EPISODE 9
Aligning your business to your brain is almost an afterthought for a lot of entrepreneurs with ADHD. Even after they've discovered that they have ADHD, they tend to spend a lot of time trying to learn the way ADHD manifests in their lives. And it's really easy to see it once you know what you're looking for, but it can also be pretty toxic because your brain is focused on looking for that thing!
In this episode, I am going to share 3 main things that you can do to start aligning your business to your brain so you can stop focusing on trying to see your ADHD which can be overwhelming. This episode is also a sneak peek to my latest offering–The 1 Day Workshop For ADHD Entrepreneurs Who Want The Strategies, Tools, & Blueprint To Learn How to Align Their Business To Their Brain & Play By Their Own Rules

EPISODE 9
As entrepreneurs with ADHD, sometimes we want to be invisible as if we were not a rock in someone's way. But we should try NOT to do that–we can allow ourselves to take up space. So many of us have hidden, and have tried to tone down what we really want to say, what we really want to do because toning it down meant that it was safe. We felt like that was going to protect us and maybe to a certain extent it did protect us. But the question today is, is it protecting you now? Or is it holding you back?
In this episode of the ADHD Owned Podcast, I talked about my own experiences as I navigate the shifts in my life as a first-generation Colombia American, a mother, a wife, an entrepreneur, and simply a human with a neurodivergent mind, and why I decided to share my story the way it is, to encourage ADHDers to take up space and to refuse to be invisible.

EPISODE 3
Taking pride in something we're good at and something we're really interested in makes us want it to look the best. We may even have an image in our brain of what the best looks like. But sometimes, it's hard to live up to that image and we end up being a perfectionist. But perfectionism can really hold us back in our business and halt our progress and ability to put out awesome things into the world that can help people. For many years, I used to say that my “perfectionism was the death of me”, and without realizing it started killing my entrepreneurial spirit and almost even my business. In this episode, I share how perfectionism is something that ADHDers struggle with a lot, where it stems from, and 3 simple tips I discovered on how we can manage it.

EPISODE 7
So many people like to talk about success stories but not so often do we talk about the “failures” that happen in everyday business. This episode of the ADHD Owned Podcast is a bit of storytelling where I shared a colossal mistake I made in my business and the hard lessons I learned from it. In your own ways, you've probably felt like you “dropped the ball” on certain things, and it's important for us to see them not as failures, and not proof that you should close up shop, but lessons that help you get through it. These lessons in business are even more important to talk about because these are the ones that we really learn from and that's what you're going to get from listening to this episode.
