Yay for Business with Courtney Chaal

Building a Business That Works with Your Brain with Claire Paniccia

Neurodivergent entrepreneurs—this one’s for you. 💥

In this deeply personal episode, I’m sharing the raw truth about what it’s like to grow a business when your brain doesn’t fit the traditional mold. From getting an ADHD diagnosis in my 30s to the very real experience of burnout and creative shutdown, I’m pulling back the curtain on how I’ve had to radically rethink what “success” looks like—and why the neurodivergent lens changes everything.

This episode is both an invitation and a permission slip to build a business that works with your brain, not against it.

I also give you a behind-the-scenes preview of the upcoming Neurodiverse CEO Summit—a 3-day event for entrepreneurs who are ready to stop pretending, start accommodating their brains, and build wildly aligned businesses.

Whether you’re diagnosed, self-diagnosed, or just starting to suspect that your brain might be wired differently, you are so welcome here.

🧠 Here's what we explore in this episode:

  • What it feels like to build a business when you’re constantly working against your brain
  • The link between neurodivergence, creativity, and burnout
  • Why “mindset” talk often misses the mark for neurodiverse folks
  • How I’m reimagining my business to honor my ADHD diagnosis and capacity
  • The difference between doing business as a “healthy person” vs. one with a unique brain
  • Why traditional systems and productivity hacks can actually make things worse
  • The story behind the Neurodiverse CEO Summit—and why I created it
  • A vision for business that honors who you are, not who you’re trying to perform as

✨ SPECIAL INVITE: The Neurodiverse CEO Summit (July 28–31) Claire is hosting the free virtual Neurodiverse CEO Summit, and she wants you there!
