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.

Rejection is a universal experience, especially for entrepreneurs. In my latest conversation with Alice Draper, we discussed how building resilience isn’t just about bouncing back; it’s about embracing rejection as part of growth. Alice’s insights, like creating a “rejection resilience muscle” and staying rooted in our “why,” offer practical wisdom for anyone looking to turn setbacks into stepping stones.

However, persistent self-doubt and the negative messages we've internalized tend to override these instincts. If you ever experienced being shamed for being eager and quick-thinking during your schooling years, this can significantly contribute to negative self-evaluation. The shame from these experiences accumulates, making us question the very instincts meant to protect us. This can render us susceptible to the narcissistic partner’s tricks. 

As female entrepreneurs, most of us are juggling a multitude of responsibilities, from managing our businesses to looking after our families. This intense balancing act can be particularly daunting for those of us with ADHD. ADHD is characterized by symptoms of inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity, which can significantly impact our daily lives and our ability to focus and manage our tasks.
