity, resilience, and unique potential.
