Do you often find yourself running out of time? Is your to do list never-ending?!

In this episode, I'm here to help you take back your time! ADHDers and neurodivergent entrepreneurs / business owners like myself face a tonne of challenges in effectively managing our time - but you CAN change your relationship with time. Honestly, guv!

I introduce my super-powerful "TEA & TOAST" framework - covering important mindset shifts around time (TEA) as well as practical strategies to reclaim your time (TOAST). I walk you through:

TEA:

• Talk - noticing the language you use about time - is it helping or hindering?

• Empathy - why showing yourself kindness for how ADHD impacts your time perception is key to changing your relationship with time

• Action - figuring out the real action steps you can take (built around your brain, of course!)

TOAST

• Template - what do you often create or re-create?
• Outsource - what could someone else do?
• Automate - what could something else do?
• Standardise - what could become a repeatable process?
• Throw in the bin - what could you just stop doing!?

Throughout the episode, I share real-world examples from my own experiences as a business owner with ADHD. I offer tips like using external time cues, time-tracking tasks to plan better, and scheduling unstructured breaks. This is a must-listen for any neurodivergent entrepreneur struggling with time management and balancing the demands of work with the demands of life. You CAN take back your time!

What if the thing that’s “made you difficult” your whole life is actually the secret to building a business and a life you love?

In this episode, I talk with Steven Shillingford, an unapologetically honest creator and marketer, about growing up with dyslexia, undiagnosed ADHD, and lifelong people-pleasing, and how all of that led to toxic relationships, drinking to cope, bankruptcy, and ultimately, a more authentic life.

Steven shares how a health scare, a failed six-figure business, and years of “trying all the things” finally pushed him to show up on video as his true self, ignore the social media rulebook, and create in a way that actually works for his ADHD brain.

If you’ve ever overthought posting online, hidden behind perfectionism, or told yourself you’re “too much” or “not enough,” this episode is for you!

In this episode, we cover:

• Growing up with dyslexia, rejection, and people-pleasing
• ADHD, job-hopping, and finding the “right kind of difficult” work
• Building and losing a six-figure recycling business in the 2009 recession
• Using video content as a healing tool—not just a marketing tactic
• Letting go of perfectionism and posting imperfect, real content
• Redefining success beyond money: joy, energy, and everyday life

Are you super-spiritual, super-cynical, or somewhere in between!?

Are you In this episode, I’m joined by Nicola Paull, Spiritual Teacher and author of ‘Own Your Story’. Nicola shares some of her truly inspirational story, from the darkness of trauma into the light of discovering and developing her spiritual practice. Despite initially feeling cynical about spirituality, she talks about the near-death experience that motivated her to open her mind and turn her life around.

We discuss what spirituality means to us as individuals and, importantly, how it differs from religion. Nicola also talks about her transformation from someone who never saw themselves as a writer, to publishing her first book, plus some sneak peeks into her future book plans!

Nicola also cheekily flips the script on me, posing me an interesting question about my own spiritual journey, plus we cover what might really be driving our choices when it comes to what we watch on TV. (This one will surprise you!).

If you enjoy listening to this episode, please do leave the podcast a rating or review, and share the link with someone you know who might be curious about their own spirituality.
