On the show this week I brought in Alex Gilbert to chat all about all things ADHD, specifically as an entrepreneur.

Alex Gilbert is a New Yorker, a mom, a Mets fan, a yogi, and a brunch enthusiast. She also has dyslexia and ADHD. After spending her career working in leadership development, she decided to start a consulting and coaching business that will help adults with learning disabilities and/or ADHD like herself who have been struggling in their careers. Her business, Cape-Able Consulting, was created to help them navigate their day-to-day workloads so that they feel supported and are able to reach their highest potential. Her biggest goal in creating Cape-Able Consulting is to change the stigma surrounding learning disabilities/ ADHD by reminding people what they Cape-able of.

In this episode, we dive into:

How a lack of ADHD resources for adults led her to launch her consulting business.

The first steps you can begin to take to get diagnosed and why it can be difficult for women and POC to get a proper diagnosis.

How she schedules her day as an entrepreneur with ADHD and how she leans more into what she is good at and outsources the rest.

Her advice for better working with someone on your team who may have ADHD.

My earliest memory of first learning about a "period" was in the 5th grade when our teachers put the girls and boys into separate rooms and they had us watch a movie on VHS about a girl starting her period for the first time. We were then handed a small bag that included a pad and a pamphlet then sent home. That was it.

It took me YEARS, a terrible menstrual cycle, a few quacky doctors, and a lot of research to learn just how much our periods affect our daily lives. From the way we plan )or not plan) for a family, to the conversations we have, and yes, to even how we run our business.

That's why this week I am so incredibly excited to share with you the conversation I had with Berrion Berry!

Berrion (pronounced berry-on) Berry is a Women’s Health Coach, Fertility Awareness Educator, & founder of Optimize Your Flo. Her work educates, equips, and empowers modern girls and women to embrace their hormonal nature through understanding their bodies and simplifying their wellness routine. Her expertise has been showcased in MSNBC’s Film Periodical and even on some of your favorite platforms like 21Ninety, xoNecole, Balanced Black Girl, The Every Girl and many more. From menarche to menopause, Berrion covers it all and is dedicated to helping women achieve optimal health in every phase.

We cover so much in this episode! Berrion breaks down the different phases of the menstrual cycle, what to eat and how to work during each phase, how we can begin normalizing the conversation around periods, and so much more!

Autumn, a powerhouse NYC native, wears many hats. She's a non-profit founder, wife, mom, and successful entrepreneur, leading a digital marketing and design agency and several franchise ventures in Atlanta. But her true passion lies in advocating for maternal mental health, particularly for women of color. Driven by her own experiences with PMDD, anxiety, and depression, Autumn has become a vocal champion of moms juggling mental health and motherhood over the past six years. She uses her platform – blogs, podcasts, panels, and workshops – to share her struggles and advocate for change.

Autumn's mission is to raise awareness, influence policy, and foster a supportive community for mothers of color facing mental health challenges. She believes open conversations and a shift in societal views are crucial to empower these women.

In this week's episode, I chat with Autumn about her experience getting diagnosed with PMDD, how she manages it daily, and how it has affected her life as a mom and entrepreneur.

I’m so hype to announce the launch of the Doing Life…Well? podcast!

To be honest with you, I have been over the typical conversations around entrepreneurship for a long time now. Do we really need yet another conversation around creating a sales funnel, marketing strategy, or scaling to six figures? I doubt it. What I’m most interested in hearing about is what life is like for women entrepreneurs outside of their business.

How are they parenting?

What is dating like?

How are you managing anxiety and depression?

More importantly, how are you making rest a priority?

Each week, I’ll share candid conversations with inspiring women who share how they manage different aspects of their lives while building successful businesses! The first episode will drop on Monday!

Before you go, don’t forget to subscribe on Apple Podcasts or Spotify!

The Doing Life…Well? podcast is a listener-supported publication. To receive new episodes and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.

As an entrepreneur you have a strategy for literally everything in your business.   How to grow your audience, how to make more money or how to be seen as a leader in your industry. Everything in your business is strategically planned in order for you to hit a very specific goal which in turn, allows you to grow into a better entrepreneur.   So why do we not strategically plan for our own mental and physical wellness in the same way we do our content or marketing strategy? Why is that most entrepreneurs have to hit a serious case of burnout before they create some sort of self-care plan when our business would be nothing if we weren't in it?   No matter how many incredible strategies we use within our business to get to the next level, we are still our biggest asset. So why are we not focusing more on taking care of ourselves?   In this week's episode we chat about how to create your own self-care strategy!

I don't know about you, but it feels like this year is FLYING BY! I'm just now getting a grip on my goals and what I want to accomplish this year and here we are already in the second quarter of 2022!

If you've been listening to this show this year then you know that I announced a couple of months ago that me and my business are both going through a HUGE transition. I am shifting out of the coaching industry and with that, I'm completely stripping away the entire identity that I have given myself over the past 8 years. Needless to say, this first quarter has been interesting. A lot of people have asked me what was next and what goals I am setting for 2022 moving forward, so this week I wanted to update you on how the first quarter of this year went and what I'll be focusing on over the next 90 days.

Do you know what makes a successful entrepreneur different from those who are not? When business gets hard successful entrepreneurs, instead of sitting in their excuses, they instead figure out a solution to push past the problem that they are currently facing. Those who are not so successful often adopt a victim mindset and allow their excuses to hold them back from moving forward.

In this episode I share four ways that you can begin shifting into a solution mindset!
