Business Strategy for ADHDers
Hey there, I'm Sky! As an ADHDer I have always been passionate about business and doing things my way. It wasn't until later in my adult years that I finally had the balls to take the leap, ditch the people pleasing, give fear the middle finger and start my own business!
With four kids under five (one with ADHD and Autism) I quit my 9-5 government job, encouraged my husband to do the same and we went all in on creating my own psychology practice.
What started as an idea has now become a 7-figure business, allowing my husband and I to have more time with the kids, holidays, choosing our own hours and has set us up financially in investment property.
Now I want to help you too. Because here's the thing if my ADHD brain can do it, so can yours!
I am here to teach you step by step how to start and grow your business in a way that suits your ADHD brain. It's time to stop doing things the neurotypical way and start doing them your way.
This podcast is the perfect place for you to connect, learn, and see that your ADHD business dreams get to become a reality. So come and hang out and let me share my journey with you!

This week we're chatting about looking after our bodies without stressing out. We've all been there, feeling like we need to cut this and that. But what if we flipped the script? Instead of stressing, let's talk about easy things you can add to your day.
Maybe it's sipping water more often or doing a little stretch between tasks. No need for crazy diets or intense workouts. We want to keep it simple and doable.
Join me to learn how these small, easy changes can make a big difference.

When we start thinking about taking care of our body, we start to go into that restrict mode again. There is a lot less energy involved in adding small, achievable things in than it is to delete and restrict things out. I am so excited to be finally back talking to you all. Like, it has been a red hot minute. So if you are new to this space Welcome. My focus, instead of just being on broad mental health, I've really kind of niched down a little bit in terms of ADHD. And so what I want to do every week is answer your questions about ADHD. Most of us, not all of us, but most of us walk around. And at some point throughout our lives, like we're treating it with disrespect, whether it's Not moving our body, whether it's through the foods that we eat, whether it's through harming ourselves, whether it's through like me, like sitting too much during the day, like whatever it is, you know, our body gets a pretty bad rap. And here becomes the problem too, when we start thinking about taking care of our body, we start to go into that restrict mode again. Like, okay, well, I can't eat this and I can't drink alcohol and I can't smoke and I can't blah, blah, blah. And then we get so caught up in like the have tos. Well then I have to go to the gym and I have to go five days and it has to be like this. And Oh my God, before we know it, we're so exhausted on the lounge in front of Netflix with the Tim Tams and the fucking wine, right? Not helpful. But what I'm going to ask you today is instead of focusing on what you shouldn't. I actually just want you to think about really simple things that you can just start including in your day. Right? So maybe what you do if you're the person like me who avoids drinking water is you actually just start carrying a water bottle around with you and every hour you just have a sip of water. That's it. Like that's the task for the day. Or maybe for you, it's like you're that person who's always rushing so you're forgetting to have breakfast or you're eating a shit lunch or you're coming home and you're binge eating at night time. Instead of changing any of that, I want you to think about, like, what is one food group? That your body's just craving that would be really good for it. Like maybe you just like, Oh, it just needs an orange, right? Every day. Or maybe I just need bananas or I'm like, I just need to eat some more salad. You know, what is something that would have your body feel good that you could just start including? So we're not deleting anything. We're not focusing on getting rid of any shit at all. We're just focusing on what does my body need that I can start giving it so that it can have more energy. And maybe for you, it might be, you know what? I'm going to go and buy those protein bars. And every morning on the way to work, because I'm, I skip breakfast, I'm going to eat a protein bar, right? Or when I get to work and I make my cup of tea, I'm actually going to have a piece of fruit with it. Or tonight when I go home and I cook my chicken nuggets and chips because that's just fucking easy in the oven, I'm actually just going to have some cucumber and tomato on the side with it. Right? Like we just want to think about what you can include in your day. Or maybe for you, what you can do is, you know, if it's in between clients, if it's like me, you can actually just. You know, stop and give your body a bit of a stretch, like stand up tall and put your arms in the air or give your body a bit of a shake or, you know, whatever it might be, you know. Or maybe if you drive to work, you're gonna just park, you know, a block away and just, just really enjoy slowly the walk to work, you know, being mindful of, you know, the sun and the breeze on your face and, you know, that the the birds in the trees or whatever it is, right? Like, what are we going to include in our day that can support our body and our system moving forward? Because again, if we want the things that we want, our body is what is going to support us in getting those things. And we don't wanna go into restriction mode. We don't wanna waste energy, we just wanna focus on what is gonna have us feel good. Because here's the thing that I found, and I'd, I'd love to hear from you in the Facebook group, like once you actually start making beautiful choices, the, the really shitty habits, they tend to dissolve on their own, right? If you start to drink beautiful water throughout the day, and then of an evening, you're like, Oh, I really want that chamomile tea because it's going to help me feel calmer. And I'm going to like, want to go to bed, then you're going to be less likely over time, over time people, right? To maybe want the alcohol, right? Or the Tim Tams or whatever else it is that you kind of binge eat, right? So let us know, like jump in the Facebook group and tell me what are the things and pick three. I want three. What are the three things that you are going to choose to support your body in moving forward, right? If it's me like right now and I'm, and I'm thinking about it, I'm like, I'm gonna drink. I'm going to carry the bottle of water around and I'm going to sit water and I'm going to have more water. The second thing I'm going to do is every night when I jump into bed, I'm actually just going to do a few stretches just to move my body and have it relaxed before I go to sleep. And then the second thing I'm going to do is I'm going to eat more greens. With whatever it is I'm eating in the day, they're my three things. Like that's it done. There is a lot less energy involved in adding small achievable things in than it is to delete and restrict things out. So let me know how you go with this. I would love to hear from you.
