If sales feels heavy, awkward, or mentally exhausting, it’s probably not because you’re bad at it.

It’s more likely because you’ve been trying to sell using advice that relies on pressure, performance, or rigid systems - the exact things that make ADHD brains freeze, overthink, or avoid the conversation altogether.

In this episode, Skye sits down with Wes Schaeffer (The Sales Whisperer) to talk about how to sell in a way that actually feels calm, grounded, and sustainable — without hype, manipulation, or forcing yourself into a persona that doesn’t fit.

This isn’t about “loving sales” or magically becoming confident.

It’s about:

• reducing anxiety around money conversations
• having something to lean on when your confidence dips
• and building just enough structure so sales stops living rent-free in your head

Wes breaks down why money talk feels so uncomfortable, how scripts can reduce stress instead of making you sound robotic, and why avoiding systems usually creates more chaos — not less.

If you’ve ever known you should follow up, talk about pricing, or ask for the sale… and still found yourself procrastinating, this conversation will feel uncomfortably accurate — in a good way.

No hustle. No sleaze. No “just be confident” advice.

In this episode, we talk about:

• Why sales feels uncomfortable for ADHD entrepreneurs and what is actually happening underneath that resistance
• How to talk about money and pricing without sounding pushy or rehearsed
• When scripts and systems help ADHD brains and when they make things worse
• A calmer approach to follow-ups that does not rely on pressure or guilt
• How small sales systems reduce burnout, decision fatigue, and avoidance over time

A lot of people with ADHD deal with physical symptoms they’ve never talked about - or never thought were connected.

This episode looks at what the research actually shows about ADHD and gut issues, and where the line is between association, speculation, and overreach.

ADHD usually gets framed around focus, motivation, and productivity. But growing research suggests it may also be linked to very real physical symptoms, including gut issues that many people quietly live with.

In this episode, Skye and Will break down a major research review examining the connection between ADHD and IBS - what the data shows (and what it doesn’t), and why this matters for quality of life, not just symptom labels.

No biohacks. No diet rules. Just context, clarity, and what’s worth paying attention to if you’ve ever felt like ADHD affects more than just your brain.

What we cover:

• What this large ADHD + IBS study actually found (and what it didn’t)
• Why IBS showed up - but other gut issues didn’t
• How physical discomfort can quietly compound ADHD overwhelm
• Why this research matters even if you don’t have gut issues

If the word accounting makes your attention disappear, this episode is for you.

Skye sits down with Joe Dunaway - founder of Vici Financial, accountant, business owner, and ADHDer - to talk about why so many ADHD entrepreneurs avoid their numbers, and how to understand them without overcomplicating things or forcing yourself into systems you won’t maintain.

This isn’t about becoming good at accounting.

It’s about knowing enough to make decisions, reduce background stress, and stop guessing about your business.

We cover:

• Why accounting causes shutdown for ADHD brains
• The real cost of avoiding your numbers
• The fastest way finances get messy (and how to stop it)
• How to separate signal from noise in your financials
• When numbers actually become useful instead of overwhelming

If you’ve been telling yourself “I’ll look at it later” — this conversation will help you finally look, without spiraling.

Kids with ADHD are not just more likely to struggle academically. They are more visible, more misunderstood, and often less liked by peers and teachers.

In this Research Recap, Skye and Will unpack a study on ADHD, social status, and bullying, and talk honestly about what it felt like to stand out in school for reasons you did not choose.

This is not a conversation about extreme bullying or obvious cruelty. It is about the quieter experience many ADHD kids grow up with. Being noticeable. Being different. Being picked last, corrected more often, or feeling out of sync with everyone else.

If school felt harder than it should have, even when you could not explain why, this episode will likely hit close to home.

What we cover:

• Why kids with ADHD are more visible in the classroom, but not for positive reasons
• How peer likability and teacher relationships shape vulnerability over time
• The difference between obvious bullying and subtle social exclusion
• Why being “the noticeable kid” can quietly rewire how school feels emotionally
• What this research helps explain for adults still unpacking their school experience

Growing a business is hard.

Doing it with ADHD - while raising five kids - can make you feel like your brain is actively working against you.

In this episode, Skye talks with Tiana Sutton, a fitness instructor, community builder, and mother of five, about realizing she had ADHD later in life - not through childhood struggles, but through business, memory issues, and the feeling that she couldn’t keep up with herself anymore.

They talk honestly about working memory falling apart, starting things with energy and losing momentum, learning how to sell without pressure, and what it looks like to keep showing up even when progress feels invisible.

This isn’t a success story or a hustle episode.

It’s a real conversation about understanding your brain after you’re already overwhelmed - and deciding to keep building anyway.

If you have ADHD, you probably know this pattern. You’re foggy, scattered, or stuck… until a deadline hits. Then suddenly, you’re laser-focused, productive, unstoppable. And afterwards, you’re wrecked.

In this episode, Skye and William Curb from Hacking Your ADHD unpack why hyperfocus feels like the only way to get things done, and why it quietly creates more stress, burnout, and long-term chaos than most people realize. 

Using research on university students, we explore how executive function difficulties change the way ADHD brains access focus, why more ADHD symptoms often lead to more hyperfocus (not less), and why relying on pressure is not a sustainable strategy, even if it looks productive on the surface. 

This episode is for late-diagnosed adults, professionals, and business owners with ADHD who keep asking themselves: 

“Why do I only function when everything’s urgent?” 

“And why does it always cost me afterwards?” 

What we cover:

- Why hyperfocus shows up most when things feel critical or overwhelming 
- How executive function difficulties push ADHD brains into last-minute intensity 
- The difference between intense focus and sustainable focus 
- How hyperfocus borrows energy from your future self 
- What this pattern means for productivity, stress, and burnout long-term

Ads are overwhelming for a lot of ADHD business owners, not because they are bad at marketing, but because the information is scattered, noisy, and contradictory.

In this episode, Skye talks with ads expert Jeremy Pogue, founder of Summit Acquisition, about how ads actually work at a high level, what they are and are not responsible for, and how to think about them without spiraling into complexity.

This is a grounding conversation designed to help you understand the landscape before you decide anything.

What we cover

• Ads as awareness, not instant results
• Why starting small matters emotionally and financially
• The role of time and patience in ad performance
• Common misunderstandings that create anxiety
• How to tell if ads even belong in your business right now

Video is everywhere, but very little of it is designed with ADHD in mind.

In this Research Recap, Skye and William Curb from Hacking Your ADHD unpack a qualitative study exploring how people with ADHD actually experience video content. From captions to pacing to visual overload, they look at what helps, what hurts, and why one size never fits all.

They also talk about why many ADHD viewers adapt by speeding up videos, multitasking, or using video as background stimulation, and how those habits make a lot more sense once you understand the research.

This is a grounded look at accessibility, attention, and why flexibility matters more than rules when it comes to ADHD and learning.

What we cover

• How ADHD viewers experience video differently
• Why captions help some people and frustrate others
• The impact of pacing and playback speed on focus
• Why redundancy can improve comprehension
• What accessibility really means for ADHD

People love to say ADHD comes with superpowers. The research is more nuanced.

In this Research Recap with William Curb from Hacking Your ADHD, Skye and Will examine two papers that look at ADHD strengths in careers. They discuss the themes that appear across 79 studies, the stories from qualitative interviews, and the complicated truth about strengths that can help and hurt depending on context.

What we cover:

• Why creativity and idea linking appear across ADHD career research
• Hyperfocus: strength, liability, or both
• How environment can support or sabotage ADHD strengths
• The emotional side of ADHD achievement before diagnosis
• The role of humor, resilience, and adaptive altruism
