We Discuss:

• Why photography is a great fit for creatives with ADHD — and where it can still get overwhelming

• Jill’s top 5 business tools that support her ADHD brain

• How a missed session became the wake-up call to use a scheduler

• Why she’s switching CRMs again — and what finally convinced her

TLDR:
This solo episode is part of Jill’s ADHD Awareness Month series, and it’s all about the tools that have helped her keep her business afloat despite her executive dysfunction. From schedulers and CRMs to AI assistants and editing software, Jill shares the five tools she leans on the most — not because they’ve “fixed” her ADHD, but because they’ve allowed her to keep showing up in her business when things get hard. If you’ve ever missed a session, avoided your inbox, or stared at a Lightroom folder for hours, you’re not alone — and these tools might just be the thing that help you keep going.
