I just couldn’t wrap up the Self Care series without talking about neurodiversity, masking, and mental health, and the perfect person for conversation is fellow therapist, coach, podcaster, speaker and advocate, Pasha Marlowe.

In this vulnerable episode, you'll hear about the challenges and advantages of masking, understand the emotions of being neurodivergent in a world that is built by and for neurotypicals, and discover ways to foster radical self-acceptance, wherever you are.

We're unpacking a variety of insections - from growing up with unidentified ADHD and autism, attempting to hide emotional dysregulation and rejection sensitivity, a later-in-life recognition of queer identity, and the power of language in creating an inclusive society.

Mic Drop Moment:

"It takes a physical and emotional toll to mask, to hide, to conceal anything or suppress any of our tendencies or identities or truths. It also feels, I think quite misaligned and lonely, but both are painful. Like it's painful to be judged and rejected and unsafe, and it's terribly painful to not be respected or seen and known."

Did you build your business with your neurodivergent traits and tendencies in mind? If not, you aren’t alone.

Most of us have no idea how because our educational and workplace environments teach us conformity and masking, not radical self-acceptance and doing what actually works for us.

This might be the perfect time to partner with a business coach who is also a licensed therapist and entrepreneur with ADHD (me) to reinvent your business with YOU in mind.

I choose to work with a limited number of 1:1 clients at a time, so I can customize our coaching engagement to be exactly what you need, no more, no less.

It starts with a no-obligation free consultation to help you figure out why your business is not yet where you want it to be, and create a plan that takes mental wellness and energetic capacity into account.

In this episode of the Self Care Series, I’m excited to share my conversation with meditation teacher, Jude Star.

We are both entrepreneurs, psychotherapists, and adults with ADHD who practice meditation and mindfulness.

Many people with ADHD are confused or intimidated by meditation, have struggled to figure it out, or flat-out refuse to try, even though it can be incredibly helpful in managing our busy brains.

My hope is that this conversation will bust up some of the myths and misunderstandings, offer practical solutions, and show you how to make meditation and mindfulness fun.

Jude and I share and compare our personal journeys and the role that mindfulness and meditation play in each of our businesses and lives.

We discuss the critical role of experimentation in finding the meditation style that truly resonates with you and the power of adopting a playful “and that’s OK” approach which Jude reminds us fosters more consistent long-term motivation.

We debunk some common myths surrounding meditation, like the idea that you must adopt a particular posture, and practice dogmatically, and stress the importance of weaving mindfulness into routine activities, such as taking mindful walks.

We also tackle the misconceptions associated with meditation and ADHD, emphasizing the need for a joyful, light-hearted approach, and the remarkable brain chemistry changes that consistent meditation offers. I loved hearing Jude talk about introducing meditation to a client using what he calls the “Do Nothing” practice.

Did you take your ADHD strengths and struggles into account when you started your solopreneur business? If not, you're far from alone. Most of us started our business duplicating what we knew from working for others and chances are, it’s not working that well, especially if you work from home.

This might be the perfect time to partner with a business coach who is also a licensed therapist and ADHD entrepreneur (me) to reinvent your business with YOU in mind. We will right-size your business, create the systems and structure you need, and adjust any mindset issues holding you back.

If you are looking for a sustainable way to a healthier life with less emphasis on food, that is also good for your brain, this episode is for you.

I invited primal health and intermittent fasting coach, Marisa Moon to join me for this episode of the Self-Care Series and this interview is about so much more than wellness.

Marisa was one of my first guests on the podcast (check out episode # 36 - Intermittent Fasting for Energy & Mental Clarity).

She recently became the best selling author of “Not So Fast” based on her ten years of experience teaching people how to adopt the intermittent fasting lifestyle using her framework, The RESET Method and I knew she had to be part of our Self-Care Series.

The RESET method is more than just a fasting protocol—it's a roadmap to a healthy, sustainable lifestyle, which is particularly well suited to those of us juggling the demands of entrepreneurship and ADHD.

What you’re going to hear:

• Intermittent fasting strategies with the ADHD 🧠 in mind.
• Strategies for deep work and productivity without boredom or burn out.
• Marisa’s R.E.S.E.T approach to intermittent fasting you won’t want to quit 🤬
• How Marisa engineered her life to get her book written & published in 8 months
• Writing a book that is ADHD-friendly (strategies for content creators that are 🔥)
