Ep51 - Lessons From 2025 as a Self Employed ADHD Woman
This episode is a heartfelt look at a year that unfolded nothing like I expected. From illness to surgery delays to supporting my son through a frightening heart problem, 2025 pulled me in every direction.
It was also the year I pivoted from full time wedding photography into mentoring and business education, a shift driven by intuition, exhaustion and the realisation that my work and life needed to evolve. What emerged were lessons that reshaped how I think about success, strategy, time and self belief.
I share the messy middle behind the pivot, the mindset wobbles that came with starting a podcast, the fear of being seen and the power of finding rooms where you actually belong.
If you have ever run a business while juggling ADHD, motherhood, health issues or simply being human, these lessons will feel familiar. This is your reminder that growth often looks like taking one brave step at a time, even when the path feels uncertain.
Highlights:
(01:44) When illness and delayed surgery shaped the entire first half of 2025
(05:58) The moment an inner voice said, You need to stop shooting weddings now
(10:22) Navigating her son's heart emergency while running a business
(14:48) The shift from overwhelm to realising her goals were already being met
(20:10) Why weekends finally became her own after years in photography
(27:35) The lesson that you belong in the room, even when imposter syndrome says otherwise
