Habits, Hyperfixations & Life with ADHD |Formerly Corporate to Calm. Now fully ADHD.
Welcome to ADHD IS… the podcast where we talk real life with ADHD.
Every week (maybe, probably, I don't know) I’m shooting the breeze about what it’s actually like to live, work and create with an ADHD brain.
We explore
- Symptoms, quirks & hyper fixations
- Habits that actually stick (for a while anyway)
- Business, productivity & burnout
- Sobriety, energy, and life hacks
- Navigating overwhelm while building your life
This is for neurodivergents, creatives, entrepreneurs and anyone whose brain works a little differently, ready to embrace it, not fight it.
New episodes drop weekly, relatable, honest and actionable.
- 77 - ADHD IS | You Are the Author of Your Own Story | ADHD, Life & Business Truths
In this episode, Linda explores the emotional, energetic and entrepreneurial realities of living with ADHD. From navigating takers and energy‑drainers to understanding why neurodivergent people are so often misunderstood, this episode is packed with truth, humour, and practical wisdom for ADHD women and creative entrepreneurs. Linda shares openly about motherhood, marriage, business ownership, and the invisible mental load women carry. She also breaks down why automation is essential (not rude), why joy can’t be bottled, and how to build a business that supports your brain instead of burning it out. 1. You curate your own life algorithm Linda reflects on how we unconsciously invite certain patterns and people into our lives. “We are in fact the authors of our own story but actually we are the curators of our own algorithm.” 2. ADHDers are used to being misinterpreted Neurodivergent people often communicate openly and literally which others misread. “We always have been misinterpreted.” 3. Protect your joy, not everyone can hold it Some people become alienated when you’re doing well. “Sometimes it’s better to keep it under your hat… celebrate with the right people.” 4. Boundaries + clarity = ADHD business survival ADHD entrepreneurs thrive when expectations are clear. “We need clarity. We need boundaries and we need clarity.” 5. The ADHD business paradox ADHDers struggle to live in the present in life but get stuck in the present in business. “We tend to see the now in our businesses… we’re not looking at the next steps.” 6. Automation is not impersonal, it’s essential Linda dismantles the myth that automation removes the personal touch. “If I have an auto reply… go f*** yourself because I am being personal in my own life.” 7. The invisible mental load Women carry a constant checklist in their heads and ADHD amplifies it. “Have you got that mental load of is X, Y, and Z in the fridge…?” 8. Joy is fleeting and that’s okay ADHD emotional cycles shift fast. “Maybe in half an hour I’m going to feel like s***… you cannot bottle that joy.” 9. Small steps create big shifts Linda introduces her Small Steps Accountability Circle gentle, sustainable progress for ADHD brains.

Thu, 07 May 2026 - 76 - ADHD IS | The Joy, the Burnout & the Hangover of ADHD
In the latest episode of the Irish ADHD Is Podcast Linda takes a raw, honest look at what ADHD really feels like behind the scenes. The passion, the burnout, the emotional crash and the complicated relationship we have with motivation. After a short break, Linda returns to share why ADHDers can love something deeply yet struggle to stay consistent, why joy feels fleeting and why pressure‑based ADHD motivation often steals the magic from the things we care about most. You’ll hear about The ADHD cycle of hyperfocus → burnout → avoidance Why routine works only when it’s flexible The heartbreak of forgetting what brings you joy The “ADHD hangover” after social or business highs How to work with your energy instead of fighting it The power of an ADHD Joy List The “Do or Delegate” rule for ADHD entrepreneurs If you’ve ever wondered why you can’t “just stay motivated,” why success feels anticlimactic or why you crash after big moments, this episode will make you feel seen, understood and a little less alone. We also look at ADHD burnout, ADHD routines, ADHD emotional regulation, ADHD business tips, neurodivergent entrepreneurs. ⬇️ LINKS & RESOURCES My ADHD Habit Tracker The ADHD Energy Habit Tracker Align your habits with your energy not the other way around!If you’re an ADHD entrepreneur tired of chaos and burnout, this is for you.

Sat, 21 Mar 2026 - 74 - ADHD IS... | Meditation and Why It Doesn’t Work for Everyone and That's OK!
ADHD IS... | Meditation and Why It Doesn’t Work for Everyone and That's OK! Welcome to The ADHD Is... Podcast with ADHD mentor Linda Monahan In this episode we’re talking about ADHD, meditation, habits and energy cycles and why the traditional advice around mindfulness and daily routines doesn’t always work for ADHD brains. Let’s be honest Not every ADHD person can sit still and meditate. And that’s okay. In this episode I share • Why meditation doesn’t work for everyone with ADHD • Why movement can be meditation for ADHD brains • Understanding ADHD energy cycles and menstruation cycles • Why habits should be flexible for neurodivergent entrepreneurs • How to reduce decision fatigue in ADHD business owners • The importance of tracking habits for ADHD success We also talk about something rarely discussed Circadian vs Cyclical energy rhythms and how people who menstruate often experience 28-day energy cycles rather than 24-hour productivity cycles. Understanding this can completely change how you • build habits • structure your business • manage energy • avoid burnout Instead of forcing rigid routines ADHD entrepreneurs thrive when they create flexible systems that work with their brain. If you struggle with - ADHD burnout - inconsistent habits - productivity guilt - entrepreneur overwhelm This episode will help you rethink how you approach your routines.

But when you meet someone you don’t have to mask with, everything shifts.

Tue, 06 Aug 2024 - 68 - Habits That Support ADHD in Business | Outreach, Ownership & Consistency
This episode may have been recorded earlier in the life of the podcast, but the habits inside it are ones I still come back to especially as someone running a business with ADHD. Here we explore simple, repeatable habits that support visibility, resilience and growth without burnout, particularly helpful if you struggle with consistency, overthinking or decision fatigue. In this episode, we cover 1️⃣ The “Pick Me” List a habit for visibilityA weekly habit of proactive outreach that removes pressure and overthinking.Instead of waiting to be discovered, you intentionally build connections by reaching out podcasts, collaborations, events or opportunities in a way that works with an ADHD brain. 2️⃣ Nurturing your own digital real estateYour newsletter and website are spaces you own no algorithms, no noise.We talk about why these platforms matter, how to maintain them in small, manageable chunks and how one hour a week can compound into long-term business stability. 3️⃣ Social media habits that don’t drain youRather than trying to do everything, this episode encourages choosing platforms that suit you.Repurposing content, keeping things simple, and trusting that repetition is not failure it’s consistency. This conversation sits at the intersection of habits, ADHD, business and energy focusing on systems that support you, not systems you have to force yourself into. 🎙️ ADHD IS… formerly Corporate to Calm If you’re building a business with ADHD and want calmer, more sustainable ways to show up this episode is still very relevant. ⬇️ LINKS & RESOURCES My ADHD Habit Tracker The ADHD Energy Habit Tracker Align your habits with your energy not the other way around!If you’re an ADHD entrepreneur tired of chaos and burnout, this is for you.

Fri, 31 May 2024 - 66 - ADHD, Time Management & Revenue Habits That Actually Work
This is an earlier episode of the podcast but the message is even more relevant now, especially if you’re building a business with ADHD. Because let’s be honest “Time management” advice doesn’t work for an ADHD brain. In this episode, we reframe productivity through simple, repeatable habits that reduce overwhelm and increase revenue without burnout. We cover 1️⃣ Revenue-First Thinking (ADHD-Friendly Focus) Instead of trying to do everything, ask “Is this actually making me money?” Identify your 3 key revenue-generating tasks• Focus on what moves the needle• Stop giving your best energy to low-impact admin Less scatter. More clarity. 2️⃣ Delegation Without Guilt Executive function is a resource not a personality trait. If someone can do it better, faster, or with less mental load:Delegate it. Free your brain for the work only you can do. 3️⃣ Invest in Your Brain & Your Business ADHD entrepreneurs thrive when we stay stimulated and adaptable. Stay aware of industry shifts• Embrace new tools• Be willing to pivot• Don’t cling to outdated systems out of fear Growth requires flexibility not perfection. 🔥 Your ADHD Business Challenge Today ✔ Identify 3 revenue-generating tasks ✔ Complete them before anything else ✔ Research one new trend in your industry ✔ Ask: “How can I adapt this simply?” This is about calm business, sustainable habits, and working with your ADHD brain not against it. 🎙️ ADHD IS… formerly Corporate to Calm🎧 Listen now on all platforms #ADHD #ADHDBusiness #ADHDentrepreneur #ExecutiveFunction #HabitsThatHelp #RevenueFirst #CalmBusiness #NeurodivergentEntrepreneur #ProductivityWithADHD #WomenInBusiness #SustainableSuccess #BusinessHabits ⬇️ LINKS & RESOURCES My ADHD Habit Tracker The ADHD Energy Habit Tracker Align your habits with your energy not the other way around!If you’re an ADHD entrepreneur tired of chaos and burnout, this is for you.

Sobriety & Self-Trust in Entrepreneurship | Rebuilding From the Inside Out This is an earlier episode of the Corporate to Calm Podcast and the message is even more powerful now. It can be so easy to lose yourself in • Corporate pressure• Toxic productivity• Masking• Performing instead of living• Chasing dopamine instead of peace In this conversation, I sit down with Amy Kiernan entrepreneur, founder, and sober trailblazer. We talk about what happens when you stop outsourcing your worth and start rebuilding self-trust. We explore ✨ Why sobriety can sharpen clarity for Entrepreneurial brains✨ The difference between ambition and toxic productivity✨ How corporate environments can erode self-trust✨ Surrender vs control (especially when your nervous system loves chaos)✨ Slowing down as a power move✨ Building businesses that align with your wellbeing Amy shares how embracing authenticity, not perfection helped her leave a high-profile corporate career and build a wellness-led business rooted in intention. And here’s the ADHD piece: So many high-achieving neurodivergent women overcompensate.We overwork.We overthink.We override our intuition. The Habit Path isn’t about doing more.It’s about regulating your nervous system, building sustainable habits and creating structure that supports your brain, not burns it out. Sobriety. Self-trust.

Fri, 10 May 2024 - 63 - Habits & Money | Why Budgeting Feels So Emotional with Santis O'Garro
Habits & Money | Why Budgeting Feels So Emotional This is an earlier episode of the Corporate to Calm Podcast but if you’re an ADHD entrepreneur trying to build calm, it’s more relevant than ever. Because money isn’t just numbers. For ADHD brains, it’s often • Avoidance• Impulse spending (hello dopamine)• Shame• “I’ll deal with it later”• All-or-nothing thinking In this powerful conversation, I sit down with financial wellness expert Santis O’Garro, founder of The Budget Mindset Club, to talk about the habits behind financial empowerment. And the truth? You can’t build a calm business without building calm around money.

Wed, 13 Mar 2024 - 62 - Emotional Regulation & Safe Spaces at Work with Niamh Hannon
Emotional Regulation & Safe Spaces at Work This is an earlier episode of the Corporate to Calm Podcast but the conversation feels even more important now. In so many instances work doesn’t just drain your time, it drains your nervous system. Masking.Overthinking.People-pleasing.Conflict sensitivity.Emotional dysregulation. In this episode we explore something we don’t talk about enough in business Love as a value.Emotional safety as strategy.Connection as leadership. I’m joined by Chartered Psychologist Niamh Hannan, who shares her work around emotional connection in the workplace and why people are entitled to a safe space at work. And here’s the ADHD layer When you have a busy brain, emotional safety isn’t a luxury.It’s a necessity. We talk about ✨ Creating psychologically safe workplaces✨ Conflict resolution through emotional connection✨ Rebuilding trust at work✨ Why meditation becomes non-negotiable for busy brains✨ Leading without losing yourself “If you have a busy brain, you need meditation.” That line hits differently when you understand ADHD. Meditation isn’t about perfection.It’s about regulation.It’s a habit that creates space between stimulus and reaction. And that space?That’s where calm leadership lives. The Habit Path isn’t just productivity.It’s nervous system safety.It’s emotional intelligence.It’s structure that protects your brain. If you’re an ADHD entrepreneur, leader or corporate survivor trying to build calm without shutting down your ambition, this one is for you. 🎙️ ADHD IS… (formerly Corporate to Calm)🎧 Listen now on all major platforms ⬇️ LINKS & RESOURCES My ADHD Habit Tracker The ADHD Energy Habit Tracker Align your habits with your energy not the other way around!If you’re an ADHD entrepreneur tired of chaos and burnout, this is for you.

Wed, 14 Feb 2024 - 61 - ADHD & Alcohol | When “Fun” Is Actually Dysregulation with Olivia Farrelly
ADHD & Alcohol | When “Fun” Is Actually Dysregulation This is an earlier episode of The Corporate to Calm Podcast and if you’re ADHD, sensitive or building a calm life, this conversation hits differently now. Because for many neurodivergent women, alcohol isn’t just social. It’s • Nervous system relief• Masking support• Dopamine on demand• A way to quiet the noise• A way to belong And then… the crash. The shame.The overstimulation.The emotional hangover that lasts longer than the physical one. In this episode, I sit down with Alcohol-Free Mentor Olivia Farrelly to talk about untangling from alcohol culture and what happens when you choose clarity instead. Olivia shares the moment everything shifted: “I couldn’t exist with hungover me anymore. I couldn’t bear being so mean to me.” That line lands hard when you understand ADHD self-criticism. We explore ✨ Why alcohol and highly sensitive / ADHD brains don’t mix✨ The link between dopamine, impulsivity & drinking✨ Using your words to rewrite your story✨ Removing alcohol as a habit shift, not a punishment✨ The growth that happens when you regulate instead of numb✨ Choosing peace over performance Here’s the Habit Path truth Sobriety isn’t restriction.It’s nervous system regulation.It’s self-trust.It’s clarity. For ADHD entrepreneurs especially, removing alcohol can mean Better executive function.Better emotional regulation.Better boundaries.Better mornings. I’m almost four years into my sober journey and I echo this “Giving up alcohol is one of the greatest achievements of my life.” If you’re sober curious, grey area drinking or just questioning your habits, this conversation will meet you gently. 🎙️ ADHD IS… (formerly Corporate to Calm)🎧 Listen now on all major platforms ⬇️ LINKS & RESOURCES My ADHD Habit Tracker The ADHD Energy Habit Tracker Align your habits with your energy not the other way around!If you’re an ADHD entrepreneur tired of chaos and burnout, this is for you.

Wed, 13 Dec 2023 - 60 - Creative & ADHD Entrepreneurs | Make Your Own Rules with Alice Nettleingham
Creative & ADHD Entrepreneurs | Make Your Own Rules This is an earlier episode of the Corporate to Calm podcast AND the message feels even stronger now. Because if you have ADHD and you’re running a business, trying to follow traditional rules will burn you out. In this conversation, I sit down with hypnotherapist for entrepreneurs Alice Nettleingham to talk about life design, freedom and building a business that actually fits your brain. “If you’re gonna run your own business, make your own rules.” And that hits differently when you’re neurodivergent. We explore ✨ Designing a business around your energy (not expectations)✨ Cutting complexity to reduce overwhelm✨ The discipline behind freedom✨ Letting go of “how it should look”✨ Simplifying to scale✨ Living and working intentionally Here’s the actual and ADHD truth Complexity creates paralysis.Overcomplication kills consistency.Freedom without structure becomes chaos. The Habit Path isn’t about rigid routines.It’s about simple systems that protect your creativity. Structure protects your nervous system.Structure protects your ideas.Structure protects your income. Alice’s journey from digital nomad to intentional entrepreneur is proof that you can design both life and business on purpose. If you’re an ADHD or Creative entrepreneur craving more freedom but stuck in overwhelm, this episode will remind you You don’t need more hustle.You need cleaner habits and better systems. 🎙️ ADHD IS… (formerly Corporate to Calm)🎧 Listen now on all major platforms #ADHDentrepreneur#WomenWithADHD#NeurodivergentBusiness#LifeDesign#HabitsThatHelp#ExecutiveFunction#CalmBusiness#CreativeEntrepreneur#ADHDAwareness#NervousSystemRegulation#IntentionalLiving#SimplifyToScale#BusinessWithADHD ⬇️ LINKS & RESOURCES My ADHD Habit Tracker The ADHD Energy Habit Tracker Align your habits with your energy not the other way around!If you’re an ADHD entrepreneur tired of chaos and burnout, this is for you.

Wed, 06 Dec 2023 - 59 - Reliance, Reinvention & The Power of “Forward” with Fiona Alston
ADHD, Reinvention & The Power of “Forward” This is an earlier episode of the Corporate to Calm podcast but if you’re an ADHD entrepreneur or creative who’s reinvented yourself more than once, this will resonate deeply. Because ADHD brains don’t follow linear paths. We pivot.We hyperfocus.We outgrow.We crave novelty.We move countries.We change industries. In this episode, I sit down with journalist Fiona Alston, whose journey took her from horse racing to the tech sector and eventually to building a new life in Tallinn, Estonia. Her mantra? “Forward!"And “Don’t drag things with you.” That’s powerful for ADHD women. Because one of our biggest challenges isn’t starting.It’s carrying shame, past decisions, and “shoulds” that weigh us down. We explore ✨ Reinvention without apology✨ Making bold life pivots✨ Navigating uncertainty with resilience✨ Living nomadically and embracing change✨ Choosing alignment over expectation Here’s the Habit Path lens Reinvention isn’t chaos.It’s redirection. But without structure, ADHD pivots can become reactive instead of intentional. The goal isn’t to stop changing.It’s to build habits and systems that anchor you while you evolve. You can move forward.Without dragging burnout.Without dragging guilt.Without dragging versions of you that no longer fit. If you’re in a season of change career shift, relocation, identity evolution this conversation will remind you that forward is enough. 🎙️ ADHD IS… (formerly Corporate to Calm)🎧 Listen now on all major platforms #ADHDentrepreneur#WomenWithADHD#NeurodivergentWomen#Reinvention#LifePivot#HabitsThatHelp#ExecutiveFunction#CalmBusiness#IntentionalLiving#NervousSystemRegulation#CreativeEntrepreneur#ADHDAwareness#ForwardNotPerfect ⬇️ LINKS & RESOURCES My ADHD Habit Tracker The ADHD Energy Habit Tracker Align your habits with your energy not the other way around!If you’re an ADHD entrepreneur tired of chaos and burnout, this is for you.

Wed, 29 Nov 2023 - 58 - ADHD & Creativity | Building a Business That Actually Fits with Helena Croash
ADHD, Creativity & Building a Business That Actually Fits This is an earlier episode of the Corporate to Calm podcast and if you're a multi-passionate entrepreneur, this on will hit home. Because some of us aren’t meant to do one thing. We’re teachers.Creators.Strategists.Supporters.Community builders. In this episode, I sit down with the incredible Helena Croash, businesswoman, educator, jewellery creator, social media strategist and champion of women in business. And here’s what stands out through the ADHD lens Multi-passion isn’t confusion.It’s capacity. The key? Structure. We talk about ✨ Supporting other women in business (your circle matters)✨ Integrity, honesty & community✨ Adapting quickly to social media evolution✨ Turning creativity into income✨ Teaching what you know✨ Building business around your strengths “As an entrepreneur, I copped social media really quickly.” That ability to spot patterns, adapt fast, and move with energy?Very ADHD-coded. But without systems, that same brain can burn out. The Habit Path is about harnessing creativity without drowning in it. It’s about Simple systems.Repeatable habits.Clear structure. So your ideas don’t stay ideas. If you’re multi-passionate, easily bored, creatively wired, and trying to build a sustainable business, this conversation is a reminder You don’t need to shrink your gifts.You need structure that protects them. 🎙️ ADHD IS… (formerly Corporate to Calm)🎧 Listen now on all major platforms #ADHDentrepreneur#MultiPassionate#WomenWithADHD#CreativeBusiness#NeurodivergentWomen#HabitsThatHelp#ExecutiveFunction#CalmBusiness#WomenInBusiness#SocialMediaStrategy#CreativeEntrepreneur#ADHDAwareness#CommunityOverCompetition ⬇️ LINKS & RESOURCES My ADHD Habit Tracker The ADHD Energy Habit Tracker Align your habits with your energy not the other way around!If you’re an ADHD entrepreneur tired of chaos and burnout, this is for you.

Thu, 23 Nov 2023 - 57 - ADHD | Data & Respecting Your Time with Ellen Gunning
ADHD, Data & Respecting Your Time This is an earlier episode (back when the podcast was Corporate to Calm) but the message feels even more powerful now for ADHD entrepreneurs. Because if you have ADHD, time can feel slippery. Money can feel emotional.Focus can feel inconsistent.And information overload? Constant. In this episode, I sit down with Ellen Gunning, PR Consultant, Data Prophet, Author, Broadcaster, Serial Entrepreneur and founder of both the Irish Academy of Public Relations and Mettacomms. With over 30 years in business, Ellen shares a principle that stopped me in my tracks “I’ve great respect for my own time and money.” That’s a Habit Path cornerstone. Because for ADHD brains, respecting your time isn’t natural, it’s a system. We explore ✨ Building longevity in business✨ Extracting the right data (not drowning in it)✨ Crisis communications & clear messaging✨ The intersection of tech, media & people✨ Thought leadership that’s strategic not reactive✨ Why protecting your time protects your energy Here’s the ADHD angle Our brains are brilliant at spotting patterns.At connecting dots.At thinking strategically. But without structure, we Overconsume.Overcommit.Overextend. The Habit Path isn’t about doing more.It’s about filtering better. Clarity is a habit.Boundaries are a habit.Financial self-respect is a habit. Ellen embodies what happens when you combine intellect with discipline.

Tue, 14 Nov 2023 - 56 - ADHD & Alcohol | When “Sober Curious” Becomes Self-Respect with Lynda Emmett
ADHD & Alcohol - When “Sober Curious” Becomes Self-Respect This is an earlier episode (from my Sobriety Stories series when the podcast was Corporate to Calm) but the conversation feels even more relevant now. Because for ADHD brains, alcohol can become • A dopamine shortcut• A social mask• A nervous system “off switch”• A reward after overstimulation Until it isn’t. Until it creates more dysregulation than relief. In this episode, I’m joined by Lynda Emmett, who chose to question her relationship with alcohol and has now been alcohol-free for over four years. Sobriety isn’t about restriction.It’s about regulation. It’s about building habits that protect your peace instead of sabotaging it. Through the Habit Path lens, removing alcohol can mean ✨ Better executive function✨ More emotional stability✨ Clearer mornings✨ Reduced shame cycles✨ Stronger self-trust This conversation is honest, open and free of judgement. If you’re sober curious, grey-area drinking or simply exploring your habits this is your invitation to reflect without pressure. You don’t have to hit rock bottom to choose better for your brain.

Mon, 11 Sep 2023 - 55 - ADHD | Sleep & The Habit That Changes Everything with Síne Dunne
ADHD, Sleep & The Habit That Changes Everything This is an earlier episode from Corporate to Calm podcast but the conversation is more relevant than ever. Because if you have ADHD, sleep isn’t optional.It’s foundational. In this episode, I sit down with Síne Dunne, founder of Siest Sleep, to talk about the one habit that underpins all others Rest Síne's journey began with her own sleep struggles while working at Google. Síne was surviving on five hours a night and feeling the ripple effects of stress, anxiety and exhaustion. Instead of pushing through or masking burnout, she built a solution. Why This Matters for ADHD For neurodivergent brains, poor sleep amplifies • Emotional dysregulation• Impulse control issues• Executive dysfunction• Rejection sensitivity• Anxiety spirals• Dopamine crashes Sleep is not laziness.It’s regulation. Through the Habits Path lens, sleep is a keystone habit. When it improves, everything improves ✨ Focus✨ Patience✨ Productivity✨ Hormonal balance✨ Nervous system stability The Product Síne created the weighted Siest Sleeper ethically made in Dublin and designed to calm the nervous system through deep pressure stimulation. For ADHD brains that struggle to “switch off,” this kind of sensory support can be powerful. No complicated system.Just regulation through comfort. The Bigger Mission Síne is now studying Sleep Medicine & Insomnia at the University of Oxford, deepening her understanding of the science behind rest. Her number one sleep tip? Know when to ask for help. Because sleep struggles are not a personal failure. They’re often a stress signal. If you’re building habits without fixing your sleep, you’re building on sand. This episode is a reminderYou cannot optimise a dysregulated nervous system. 🎙️ Listen now to learn how to make sleep your most powerful habit. #ADHDWomen#ADHDAwareness#SleepHealth#NervousSystemRegulation#ExecutiveFunction#HabitsThatMatter#WeightedBlanket#NeurodivergentWomen#EmotionalRegulation#ADHDLife#BurnoutRecovery#SleepForSuccess ⬇️ LINKS & RESOURCES My ADHD Habit Tracker The ADHD Energy Habit Tracker Align your habits with your energy not the other way around!If you’re an ADHD entrepreneur tired of chaos and burnout, this is for you.

Wed, 02 Aug 2023 - 54 - ADHD | Values & The Habit of Courage with Sue McLoughlin
ADHD | Values & The Habit of Courage This is an earlier episode from Corporate to Calm but the message is even more relevant now through the ADHD lens. Because when you’re neurodivergent, values misalignment doesn’t just feel uncomfortable… It feels dysregulating. In this episode, I speak with Sue McLoughlin, founder of Strive to Thrive, about change leadership, transformation and what happens when your corporate role no longer matches your core values. Many ADHD women stay too long in environments that • Drain their nervous system• Clash with their ethics• Ignore unconscious bias• Reward masking over authenticity Sue talks about bridging the gap between business needs and technical change but what struck me most was her decision to walk away from a significant values gap. That’s not impulsivity. That’s alignment. And alignment is a habit. When your habits don’t align with your values, you experience⚡ Burnout⚡ Frustration⚡ Emotional dysregulation⚡ Executive fatigue When they do align, you build✨ Confidence✨ Sustainable leadership✨ People-centric growth✨ Nervous system safety Sue’s people-first approach to Change & Transformation empowers organisations to evolve without losing the humans inside them. And for ADHD professionals navigating change? That matters. Sue has generously shared a powerful values tool to accompany the episode:https://www.strivetothrive.ie/_files/ugd/d0d869_02cac54061a14956860d09493d7521b9.pdf If you’re questioning your role, your direction, or your next move start with values.

Wed, 26 Jul 2023 - 53 - ADHD | Entrepreneurship & The Habit of Starting Before You’re Ready with Amy Herbert
ADHD | Entrepreneurship & The Habit of Starting Before You’re Ready This is an earlier episode from Corporate to Calm and Amy’s story feels even more relevant now. Because for so many ADHD women, entrepreneurship doesn’t start with a five-year plan. It starts at the kitchen table. In this episode, I speak with Amy Herbert, founder of The Little Wax Company, about how a hobby making wax melts with her daughter turned into a thriving air-care business. ADHD women often• Hyperfocus on creative projects• Pivot careers more than once• Build businesses from passion, not spreadsheets• Need autonomy to thrive Amy stepped away from corporate sales to raise her children and during that season, creativity became the spark. What began as wax melts at the kitchen table evolved into a brand built with consistency, courage and habit stacking. Success wasn’t accidental. It was built through✨ Discipline (even when motivation fluctuates)✨ Time boundaries (essential for ADHD brains)✨ Late-night order packing with true crime podcasts as self-regulation✨ Support from the right ecosystem Amy credits the Fingal Local Enterprise Office for helping her bridge the gap between idea and execution a reminder that ADHD entrepreneurs don’t need to do everything alone. Support is a strategy. Networking is a habit. And structure creates freedom. Why This Matters for ADHD Entrepreneurs When you create systems around your creativity, you⚡ Reduce overwhelm⚡ Protect your energy⚡ Turn hyperfocus into income⚡ Build sustainable momentum Amy’s journey proves that starting small is still starting. Connect with Amy Herbert Website: https://thelittlewaxcompany.ie LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/amyherbert1 Entrepreneurship for ADHD women isn’t about rigid structure. It’s about building habits that support your nervous system while scaling your ideas.

Wed, 19 Jul 2023 - 52 - ADHD | Leadership & The Habit of Intentionality with Katy Lumsden
ADHD, Leadership & The Habit of Intentionality This is an earlier episode from Corporate to Calm and this conversation feels even more relevant now. Because leadership with ADHD doesn’t start with authority. It starts with self-awareness. In this episode, I’m joined by Katy Lumsden, founder of Know No Bounds Leadership, also known as The Noisy Introvert. Katy works in Human Resources, Organisational Development and Behavioural Leadership. She brings a powerful perspective on intentional leadership and values-led decision making. For ADHD and AuDHD leaders, challenges can include • Emotional intensity• All-or-nothing thinking• Burnout from overcommitting• Sensitivity to criticism• Masking in corporate environments Katy’s story includes navigating postnatal depression and leaning into her faith and coaching. This is a reminder that resilience is not about pushing harder. It’s about building habits that anchor you. Leadership isn’t a title. It’s repeated behaviour. Through the Habits Path lens, Katy highlights ✨ Intentional daily actions✨ Values as a decision-making compass✨ Self-reflection as regulation✨ Consistency over performative productivity For ADHD professionals, values alignment reduces decision fatigue and protects the nervous system. When your habits match your values, leadership feels sustainable not exhausting. Why This Matters If you are leading a team while managing ADHD, you don’t need to be louder. You need to be aligned. Katy’s vulnerability, particularly around motherhood and mental health, shows that powerful leadership is built on authenticity, not perfection.

Wed, 12 Jul 2023 - 51 - ADHD | Money & The Habit of Intentional Spending with Emily Burnett
ADHD | Money & The Habit of Intentional Spending This is an earlier episode from Corporate to Calm and the conversation is incrediblyMy ADHD Habit Tracker Align your habits with your energy not the other way around!If you’r relevant for ADHD women today. Because when you have ADHD, money isn’t just maths. It’s dopamine.It’s avoidance.It’s impulsivity.It’s shame cycles.It’s emotional regulation. In this episode, I speak with Emily Burnett, founder of Moso Money, about overcoming $50,000 of debt in her 20s and rebuilding her relationship with money through intentional habits. ADHD can show up financially as • Impulse spending for dopamine• Avoiding bank statements• “All or nothing” budgeting• Late fees & forgotten payments• Emotional spending after hard days Emily’s journey highlights something powerful Financial freedom isn’t about restriction.It’s about behaviour change. And behaviour change = habits. Through the Habits Path lens, money becomes a system, not a mood. Emily speaks about✨ Intentional spending✨ Conscious decision-making✨ The power of mentorship✨ Small consistent financial habits For ADHD brains, external accountability (like a money mentor) reduces overwhelm and creates structure where executive function struggles. Money clarity creates nervous system calm. And nervous system calm improves every other habit. You cannot build a calm business on chaotic finances. You cannot scale while avoiding numbers. Financial regulation supports emotional regulation. This episode is a reminderShame doesn’t fix money.Systems do.

Wed, 05 Jul 2023 - 48 - ADHD | Self-Limiting Beliefs & The Habits That Rewire Them
ADHD | Self-Limiting Beliefs & The Habits That Rewire Them This is an earlier episode of Corporate to Calm and the conversation around self-limiting beliefs is even more important now, especially for ADHD women in business. Because when you have ADHD, self-limiting beliefs aren’t just mindset. They’re often built from years of • “You’re too much.”• “You’re not consistent.”• “You have so much potential if only you’d apply yourself.”• Masking to fit into corporate spaces. Over time, those messages become internal narratives. And those narratives shape behaviour. Why Self-Limiting Beliefs Exist (ADHD Lens) Self-limiting beliefs form from • Repeated negative feedback• Social conditioning• Rejection sensitivity• Cognitive bias• Nervous system dysregulation For ADHD brains, emotional intensity + memory of failure can make those beliefs feel like facts. But they are learned patterns. And what is learned can be rewired. Confidence is not built through affirmations alone. It is built through evidence. This episode focuses on ✨ Why self-limiting beliefs form✨ How they become behavioural habits✨ Daily habits that challenge the narrative✨ Empowerment tools that create new proof When you consistently take small aligned actions, you create cognitive dissonance with the old belief. Old belief - “I’m not disciplined.”New habit - Showing up consistently (even imperfectly). Beliefs change when behaviour changes. Why This Matters in Business If you are an ADHD entrepreneur trying to calm and systemise your business, your biggest blocker may not be strategy. It may be the belief that: • You can’t be consistent• You’re bad with money• You’re not leadership material• You always burn out The Habits Path isn’t about pushing harder. It’s about creating repeatable systems that build self-trust. Self-trust dissolves self-limiting beliefs. If you’re ready to calm and systemise your business in a way that works with your ADHD brain, not against it I can help. #ADHDWomen#SelfLimitingBeliefs#NeurodivergentEntrepreneur#HabitsPath#ExecutiveFunction#ADHDAwareness#WomenInBusiness#MindsetAndHabits#EmotionalRegulation#RejectionSensitivity#BusinessWithADHD#CorporateToCalm#ConfidenceBuilding#PersonalGrowthJourney#SystemiseYourBusiness ⬇️ LINKS & RESOURCES My ADHD Habit Tracker The ADHD Energy Habit Tracker Align your habits with your energy not the other way around!If you’re an ADHD entrepreneur tired of chaos and burnout, this is for you.

Tue, 03 Mar 2026 - 47 - ADHD | 5 Lessons That Transformed My Business
ADHD | 5 Lessons That Transformed My Business This is an older episode of Corporate to Calm, but these five lessons are even more powerful now especially if you’re building a business with ADHD. Because growth with ADHD isn’t about doing more. It’s about building better habits. Over the past 12 months, these five lessons have fundamentally improved my mindset, structure, and business calm and they might help yours too. 1️⃣ Facing Rejection With ADHD often comes rejection sensitivity. Rejection can feel catastrophic not neutral. But here’s the shift, Rejection is data. When you systemise outreach, pitching, visibility or sales, rejection stops being personal and starts being part of the process. Habit > Emotion. 2️⃣ Embracing Opportunity ADHD brains love opportunity… sometimes too much. Shiny object syndrome can derail progress. Is this aligned with my values?Does it support my systems?Will it stretch me without dysregulating me? Opportunity should be intentional not impulsive. 3️⃣ Supporting Others Community regulates the nervous system. Supporting others builds reciprocity, strengthens networks and reduces isolation something many ADHD entrepreneurs quietly experience. Your network is emotional infrastructure. 4️⃣ Planning Your Week For ADHD, “I’ll see how I feel” is not a strategy. Weekly planning is a regulation tool. When you• Decide in advance• Batch decisions• Protect focus time• Build buffer space You reduce decision fatigue and overwhelm. Planning creates calm. 5️⃣ Facing Your Fears Fear isn’t a stop sign. It’s often a growth indicator. The habit isn’t “be fearless.”The habit is “move with the fear.” Confidence is built through repeated exposure to discomfort not waiting until you feel ready. If you are an ADHD woman in business trying to calm and systemise growth, these five habits build: ✔ Emotional resilience✔ Structured visibility✔ Sustainable momentum✔ Self-trust Business calm doesn’t come from motivation. It comes from repeatable behaviours. If you’re ready to build systems that work with your ADHD brain instead of fighting it I can help.

Tue, 03 Mar 2026 - 46 - ADHD | Visibility & The Habit of Showing Up with Louise Brogan
ADHD | Visibility & The Habit of Showing Up This is an earlier episode of Corporate to Calm and if you are an ADHD entrepreneur trying to grow on LinkedIn, it is more relevant than ever. Because building visibility with ADHD isn’t about motivation. It’s about systems. In this episode, I’m joined by Louise Brogan, founder of LinkedIn with Louise. Louise’s journey took her from the Health Service in Northern Ireland to running a craft shop… to building a thriving LinkedIn business when the corporate career she once loved no longer loved her back. Sound familiar? For ADHD founders, LinkedIn can feel like • Inconsistent posting• Overthinking content• Niche hopping• Comparison spirals• Networking avoidance Louise’s story reinforces something powerful Your Network is your Net Worth but only if you build it intentionally. Success on LinkedIn isn’t about hacks. It’s about repeatable habits. Louise shares key lessons around ✨ The importance of choosing a clear niche✨ The value of having a coach (external accountability matters for ADHD brains)✨ Building and nurturing your network✨ Giving before asking For ADHD entrepreneurs, structured visibility reduces overwhelm. When you systemise content, outreach, and engagement, you remove the emotional rollercoaster from growth. Calm business growth > chaotic bursts of effort. If you are navigating career change, redundancy, or the “corporate no longer fits” feeling, this episode will resonate. You don’t need more ideas. You need aligned habits and visible consistency. And that is what builds sustainable momentum.

Tue, 14 Feb 2023 - 45 - ADHD | Entrepreneurs Your Habits Shape Your Happiness (More Than You Think) with Diala Hanna
ADHD | Entrepreneurs Your Habits Shape Your Happiness (More Than You Think) This is an older episode of Corporate to Calm, but the message is incredibly relevant for ADHD business owners navigating mindset, energy and intentional growth. In this episode, I speak with Diala Hanna, founder of My Power of Happiness. Diala’s journey began with one uncomfortable moment a friend asking why she was always complaining. That conversation became a catalyst. Since then, she has• Done the deep mindset work• Written a book with her son• Built a powerful social media presence with her mother• Created a platform helping others find their “Power of Happiness” From Lebanon and now based in Dubai, Diala’s message is simple but powerful Happiness is intentional. For ADHD founders, mindset isn’t fluff. It’s regulation. We can default to• Negative self-talk• Catastrophic thinking• Time blindness• Reactive decision-making• Emotional overwhelm But habits shift identity. And identity shifts business. This episode reinforces three core pillars that matter deeply for ADHD entrepreneurs 1️⃣ Mindset ShiftYour thoughts create behavioural patterns.Your behavioural patterns create business results. 2️⃣ Intention With Your TimeIf you don’t decide where your time goes, distraction will.Time boundaries = nervous system safety. 3️⃣ Living the Life You Actually WantNot the one that looks successful.Not the one that wins approval.The one aligned with your values and capacity. Happiness isn’t accidental.It’s built through small, repeatable habits. Why This Matters for ADHD Business Owners You cannot systemise your business if your internal dialogue is chaotic. You cannot scale sustainably if you are emotionally dysregulated. Intentional habits create✔ Emotional regulation✔ Clarity✔ Consistency✔ Sustainable growth This episode is a reminder that mindset work is business strategy. #ADHDEntrepreneur#ADHDWomenInBusiness#HabitsForSuccess#MindsetShift#IntentionalLiving#TimeManagementForADHD#NeurodivergentBusiness#EmotionalRegulation#SustainableGrowth#WomenInBusiness#CorporateToCalm#BusinessHabits#ExecutiveFunction#PersonalGrowthPodcast#ADHDAwareness ⬇️ LINKS & RESOURCES My ADHD Habit Tracker The ADHD Energy Habit Tracker Align your habits with your energy not the other way around!If you’re an ADHD entrepreneur tired of chaos and burnout, this is for you.

Sun, 22 Jan 2023 - 44 - ADHD | Entrepreneurs Why Simplicity, Niche & Asking for Help Are Business Superpowers with Stephen Murtagh
ADHD | Entrepreneurs Why Simplicity, Niche & Asking for Help Are Business Superpowers This is an older episode of Corporate to Calm, but the lessons are incredibly relevant for ADHD business owners building sustainable growth. In this episode, I speak with Stephen Murtagh known as The Exhibition Guy a globally recognised, award-winning exhibition strategist and sales trainer. Stephen has devoted his career to helping businesses maximise their exhibition strategy and sales process. But what makes this conversation powerful for ADHD entrepreneurs isn’t just sales expertise. It’s the habits behind the success. If you’re an ADHD entrepreneur, you might recognise • Overcomplicating offers• Avoiding asking for help• Trying to serve everyone• Burning out from doing everything alone• Shiny object syndrome in marketing Stephen’s message is clear “It’s not that I didn’t have support, it’s that I didn’t ask for it.” And for ADHD founders, that hits hard. Independence can become isolation. Lessons for Entrepreneurs 1️⃣ The Importance of Niching Your Product or ServiceClarity reduces cognitive overload.When you niche, decision-making becomes easier.Messaging becomes simpler.Sales become cleaner. A defined niche is an executive function support tool. 2️⃣ The Importance of Asking for HelpADHD brains thrive with accountability and external structure. Coaches. Mentors. Peers.Support isn’t weakness, it’s strategy. 3️⃣ Keeping Business Uncomplicated “The more you complicate things, the more complicated they become.” Over-engineering systems creates overwhelm.Overwhelm leads to avoidance.Avoidance leads to inconsistency. Simplicity builds momentum. 4️⃣ Continual Training to Future-Proof Your Business Growth isn’t accidental. Stephen moved from Yellow Pages sales to stationery to concept selling to becoming globally recognised in exhibitions. He faced business closure in the late noughties.He faced the people he owed money.He rebuilt. That’s resilience.That’s habit-based growth. Why This Matters for ADHD Founders Exhibiting, marketing, selling these are high-investment activities. As Stephen says “Exhibiting is the most expensive way to market your business, if you do it wrong.” ADHD entrepreneurs don’t need more tactics. They need✔ Clear niche✔ Simple systems✔ Support structures✔ Consistent skill development Business calm comes from structure, not hustle. If you’re navigating career change, building a business, or trying to systemise your ADHD brain in business this conversation is packed with practical wisdom.

Sun, 11 Dec 2022 - 43 - ADHD | Entrepreneurs Imposter Syndrome, Self-Worth & The Habit of Taking Up Space with Amanda Grace
ADHD | Entrepreneurs Imposter Syndrome, Self-Worth & The Habit of Taking Up Space This is an older episode of Corporate to Calm, but if you’re an ADHD entrepreneur navigating imposter syndrome, self-doubt or a late career pivot — this conversation will land deeply. In this episode, I speak with Amanda Grace about identity, fear, sobriety, and what it really means to reclaim your life. “Women are conditioned to take up as little space as possible.” For ADHD women in business, that conditioning runs deep. Masking.People-pleasing.Over-delivering.Undercharging.Playing small to stay safe. Amanda’s journey from running her father’s bar in Killaloe to becoming a qualified psychotherapist after completing a four-year degree is a powerful example of what happens when you build new habits around self-worth. ADHD can amplify • Imposter syndrome• Rejection sensitivity• Fear of visibility• Paralysis through overthinking• Living “outside in” instead of internally aligned Amanda shares how she didn’t truly meet herself until 34 because she was living as an observer rather than a participant in her own life. That resonates with so many neurodivergent women. Key Lessons for ADHD Business Owners 1️⃣ Imposter Syndrome Can Be ParalysingBut paralysis is a pattern not a personality flaw.Small consistent visibility habits break the cycle. 2️⃣ It’s Never Too Late to Reclaim Your LifeCareer change with ADHD isn’t failure.It’s alignment. 3️⃣ Worthiness Is an Identity “Worthy is an identity, it is the importance of being true to you.” Confidence isn’t a feeling.It’s reinforced through behaviour. 4️⃣ Sobriety & Nervous System RegulationAmanda shares how sobriety saved her €40k in five years but more importantly, it supported clarity, healing and self-trust. For ADHD entrepreneurs, nervous system regulation is business strategy. 5️⃣ Fear Shrinks When You Keep Showing UpNot perfectly.Not loudly.But consistently. Habits build identity.Identity builds confidence.Confidence builds business. Why This Matters for Entrepreneurs You cannot systemise your business if you don’t believe you’re worthy of success. You cannot grow sustainably if you’re operating from shame. Amanda’s story is proof that ✔ It’s never too late to pivot✔ Self-worth is built, not found✔ Grief and healing can fuel growth✔ Taking up space is a practice The latest episode of Corporate to Calm is live across all platforms. If you’re navigating career change, building a business with ADHD, or learning to show up unapologetically, this episode is for you.

Sun, 27 Nov 2022 - 42 - ADHD | Entrepreneurs When Closing a Business Is the Smartest Move You’ll Ever Make withAntoinette Young
ADHD | Entrepreneurs When Closing a Business Is the Smartest Move You’ll Ever Make This is an older episode of Corporate to Calm, but if you’re an ADHD entrepreneur navigating burnout, career pivots or questioning your passion this conversation is powerful. In this episode, I speak with Antoinette Young about closing a business she ran for nearly 20 years and moving into corporate where she found her version of calm. “Imagine at 8 or 9 telling my aunt, someday I’ll have my own business.” Antoinette did exactly that. She built a business she loved.She was fearless.She was driven. And when the late noughties recession hit, she made the courageous decision to close it. For ADHD founders, identity can become fused with the business. We often believe• If I quit, I’ve failed.• If I pivot, I’ve wasted time.• If my passion fades, I’m inconsistent. But sometimes the most regulated decision is to let go. Antoinette transitioned into corporate and now works within British Airways, where her creativity, resilience and ability to manage change have allowed her to thrive. Key Lessons for Business Owners 1️⃣ Listen to Your GutADHD intuition is powerful when regulated.Your body often knows before your brain rationalises. 2️⃣ Put Yourself Ahead of OthersPeople-pleasing leads to burnout.Self-prioritisation builds sustainability. 3️⃣ Hard Work Pays Off But Alignment Matters MoreGrinding through lost passion isn’t resilience.It’s self-abandonment. “When the passion goes it’s time to be true to yourself.” 4️⃣ Your Calm May Be in CorporateEntrepreneurship isn’t the only path to freedom.For some ADHD women, structure, innovation and change inside corporate environments provide nervous system safety. Why This Matters for ADHD Entrepreneurs ADHD business growth requires ✔ Identity flexibility✔ Emotional regulation✔ Habit-based decision making✔ Courage to pivot✔ Letting go of ego Antoinette’s experience during Covid showed how powerful adaptability can be. Her history of entrepreneurship allowed her to lead through uncertainty with strength and calm. Sometimes growth isn’t expansion. Sometimes it’s redirection. If you’re navigating career change, burnout, passion loss, or wondering whether business ownership is still aligned this episode offers honest perspective. #ADHDEntrepreneur#CareerPivot#WomenInBusiness#NeurodivergentWomen#BurnoutRecovery#CorporateToCalm#ExecutiveFunction#EntrepreneurMindset#WomenInLeadership#BusinessHabits#SustainableSuccess#ADHDAwareness#IntentionalLiving#CareerChange#EmotionalRegulation ⬇️ LINKS & RESOURCES My ADHD Habit Tracker The ADHD Energy Habit Tracker Align your habits with your energy not the other way around!If you’re an ADHD entrepreneur tired of chaos and burnout, this is for you.

Sun, 20 Nov 2022 - 41 - ADHD | Entrepreneurs Resilience Is a Habit, Not a Personality Trait with Yevheniia Lukash
ADHD | Entrepreneurs Resilience Is a Habit, Not a Personality Trait This is an older episode of Corporate to Calm, but the message is incredibly powerful for business owners navigating uncertainty, burnout or change. In this episode, I speak with Yevheniia Lukash a woman whose story is built on resilience, determination and gratitude. “I need to value my life every day.” That sentence alone reframes everything. Since 2014, Yevheniia has faced immense adversity and continued to move forward not through toxic positivity, but through action. For ADHD founders, resilience can feel inconsistent. We can be• Highly motivated one week• Overwhelmed the next• Emotionally reactive• Paralysed by overthinking Yevheniia’s message cuts through the noise “My action is more valuable than my message. I do not have time for pity.” For ADHD entrepreneurs, this is powerful. Momentum regulates the nervous system.Action builds evidence.Evidence builds confidence. Key Lessons for Business Owners 1️⃣ The Value of Living in the PresentADHD often swings between rumination and future anxiety.Presence reduces overwhelm and sharpens focus. 2️⃣ Your Mindset Is Your AllyMindset isn’t affirmations, it’s disciplined thinking.You cannot control everything.But you can control your response. 3️⃣ Not Taking No for an AnswerRejection sensitivity can stop progress.Resilience habits keep you moving. 4️⃣ Helping Others Helps YouYevheniia now supports Ukrainian businesswomen in growing their businesses through Instagram.Service builds strength.Contribution builds purpose. Resilience isn’t dramatic. It’s daily. It’s✔ Showing up when it’s uncomfortable✔ Adjusting instead of quitting✔ Choosing action over pity✔ Staying solution-focused Adjustment is a habit.Action is a habit.Gratitude is a habit. And habits create calm. If you’re building a business with ADHD and navigating uncertainty, this conversation will ground you in what really matters.

Mon, 14 Nov 2022 - 40 - ADHD | Entrepreneurs Community Over Competition (And Why It Regulates Your Business) with The Business of Social
ADHD | Entrepreneurs Community Over Competition (And Why It Regulates Your Business) This is an older episode of Corporate to Calm, but the message is more relevant than ever for ADHD business owners navigating visibility, social media overwhelm and comparison. “Let’s share our knowledge, let’s come together & let’s create something.” In this episode, I speak with The Business of Social founded by social media mentors Devin Landers, Laura Stapleton and Marion Smyth. Their mission?Community over competition. “There are more than enough clients out there for everyone.” For ADHD entrepreneurs, that mindset shift is powerful. Social media can dysregulate the ADHD brain. • Obsessing over follower numbers• Comparison spirals• Dopamine hits from likes• Inconsistent posting• Overthinking content But growth isn’t built on vanity metrics. It’s built on connection. Key Lessons 1️⃣ Community Over CompetitionIsolation increases overwhelm.Collaboration builds confidence and accountability. 2️⃣ Focus on the Right MetricsStop obsessing over followers.Start looking at engagement, conversations, conversions. Data reduces emotional decision-making. 3️⃣ Build EfficienciesADHD entrepreneurs need simple systems.Content batching, templates, repeatable frameworks = less burnout. 4️⃣ Push Beyond the Comfort ZoneVisibility builds resilience.Confidence comes from repetition, not perfection. 5️⃣ Nurture Your Audience“You need to be nurturing your followers.” Consistency in connection builds trust.Trust builds sales. This Can Help Business Growth If you are an ADHD entrepreneur trying to grow on Instagram or online: You don’t need more content ideas.You need ✔ Clear systems✔ Community support✔ Focused metrics✔ Consistent nurturing habits Social media growth is not about doing more.

Tue, 01 Nov 2022 - 39 - ADHD | Entrepreneurs Resilience Is a Habit, Not a Personality Trait with Amelia Peckham - Cool Crutches
ADHD | Entrepreneurs Resilience Is a Habit, Not a Personality Trait This is an older episode of Corporate to Calm, but if you are an ADHD entrepreneur navigating rejection, pivots and self-doubt this one hits differently. In this episode I speak with Amelia Peckham from Cool Crutches. “Whether you will be able to stand, we don’t know… whether you’ll be able to walk, we don’t know… we do know that you won’t be able to walk unaided.” In 2005, Amelia broke her back in a quad biking accident.Doctors didn’t know if she would walk again. She was given three months to rehab. Instead of support, she was handed standard NHS crutches that caused blisters within days clunky, noisy, unfit for purpose. She was told to go back to bed. As business owners are often told • Slow down• Be realistic• Lower expectations• Accept “no”• Stay in your lane But resilience for entrepreneurs isn’t about toxic positivity. It’s about building habits that support momentum. The ADHD Business Lessons from Amelia 1️⃣ Listen to Your Gut Your intuition is often pattern recognition moving fast.If something feels wrong explore it. 2️⃣ Design With the End User in Mind ADHD entrepreneurs thrive when we solve real problems.Amelia didn’t want sympathy.She wanted a solution. So she built one. 3️⃣ Don’t Take “No” as the Final Answer She approached designers and was repeatedly told“I can do everything except…” Except wasn’t good enough. Rejection is data. Not identity. 4️⃣ Hard Work + Systems = Sustainable Success 17 years later, Cool Crutches is thriving.Amelia now works in the business full time. Consistency beats intensity. 5️⃣ No One Will Sell Your Business Better Than You Visibility can feel uncomfortable for ADHD founders.But no one understands your mission like you do. Confidence is built through repetition. ADHD entrepreneurs often • Hyperfocus in crisis• Struggle with authority when it limits possibility• Innovate because standard solutions don’t fit Amelia’s journey is a masterclass in turning frustration into innovation. She didn’t just accept the tools she was given.She redesigned them. That is entrepreneurial thinking. If you’re building a business with ADHD. Resilience isn’t about pushing harder. It’s about building daily habits that support ✔ Momentum✔ Problem-solving✔ Self-trust✔ Visibility✔ Long-term thinking You are worth more than you think.Push outside the comfort zone.Design differently. If you are an ADHD entrepreneur building a business that works differently this episode will remind you what’s possible. #ADHDEntrepreneur#ResilientBusiness#WomenInBusiness#NeurodivergentEntrepreneur#BusinessGrowth#FounderStory#EntrepreneurMindset#ExecutiveFunction#DisabilityInnovation#CorporateToCalm#BusinessHabits#VisibilityMatters#SmallBusinessUK#InnovativeFounders#ADHDAwareness ⬇️ LINKS & RESOURCES My ADHD Habit Tracker The ADHD Energy Habit Tracker Align your habits with your energy not the other way around!If you’re an ADHD entrepreneur tired of chaos and burnout, this is for you.

Wed, 26 Oct 2022 - 38 - ADHD | Entrepreneurs When Experience Becomes Your Business Superpower with Denise Coughlan
ADHD | Entrepreneurs When Experience Becomes Your Business Superpower “Experience has been my greatest friend.” This is an older episode of Corporate to Calm, but for ADHD entrepreneurs navigating uncertainty, pivots and burnout this conversation feels more relevant than ever. In this episode, I speak with Denise from Resolute Wellness a fitness professional with 20+ years in the industry whose business was turned upside down during the pandemic. From award wins in 2019 to opening a new premises in early 2020… and then everything changed. Sound familiar? The Entrepreneur Reality When crisis hits, business owners can often • Swing between hyperfocus and paralysis• Question every decision• Struggle with consistency• Feel the emotional weight of responsibility But here’s what Denise proves Resilience is built through habits, not hype. Lessons for ADHD Business Owners 1️⃣ Be True to Your Values Denise left a secure role when her values no longer aligned. ADHD entrepreneurs cannot sustainably operate in environments that clash with their core beliefs. Misalignment leads to burnout. Clarity builds calm. 2️⃣ Listen to Your Clients (Not the Noise) During uncertainty, it’s easy to panic-pivot. Instead, Denise focused on her community. She created• An online library of classes• The Resolute Candle range• Wellness networking events• Workshops & “Zen Hens” She adapted based on real needs not fear. 3️⃣ Push Outside the Comfort Zone ADHD brains crave novelty. Instead of shutting down during the pandemic, Denise experimented. Trying and creating at all costs became her survival strategy. Action reduces anxiety. 4️⃣ Resilience Is Repetition Awards in 2019.Pandemic in 2020.Rebuild in 2021 and beyond. Consistency isn’t about perfection.It’s about returning to your values again and again. 5️⃣ Language Matters in Business “Conversations need to happen about language in our industry.” For ADHD entrepreneurs especially, words shape identity. How you speak about your clients.How you speak about yourself.How you speak about your business. All of it matters. What Does This Means for Entrepreneurs If you run a small business with ADHD You don’t need to do everything.You need to ✔ Anchor into your values✔ Build repeatable habits✔ Listen deeply to your clients✔ Create simple systems✔ Allow yourself to evolve The pandemic tested every business owner. But it also gave many permission to innovate. Denise didn’t just survive.She expanded her hub of wellness. “Everyone is welcome at Resolute.” That’s leadership. If you are an ADHD entrepreneur looking to build a business that feels aligned, resilient and sustainable this episode is for you. #ADHDEntrepreneur#SmallBusinessOwner#WomenInBusiness#NeurodivergentEntrepreneur#WellnessBusiness#BusinessResilience#EntrepreneurMindset#BusinessHabits#CorporateToCalm#FitnessIndustry#AlignedBusiness#ExecutiveFunction#PandemicBusiness#SustainableSuccess#CommunityDriven ⬇️ LINKS & RESOURCES My ADHD Habit Tracker The ADHD Energy Habit Tracker Align your habits with your energy not the other way around!If you’re an ADHD entrepreneur tired of chaos and burnout, this is for you.

Tue, 20 Sep 2022 - 37 - ADHD | Entrepreneurs Failure Is Not an Option (But Burnout Is) with Sarah Slattery, The Travel Expert
ADHD | Entrepreneurs Failure Is Not an Option (But Burnout Is) This is an older episode of Corporate to Calm, but if you are an ADHD entrepreneur building momentum after setbacks this conversation is gold. In this episode, I speak with Sarah Slattery, founder of The Travel Expert. “Failure is not an option.” And for ADHD entrepreneurs? That hits differently. Making Money From Your Passion (Without Losing Yourself) Sarah spent 25 years in the travel industry, most of them with Sky Tours, eventually becoming a director. But burnout, recession pressures and workload forced a pivot. She left corporate.She backed herself.She built her own brand. “It’s lovely to design your own day.” That freedom is what many ADHD entrepreneurs crave. But freedom without structure?That’s chaos. What Business Owners Can Learn From Sarah? 1️⃣ Pivoting Is a Skill When the pandemic hit, many in travel paused. Sarah doubled down. She stayed visible.She stayed consistent.She kept serving her audience. ADHD entrepreneurs thrive when they turn crisis into creative momentum. 2️⃣ Visibility Is a Habit She grew• Her mailing list• Her website traffic• Her Instagram presence Not by accident.By repetition. Consistency builds authority.Authority builds income. 3️⃣ Hard Work Needs Direction ADHD founders are no strangers to working hard. The difference?Focused effort > scattered effort. “I knew it could be big, if I put in the right time & effort.” Right effort matters. 4️⃣ Push Outside the Comfort Zone “When your back is to the wall, you push yourself.” ADHD brains often perform in urgency. But sustainable growth means• Planned visibility• Strategic pivots• Clear systems• Recovery time 5️⃣ Freedom Requires Systems Designing your own day is powerful. But ADHD entrepreneurs need✔ Structure✔ Repeatable marketing habits✔ Content systems✔ Clear weekly planning Without them, freedom turns into overwhelm. With them, it becomes scale. The Key Entrepreneur Takeaway Failure is not about shutting down. It’s about• Learning• Adjusting• Staying visible• Showing up anyway Sarah didn’t disappear when the industry struggled. She grew. That’s resilience with strategy. . If you’re an ADHD entrepreneur looking to grow your business sustainably this episode is packed with practical lessons on pivoting, visibility and building authority. #ADHDEntrepreneur#WomenInBusiness#EntrepreneurMindset#BusinessGrowth#PivotInBusiness#NeurodivergentEntrepreneur#ContentConsistency#SmallBusinessStrategy#CorporateToCalm#OnlineVisibility#EmailMarketingGrowth#FounderJourney#BusinessHabits#ExecutiveFunction#SustainableSuccess ⬇️ LINKS & RESOURCES My ADHD Habit Tracker The ADHD Energy Habit Tracker Align your habits with your energy not the other way around!If you’re an ADHD entrepreneur tired of chaos and burnout, this is for you.

Sat, 06 Aug 2022 - 33 - How Mistakes Build Better Entrepreneurs with Saifa Kajani
“You need to make mistakes in order to progress.” Perfectionism is something many ADHD entrepreneurs struggle with. We want the idea to be perfect.The launch to be perfect.The business to be perfect. But the truth? Progress comes from messy action and learning along the way. In this oler episode of Corporate to Calm, I speak with Saifa Kajani, founder of The Drunken Cookie and honestly, she is an absolute powerhouse. In her mid-20s, Saifa built a thriving cookie brand during the pandemic, combining creativity, resilience and pure entrepreneurial drive. But her journey wasn’t simple. Saifa opens up about • navigating heartbreak and mental health• building a business during uncertainty• learning through mistakes rather than fearing them• turning creativity into a unique product experience• balancing her passions as a chef, entrepreneur and PT Her cookies are bold, decadent and unapologetically over the top with flavours like 🍪 You Tart – vanilla & white chocolate topped with strawberry Pop-Tart🍪 Kinder K-Hole – white chocolate with hazelnut crème and Kinder Bueno But what makes Saifa stand out isn’t just the product. It’s her mindset. She isn’t afraid to experiment, evolve and keep pushing forward a lesson many ADHD entrepreneurs need to hear. Because growth doesn’t come from avoiding mistakes. It comes from taking action, learning quickly and trying again. Saifa’s ambition? To build the Krispy Kreme of cookies. And honestly… after hearing her story, I wouldn’t bet against her. If you’re an entrepreneur navigating setbacks, creativity or self-doubt, this episode is full of powerful reminders that progress comes from persistence.

Tue, 26 Jul 2022 - 32 - A Holistic Weight loss Programme? - Caraldine Nolan - Weighless Wonders
The latest episode of Corporate to Calm feature Caraldine Nolan from Weighless Wonders. Caraldine is a force of nature. A mother, an entrepreneur, a business owner, an award winner. That’s not even mentioning her charity work. Caraldine founded Weighless Wonders last December. This is a holistic weightloss programme very different from others on the market. Weighless Wonders is both online and in person and from her experience in Weight Watchers Caraldine has created a free members area full of meditation, exercise, budgeting tips, recipes. One of the biggest things Caraldine noticed about Weight Watchers was it was purely focused on food. She talks about how she would be in the queue for class and other members would be discussing their gym or yoga and Caraldine was focused on goal as she couldn’t afford these added extras. This has led to her holistic approach. Caradline and Weighless Wonders want to provide you with all the tools for losing weight not just calorie counting. Following a nervous breakdown Caraldine was prescribed medication that caused her to gain five stone in three months. The meds caused her to crave sugar and she admits she was simply obsessed with food. A friend suggested she join Weight Watchers and the rest as they say is history. Whatever your opinion of these weightloss groups it provided Caraldine with an outlet to meet others, share her story, have time for herself as she was a carer for her two boys and lose nearly seven stone. Caraldine hit her weightloss target, became a WW leader. She championed online during the pandemic and was a huge asset to the organisation. Last December she found out WW was closing in Ireland and that’s when Caraldine established Weighless Wonders and this company is now going from strength to strength. Caraldine was free to implement her own ideas, she was free from the constraints of her employer, and she flew. This is a long one bit honestly you will love Caraldine’s journey from Corporate to Calm. ⬇️ LINKS & RESOURCES My ADHD Habit Tracker The ADHD Energy Habit Tracker Align your habits with your energy not the other way around!If you’re an ADHD entrepreneur tired of chaos and burnout, this is for you.

Thu, 14 Jul 2022 - 31 - ADHD Entrepreneurs | When Slowing Down Is the Strategy (Not the Failure)
ADHD Entrepreneurs | When Slowing Down Is the Strategy (Not the Failure) This is an older solo episode of Corporate to Calm, but if you’re an ADHD entrepreneur navigating burnout, post-illness recovery, or self-doubt this one hits differently now. Last summer, I was ready to take on the world. Momentum was high.Opportunities were flowing.Energy was strong. Then Covid hit in me October and everything changed. What followed forced me to confront three things every ADHD business owner will face at some point • Self-doubt• Slowing down• Consistency The ADHD Entrepreneur Reality When you have ADHD, momentum feels amazing. But when that momentum is interrupted by illness, life, burnout it can spiral quickly into • Negative self-talk• Catastrophic thinking• “I’m falling behind” narratives• Fear of losing relevance• Paralysis through overwhelm Covid pushed me into a very dark mental space. But here’s the truth It was up to me to get myself out. 1️⃣ Self-Doubt Is Loud But It’s Not Truth Self-doubt can feel amplified with ADHD due to rejection sensitivity and emotional intensity. The shift wasn’t mindset magic. It was small repeated action. Confidence is rebuilt through behaviour. 2️⃣ Slowing Down Is Nervous System Regulation My body was crying out for rest. At the time, slowing down felt like failure. In hindsight, it was alignment. ADHD entrepreneurs often override physical signals in pursuit of momentum. But sustainable success requires pacing. Slowing down allowed clarity to return.Clarity restored direction.Direction rebuilt confidence. 3️⃣ Consistency Creates Stability At times, the podcast was the only thing keeping me grounded. Showing up weekly even imperfectly became an anchor habit. Consistency regulates the ADHD brain. It reduces chaos.It builds identity.It restores self-trust. Motivation fluctuates.Habits stabilise. Why This Matters for ADHD Business Owners You cannot build a calm, systemised business if you ignore your nervous system. You cannot scale while dysregulated. This mini chapter of my journey reminded me ✔ Slowing down is strategic✔ Self-doubt passes with action✔ Consistency beats intensity✔ Health comes before hustle If you’re currently in a slower season it doesn’t mean you’re failing. It may mean you’re recalibrating. If you’re navigating career change, burnout, ADHD in business, or rebuilding momentum there are so many episodes waiting for you. You can keep up with me on Instagram The Habit Boss Instagram Looking forward to the next solo instalment.L xx #ADHDEntrepreneur#ADHDBusinessOwner#BurnoutRecovery#WomenInBusiness#NeurodivergentEntrepreneur#ExecutiveFunction#ConsistencyOverIntensity#NervousSystemRegulation#SustainableSuccess#CorporateToCalm#BusinessWithADHD#MindsetShift#EmotionalRegulation#WomenSupportingWomen#HabitsForSuccess ⬇️ LINKS & RESOURCES My ADHD Habit Tracker The ADHD Energy Habit Tracker Align your habits with your energy not the other way around!If you’re an ADHD entrepreneur tired of chaos and burnout, this is for you.

Thu, 05 Mar 2026 - 30 - Knowing your Numbers - Edel Hayes - Accelerate Accounting
"Education and confidence in your finances can make a huge difference" In this episode of Corporate to Calm I speak with Edel Hayes from Accelerate Accounting. Edel refers to Accelerate as a boutique accounting firm for women in business. She started the business when she realised that most small business were handing their accounts to their accountant at the end of the year and had no contact with them throughout. Edel began her career in investment banking with Citibank and travelled the world. When she came home, Edel decided to retrain and become an accountant and her focus was laser sharp. After a variety of corporate roles and after having her second child Edel decided she was going to back herself. Fortunately, she had clients straight away. Edel was ahead of the curve creating Accelerate Accounting, pre-pandemic as a virtual practice. She was ready for the pandemic as she didn’t have that growth curve that other businesses had. “The systems and processes keep things moving and give me time back; I will delegate whatever I can” Edel tells her clients to sit down and go through what you need in the business, this highlights what your strengths are and where the gaps are when you need help. “Time track once a quarter, every single time I do it, I’m shocked – be hyper aware where your time is going” Edel has a passion for travelling and business transferability allows her to work remotely. She encourages her clients to build a business that it easy for you to step away from. Flexibility and time are her priorities above money, this her version of success. “What does success look like to you on weekly basis?” Edel has developed a variety of online classes from The Profit Academy and Bookkeeping for businesses and is simply growing from strength. Edel’s advice is sound and if you are a woman in business you need to contact her now to “future proof your business” I hope you enjoy Edel’s journey from Corporate to Calm x ⬇️ LINKS & RESOURCES My ADHD Habit Tracker The ADHD Energy Habit Tracker Align your habits with your energy not the other way around!If you’re an ADHD entrepreneur tired of chaos and burnout, this is for you.

Tue, 28 Jun 2022 - 29 - Give yourself & your business permission to Breathe - Norma O’Kelly
"Take your time to feel what you want to feel in the moment" In this episode of Corporate to Calm I speak with Norma O’Kelly. Norma started her corporate life in beverages and quickly moved to tech after an amazing stint in France and a bit of travelling (remember kids, it pays to have a second language). Working with Nokia, Oracle and a few start-ups, Norma eventually landed a role in Salesforce where she has ascended to marketing director. “We can’t give ourselves permission to pause when the world is not giving us permission” “Burnout is a cycle that will reappear again and again and again” Redundancy, grief, and illness have played a role however resilience has been key to Norma’s journey and recognising when to slow down, listening to her head, heart and body. “I was a natural mentor; my heart was in coaching” Norma wants to help people; she is open and honest about her experiences, and this draws others to her. We also have an interesting discussion about selfcare and women’s health or lack thereof in Ireland. “The world we live in is a take system” Five years of challenges and a lifetime of extremes have brought her to where she is now Balanced, Happy, Content and looking forward to the journey ahead fully aware she is still dealing with her past. “A coach is not an expert you are there to guide and support” I loved every bit of Norma O’Kelly’s journey from Corporate to Calm.

Mon, 13 Jun 2022 - 28 - A Mindset for Menopause - Fiona Staunton
Welcome to Corporate to Calm Season 3 “I make cooking good food uncomplicated" In this episode of Corporate to Calm I speak with Fiona Staunton from Fiona’s Food for Life @fionasfoodforlife. Fiona has worked in the food industry for over 30 years obtaining a Home Economics degree from Trinity and training in Ballymaloe under Rory O’Connell. “If you taste, smell and see something being made you are more likely to replicate.” Fiona spent years in Australia working in event management and travelling extensively. After having her first child in Australia she decided to move back to Ireland to be closer to family just before the Recession, not the best time but she worked hard and created Fiona’s Food for Life where she will Cook, Eat & Nourish you. Fiona began cooking at home and then showed her tenacity and used to her Network to build an extensive business demonstrating in Corporate. “Let people know what you do, use your Network.” After her busiest month in February 2020, she was hit with the pandemic and began to focus her business online. Unfortunately, a diagnosis of breast cancer forced Fiona to pull back and focus on her and her recovery. Thankfully Fiona is well now however her experience resulted in early menopause. This led to her hunt for information and discovering what medication worked for her. Fiona then developed her Cooking for Menopause programme which has been a huge success. This marries her love of food and knowing what food will nourish you during this stage of your life. Fiona has so much advice on how to eat healthier, one of her biggest tips being to challenge yourself to cook one more meal than you are now, so if it’s none cook one, if it’s five cook six and so on. Fiona is an inspiration, she has taken a situation which many would view as negative and used it to help others, to inspire others I hope you enjoy Fiona’s journey from Corporate to Calm x ⬇️ LINKS & RESOURCES My ADHD Habit Tracker The ADHD Energy Habit Tracker Align your habits with your energy not the other way around!If you’re an ADHD entrepreneur tired of chaos and burnout, this is for you.

Wed, 01 Jun 2022 - 26 - Spark Your Social Media - Laura Stapleton
Welcome to Corporate to Calm Season 3 “It’s not a numbers game, it’s about engagement and community management" In this episode of Corporate to Calm we speak with Laura Stapleton from Little Spark Media @littlesparkmedia. Laura was always creative, into art, colours and marketing and decided to use this creativity and become a primary school teacher. Up until the pandemic Laura was managing her career, twins and an up and coming business. Like many of my guests Laura stumbled into her passion when her PT noticed her expertise and passion for social media he asked her to help him with that side of his business. This led to several referrals and Little Spark Media was born. Laura’s knowledge of social media is immense, and she is always learning and will be the first to let you know of any changes across the platforms. Her clients come first but she has cultivated a community of her own and is adamant that you do not need huge numbers of followers to grow a profitable business “If you have 300 engaged followers, you can sell out”. One of her key tips is to schedule your posts and engage with them later, not to spend too much time on social media. Laura embraced the pandemic; she was still teaching but her commute was gone, and she was given the gift of time. Her business has grown from strength to strength over the past two years and while growing her business, minding her students online and her twin boys at home sure why not add another baby to the mix. This certainly maximised both her and her partners organisational & multitasking skills. Laura has proved if you want something bad enough and are passionate about your business you can achieve it. “You need to do reels, jump on the bandwagon now” Laura very kindly shared her top three Instagram tips and using reels is not one of them, you’ll have to listen to find out what you can do today to enhance your Instagram account and see immediate changes. Laura is calm, collected, organised and when I eventually farm out my social media it will go to Little Spark Media to manage.

Tue, 03 May 2022 - 25 - From Retail Rebel to Tech Maverick: Unfolding Success with Collette Doyle, founder Unfold Digital & Shelfleet
Welcome to Corporate to Calm Season 2 “Have the confidence and experience to say no" In this episode of Corporate to Calm we speak with Collette from Unfold Digital, Shelfleet and the Utu Foundation. Collette is a hive of energy, organisation, and calm. She spoke with me from Austin, Texas where she is now working on her businesses and taking part on the Techstars programme. Collette originally from Tallaght, Dublin (Ireland) pursued a career in retail, leaving school without telling her parents and running a department on Arnott’s all before she was officially an adult. A couple of years in Greece, then seven in England. Collette moved back to Ireland at the height of the recession and decided education was where she wanted to be. Working full-time, attending college at night, an 80-hour week was not sustainable. After a few more positions Collette’s love for marketing topped everything and this turned into a passion, eventually assuming the role of managing director in a tech start up. In 2020 just before the Pandemic, Collette had an epiphany that do you know what “I can do this myself” She was working her ass of for someone else and decided enough was enough and to go out on her own. Not the best time, but to be honest, is there ever a good time to start your own business? One of Collette’s other passions is her charity work. She is one of the board members for the Utu Foundation. This charity raises money for a school in Narobi, Kenya. Collette’s move out on her own gave her the freedom to focus on this project during the pandemic and in May 2020 she moved herself and her business to Kenya to work remotely for two years. Narobi is 3 hours ahead of Ireland so Collette rising at 6am was able to get a 6 hour jump on the day which was essentially the gift of time. “I go to the gym at six in the morning, which was only 3am in Ireland, which meant I had so much time. Back from the gym, I do yoga for an hour. I journal. I'd make my smoothie. I'd sit on my balcony. I'd read, I'd start my emails. At the time I had like half my day’s done & my clients are only starting their day.” Collette’s organisation is the key to her success, with everything down to her selfcare captured in her diary. Towards the end of last year @shelfleet was born and the decision to move to Austin, Texas. A move that came a lot quicker than expected. Collette was home in Ireland for Christmas and received a call to say they expected her in Austin on January 6th With all her belongings, her life still in Kenya. Christmas was cut short and with a quick trip to Kenya to pack up her life, Collette arrived in Austin to work on her new venture and take up her place on the prestigious, Entrepreneurial Accelerator Programme, Techstars. Collette has two non-negotiables in her working day “I will never be in the office before I go to the gym. It's so important to me that I start the day with like a clear head and not like wake his mood in a bad mood and just be fuzzy for the rest of the day. The other thing is I will never eat my lunch at my desk.” Collette’s journey is so interesting and there is still so much to come before she retires at 40 in a castle, in Italy with 70 dogs.

Tue, 29 Mar 2022 - 24 - Mothers Reinvented: Redefining Success and Confidence in Motherhood & Careers with Jennifer Santos, founder Mothers Reinvented
Jennifer Santos is a Mum of three and an entrepreneur. She decided to set up Mothers Reinvented when she took some time out after having her children. “I knew that the work I was doing as a strategy consultant, no longer fit with my new values as a mother, as a person, as a woman” This is such an important episode for those juggling and struggling with Motherhood and their Corporate Careers. Those who are questioning themselves and looking for answers. Jennifer took one year off maternity leave and loved it at first and like many of us in her position started to crave her own identity. She was happy to return to work and establish herself again however she felt overwhelmed and, in some situations, unsupported. Jennifer was always running from one place to another, getting those on you’re on a half day looks when she got up from her desk at 5pm to collect her child from creche. “You do not need your bum on a seat on your office to do your job” Jennifer decided to take a break and discover what she wanted to do, this resulted in her establishing Mother’s Reinvented. This is where Jennifer offers help, advice and support to Mother’s returning to the workplace after a break or those deciding to change career completely. Jennifer’s three key tips are: Planning – Plan as much as you can before you return to the workplace. Do dry runs of the drop offs, are you giving yourself enough time? Ask for Help – Simple as for help outside of the workplace. What help can your partner offer, your friends, your family, your children? Ask for training – most women feel vulnerable when they return to the workplace. Don’t get snowballed. Ask to shadow someone. If a new piece of equipment or program has been introduced while you were away ask for training. One of the biggest things Jennifer will work on with you is your confidence and reminding you that you have every right to be there, the knowledge that you have and reducing that ever present imposter syndrome. And if you decide that it’s not for you, then why stay? It’s back to planning and deciding what is for right for you and your situation. What is right, maybe a career move, a break or starting a new venture? Jennifer encourages you to explore every avenue. “What’s your biggest fear? That you do nothing, that you fail, or you take action.” Nothing will happen if you don’t act.

After a tough first year things started to blossom and in 2021 Pam began managing podcast, Key Step Podcast Management. This is something that she was born to do. Pam knows everything about Podcasts which is very helpful to me…. When setting up the business Pam kept saying to herself what’s the worst thing that could happen? “The worst thing that could happen is that it doesn't work out and I have to go get a job" “You need to be able to take a step back and look at a bigger picture. And whether that's taking, like I do see on Mondays, so CEO, Mondays are, I have no calls with clients and I focus on my business” Pam is all about a distraction free life. She has all her notifications off on her phone, she only checks everything three times a day and her clients know how to contact her of its urgent. “It is so important to honour your boundaries” The top three things to know when opening your new business. Know Your Finances Know Your Vision Celebrate Your Milestones Pam decided to manage Podcasts in 2021 and she loves the fact that her clients give her the raw data and two weeks later she hands it back, it’s a lot less touch than her VA work. Pam offers fantastic advice if you are starting a podcast and she has a blog full of great information, your authenticity and idea being the crux of your podcast. She gets so excited about the world of podcasting and will launch a podcasting course in 2022. Her advice on taking that leap from Corporate to Calm is very simple. Have a clear plan, have a clear strategy and have clear boundaries. So, grab a cuppa, sit back, relax, walk, go on the treadmill, drive to your meeting, and hopefully enjoy Pam’s journey from Corporate to Calm x ⬇️ LINKS & RESOURCES My ADHD Habit Tracker The ADHD Energy Habit Tracker Align your habits with your energy not the other way around!If you’re an ADHD entrepreneur tired of chaos and burnout, this is for you.

Tue, 01 Mar 2022 - 22 - From Boardrooms to Bestsellers - Emma Jane Leeson, founder Johnny Magory World
“I am a businesswoman with a talent for writing" In this episode of Corporate to Calm we speak with Emma Jane Leeson from @johnnymagoryworld. Emma Jane is a Mum of 3, holder of numerous degrees, an all-rounder when it came to business. Her energy is contagious and she is so passionate about the amazing world she has created. Emma Jane wrote her first book at least ten years before she took the leap to solely focus on Johnny Magory. The funny thing is that it may not have happened had she realised Johnny was a well-known name in many Irish households and not just the figment of her dad’s imagination. There was no fear when releasing them, no expectation, just a passion to put on paper the stories from her childhood. "Bord na Mona was the best learning ground, 7 of us looking after 2.5k people. You learned to do everything” Emma Jane gained her business acumen from a variety of sources, starting in what became Top Gifts and then progressing to Bord na Mona. A huge opportunity arose when she started in the Central Bank but she quickly realised it was not for her and after only a couple of months took the risk of leaving this most sought position. Then came Kerry Foods, this is our common ground. Our paths didn’t cross but we both knew you earned your stripes at Kerry. "My advice, Write the Book!!" Emma Jane’s advice to budding authors is plain & simple – write the bloody book. She is frequently asked for advice and then quickly learns that most are seeking information without having put pen to paper. From the start Emma Jane treated her endeavours like a business with divisions, she may have been the head of all divisions but having different units made it easier to keep track of what there was to do. Sustainability and the outdoors are a huge part of the business. The Johnny Magory World of books are the first to be biodegradable. It’s hard to have a lot of merch without plastic but they find a way through. “This is Nickelodeon, not diddle-e-ey” Emma Jane’s vision from the start was global, changing the spelling of the name to fit with an American audience. Although printing in Ireland was always a priority and she makes sure this is the case at all costs. Her PR are always delighted when a book comes out as she has a wish list as long as your arm and a determined, clear vision. Emma Jane’s advice to any new business is clear, go to your local LEO and tell them you are a business not an author & invest in a virtual assistant. So, grab a cuppa, sit back, relax, walk, go on the treadmill, drive to your meeting, and hopefully enjoy Emma Jane’s journey from Corporate to Calm x ⬇️ LINKS & RESOURCES My ADHD Habit Tracker The ADHD Energy Habit Tracker Align your habits with your energy not the other way around!If you’re an ADHD entrepreneur tired of chaos and burnout, this is for you.

Wed, 02 Feb 2022 - 21 - Strength, Resilience, and Empowerment: Amber Moore’s Journey from Mompreneur to Fitness Queen
“You need the specific tools for the results you want to get" In this episode of Corporate to Calm we speak with Amber Moore from @coachedbyamber. Amber is a Mum of 5, a strength & conditioning coach and the Queen of Pre & Post Natal movement. Yes, 5 kids. Amber's business is thriving. We chat about the struggles of creating a business with children, running a business with children & how you pivot to ensure you business survives a pandemic. "I dressed them while they were still asleep" Amber chats about how she felt like a fraud having had her kids and not being in the body she believed a fitness professional should. Her empathy for her clients is immense however she is there to do a job and you are paying for a job. She wants to see result however she cannot gift these to you, you have to work hard for them. "Stop Wishing, Start Doing" Amber's dedication to her own goals in life is something I truly admire. Amber's body sculpting journey is astonishing. She set herself a goal and built a plan to achieve it in 2017. Her path to competing last September might seem crazy to some but to the educated it is commendable building her body by consuming 4,500 calories per day. She uses food to fuel her body with zero emotional eating. Amber is my coach and pre-Covid I was in the best shape and mindset of my life. I may not have the same level of energy I had pre last October but I have the same mindset and that is what has kept me going post Covid. Amber's chat is honest and a story I'm hearing all too often, the mother is the primary caregiver, the primary day to day doer.

Mon, 17 Jan 2022 - 20 - Empowering Transformation - Dominiquea Kearns founder Divine Discovery
“Reiki makes me feel good about myself”. In this episode of Corporate to Calm we speak with Dominiquea Kearns from Skin Spirit by Dominiquea. This story is so interesting because Dominiquea is literally mid Corporate to Calm journey. A beauty therapist by trade. Dominiquea developed a keen interest in Reiki over the past two years. This has led to her tapping into her Medium abilities and one Christmas is done Dominiquea will leave the beauty world behind (apart from skin) and focus on what she made to do. I met Dominiquea (virtually) about 18 months ago and all I can say to watch her growth in confidence and herself over the past year and a half has been a pleasure. A shy and timid beautician has blossomed into a confident, positive, and amazing businesswoman. “The Power is Always with You” When Dominiquea starts to talk Reiki her passion shines through. Her knowledge is amazing and when it came to Reiki she has never second guessed herself. I booked myself in for a session with her last week and I loved it. The energy, the positivity. I was open to everything and because of this I received a beautiful experience and a week later I am still on a high with no negative thoughts and a huge appetite and excitement for 2022 So, grab a cuppa, sit back, relax, walk, go on the treadmill, drive to your meeting, and hopefully enjoy Dominquea’s journey from Corporate to Calm x ⬇️ LINKS & RESOURCES My ADHD Habit Tracker The ADHD Energy Habit Tracker Align your habits with your energy not the other way around!If you’re an ADHD entrepreneur tired of chaos and burnout, this is for you.

Tue, 21 Dec 2021 - 19 - Empowering Confidence: Sarah Lyons’ Journey from Fashion Stylist to Body Confidence Coach
“If the sizing bothers you, simply cut the tag off”. In this episode of Corporate to Calm we speak with Sarah Lyons from Well Styled by Sarah and the recently launched Sarah Lyons Coaching. We chat about her love of fashion and how shopping trips would end up in her offering advice to other shoppers. This resulted in the birth of Well Styled by Sarah. Sarah worked primarily within the pharmacy industry managing stores and like our last guest left her career when she had her first child. As motherhood ensued Sarah decided as much as she loves her children, she wanted more for herself. “I’m so lost, I don’t know what to do, I feel like I’ve no purpose outside being a mother” Sarah is so honest about her loss of identity when she became a Mum. Her story really rings through with my own, wanting you children so much, wanting to be the best Mum and losing yourself in the process. The meaningless chat at the schoolyard gates, the endless collections, there must be more to this. “Who are you, Sarah?” Sarah absolutely loves fashion and her move to styling was inevitable. Her business is successful but like us all we have faced the unknown over the past two years. Sarah wondered what more she wanted from her career, she knew she wanted to help people feel good about themselves internally as well as externally. She wanted to help people back to themselves and understand that the fashion industry is… “Viewing you as an object to wear their clothes now looking at you as a person.” Sarah’s body confidence coaching is so appealing and needed. She talks with such passion. Your body changes every single day, and you can’t simply focus on one thing. She teaches her clients that they can change their story. Her businesses marry well together, and she realised when with a client one day that she needed the skills to empower women to feel good in their bodies, making it “an inside and outside job” Sarah’s biggest piece of advice is to listen to yourself because your wisdom comes for your gut and always go with that, make a plan and put the action to it. Sarah’s chat is honest, refreshing and so common in a world where a woman gives up her career to have children and it is not quite the fairy-tale it was expected to be. She has taken her past experiences in business and learned from them. Sarah has just launched her new coaching website and 2022 is looking bright. ⬇️ LINKS & RESOURCES My ADHD Habit Tracker The ADHD Energy Habit Tracker Align your habits with your energy not the other way around!If you’re an ADHD entrepreneur tired of chaos and burnout, this is for you.

Tue, 14 Dec 2021 - 18 - Smashing Social Media as an Introvert - Elayne Heaney - Wonderfully Weathery Books
“I went through this journey with my little boy and it’s ours”. In this episode of Corporate to Calm we speak with Elayne Heaney from Wonderfully Weathery Books. We chat about her love of being a Mum and how the special relationship with her little boy was the key driver behind her passion to create her magical land of Weatherville. This beautiful world was created from their story time together and his inquisitive mind. “It was a love story to my little boy”. Elayne who is the very definition of Corporate to Calm worked in HR where she thrived and excelled through the ranks. Like most of us she didn’t realise her last day in the office was the day she went on maternity leave. Elayne is also a former dancer and a self- confessed introvert. She literally musters the courage every day to eat her frogs. We chatted about how in the corporate world getting things done wasn’t an issue and how we put roadblocks in the way when we are doing it for ourselves. We also chatted about being working Mums “if I had all day, it would be amazing” but as we know we don’t we scramble to get the work done while they are at school, we get into a flow and we must bring them to soccer or swimming. The struggle as a Mum with their own business is real. Elayne’s chat is honest, refreshing and you soon realise this is a powerhouse of a woman, seriously, self-published and growing her brand from strength to strength. It was amazing to me that she questioned herself, often felt imposter syndrome and worried whether others thought she had notions. Elayne’s biggest piece of advice is do your research and ask the questions. Don’t be afraid to reach out to other people in the industry. We also chatted about the bread bin being the sin bin and that’s where she pops the phone when she is enjoying family time. Elayne Heaney is here to stay she has created an amazing world with a never-ending number of characters, and I can’t wait for my little ones to read her beautiful books. So, grab a cuppa, sit back, relax, walk, go on the treadmill, drive to your meeting and hopefully enjoy Elayne’s journey from Corporate to Calm x ⬇️ LINKS & RESOURCES My ADHD Habit Tracker The ADHD Energy Habit Tracker Align your habits with your energy not the other way around!If you’re an ADHD entrepreneur tired of chaos and burnout, this is for you.

Tue, 07 Dec 2021 - 17 - The Strength & Resilience of Coffee- Stephen Kennedy - Copper + Straw
“Competition keeps you on your toes, it makes you work harder and it’s healthy”. In this episode of Corporate to Calm we speak with Stephen Kennedy from Copper + Straw coffee, located in Bray, Wicklow and Arran Quay in Dublin. We chat about his love of coffee and how this passion & love resulted in him opening an extremely successful coffee business. Stephen decided to open his beloved Copper + Straw when he realised that he was not going to pursue his other love of writing. He is ambitious, conscientious, and hard-working. Stephen’s leap from Corporate to Calm came after serious research and groundwork. He was working his full-time career is higher education and serving coffee as a barista on the weekends. He simply didn’t open a coffee shop to let others do the job, make the coffee, Stephen embraced every aspect of opening Copper + Straw and he wanted to “do something interesting and different in the coffee space”. The ritual of coffee is so important to Stephen and different coffees tick different boxes depending on the day of the week or time of the day. “A flat white is a hug” while an espresso can simply get you through. We chat about Pride and how Copper + Straw has embraced it making it positive and fun in an energetic way. We also discuss sustainability and how from the water sensors on the taps to the cups, the napkins, everything has been thought about. Stephen thinks this need to be pushed even further and has an appetite to make these further sustainability changes in his business. “Follow you dreams and change these dreams into an ambition” Stephen tells me about the sense of community in Bray and about the risk he took to open Arran Quay during a global pandemic, between his belief in the project and his knowledge of the market it was a risk he knew would pay off. When asking him about advice to a budding entrepreneur, Stephen wants everyone to make their dreams a reality however you need to do the groundwork, you need to understand what you want to do, and you don’t need to make impulsive decisions, do the research and then take the leap. Everyone needs to follow their dreams, but those dreams need to be driven by ambition. So, grab a cuppa sit back and relax or go for a walk to your favourite coffee shop. Whatever you do, I hope you love this episode as much as I did. ⬇️ LINKS & RESOURCES My ADHD Habit Tracker The ADHD Energy Habit Tracker Align your habits with your energy not the other way around!If you’re an ADHD entrepreneur tired of chaos and burnout, this is for you.

Tue, 23 Nov 2021 - 16 - Playing Games - Eric Finn - Xampl_xx
“One of my biggest achievements is getting over what people think of me in this space”. In this episode of Corporate to Calm we speak with Eric Finn a.k.a xampl_xx. A member of the Irish Fifa Team and newly signed to Jesse Lingard. Eric is living the life he actively sought Eric chats about his passion for all things gaming. He is open about his mental health struggles and how a somewhat unhealthy habit has become an amazing, fun career he is so passionate about. Eric only took the leap from Corporate to Calm in the past few months. At 24 he decided to leave a safe pensionable job in a bank and pursue a dream career that he identified when he was eleven years old. At that age Eric became the online youtube gamer xampl_xx, he was uploading tips and tricks on there before we realised what youtube even was. At that time, he was getting such a slagging or as he calls it death about his youtube career that he gave it all up. Eric reckons he’d be earning millions had he continued his original journey. “Reality is his escape from Fifa” Four years ago, Eric was struggling through a breakup, he says he wasn’t performing in university, and he threw himself into gaming as an escape from everything. Fairly quickly he was making a name for himself. His hours playing has led to amazing opportunities and things will only get better as his ambition and drive take him where he wants to be. “To cognitively perform at your best, you need to be physically and mentally well. Leaving his career in the bank has brought more structure to Eric’s. Going to the gym every day at 9am and keeping a to do list helps him focus on what he must achieve in any given time. Even if he only achieves 70% of what he must do, he takes the win, moves on and let’s go of what he hasn’t done. Eric is mature, focused and I 100% believe he will get where he wants to go. I hope you are inspired by Eric Finn’s journey from Corporate to Calm ⬇️ LINKS & RESOURCES My ADHD Habit Tracker The ADHD Energy Habit Tracker Align your habits with your energy not the other way around!If you’re an ADHD entrepreneur tired of chaos and burnout, this is for you.

Tue, 09 Nov 2021 - 15 - Running for Your Life - Lisa Byrne - MisFit Fitness
“It’s not about money, it’s about finding your passion!”. In this episode of Corporate to Calm we speak with Lisa Byrne. Lisa chats about her passion for fitness and the outdoors. She is open about her mental health struggles and how running has literally saved her life. Lisa took her leap from Corporate to Calm when she left her well paid, pensionable career in the bank. Lisa founded MisFit (with a heart between the s&f). MisFit is an amazing community Lisa has created in Gorey as well as a thriving online community too. Lisa says her honesty draws people in and she is committed to teaching people to love themselves. “Running saves my soul on a regular basis” Lisa like Forrest is always running but this passion has taught her discipline, integrity and she wants to spread this love of running to others. She has taught over 200 women to run 5k plus in the past eighteen months. Lisa is open about her struggles with alcohol, drugs, and the pressures of being a single parent. This does not hold her back; she is constantly seeking the next challenge and every day is a learning day. Recently Lisa went back to college to pursue one of her biggest passions, the outdoors where the course directors were so eager to have her on the course, they allowed her to break the hours down to suit her family and business. “Follow you passion, and the rest will follow” – this is exactly what Lisa is doing. I’ve known Lisa since I was four years old and literal years will pass between our coffees, but old friends are the best and let’s face it know too much. I had such a fun experience recording Lisa’s journey from Corporate to Calm. It brought me joy. I dare you not to smile. I dare you not to admire. ⬇️ LINKS & RESOURCES My ADHD Habit Tracker The ADHD Energy Habit Tracker Align your habits with your energy not the other way around!If you’re an ADHD entrepreneur tired of chaos and burnout, this is for you.

Wave of Light – Pregnancy Loss AwarenessTrigger Warning: Pregnancy Loss, IVF, Emotional Distress This episode of ADHD Is… is a deeply personal one. I’m sharing my experience of IVF, pregnancy loss, and the emotional impact of navigating it all while living with ADHD. This time of year always brings reflection, and I wanted to open up about a journey that shaped not only my life, but the path that led me from corporate life into a more intentional, calmer way of living. I was told my IVF hadn’t worked just 10 minutes before a work meeting. And like so many women, I had to carry on. Show up. Perform. Deliver. That moment stayed with me. And it highlights something we don’t talk about enough the lack of support for pregnancy loss and fertility struggles in the workplace, especially for women managing ADHD, emotional regulation and mental load on top of everything else. In this episode, I talk through My personal IVF journey and pregnancy loss Masking, coping and showing up in corporate environments Why more awareness and compassion is needed in workplaces How this experience contributed to my Corporate to Calm journey This isn’t a polished conversation, it’s a real one.

Wed, 15 Apr 2026 - 13 - Life through a Lens - Own How Amazing You Are - Ariana Youmans Keenahan - Well Fed Photography
“If you have a small seed of desire, that’s all it takes”. In this episode of Corporate to Calm we speak with Ariana Youmans Keenahan from Well Fed Photography. Ariana chats about her passion for photography and building memories and how this ties in with her life as a Mum, breastfeeding advocate & podcaster. Ariana took her leap from Corporate to Calm when she founded her business Well Fed Photography which is continually evolving into the photographic experience Ariana desires for her clients. Her vision is to capture precious family moments through the years, generation. One of the biggest aims of Well Fed is to normalise breastfeeding, creating unforgettable, beautiful images of the most intimate moments between Mother and Child. Well Fed Photography was a side hustle that became a career. Another amazing business born from having children and an employer that just didn’t get it. Ariana chats about how the lockdown was an extremely positive experience and how once you walk yourself through the fog it’s amazing what becomes apparent on the other side. She discusses outsourcing and how this started in the home first and has thus spilled into the business. Ariana is a pioneer for self-love. She affirms the love of her body every day and we discuss experiences of masseuse reluctant to touch her to tummy to a colleague telling her she wasn’t woman enough for him. Ariana’s breastfeeding sessions are beautiful and between writing a book and transforming how consumers view photography it’s no wonder that she is a huge advocate for me time. She knows filling her cup will spill over in a hugely positive way for her family and the business. Ariana’s self-care routine is so special, and we can all take a lesson from her. “If I don’t take care of myself, physically, nutritionally….it doesn’t matter what I’m reading because I’m not going have the energy to pour into changing” Ariana is a woman supporting and lifting other women and her 10k in 10 days is further proof of this. “Own How Amazing You Are!”. I had such a beautiful experience recording Ariana’s journey from Corporate to Calm and have loved listening to it.

Mon, 11 Oct 2021 - 12 - The Power of a Positive Outlook - Dee Kelly Dooley - Bray’s Barbie
The latest episode of Corporate to Calm went live across all platforms earlier.“A truly happy person live life on a detour” I have spent the last 6 months chatting with Entrepreneurs with a huge Community spirit.In this episode of Corporate to Calm I am speaking with a Community Leader with a huge Entrepreneurial spirit. Last year Dee Kelly Dooley found a Barbie on the beach in Bray and the rest as they say is history. Dee is a Special Needs Assistant in a high school. She has zest for life, for photography and oozes positivity. Her caring nature sines through and when she adopted that Barbie from the beach, she adopted a town with it. Barbie toured the town, supported & opened business, championed charities, and she even won her very own Bray Chamber Endeavor Award (not jealous at all). Dee speaks openly about how the pandemic affected her and how Barbie saw her through the bad days and let’s be honest even on those bad days life is still lived with a cup half full. Dee embraces all opportunities that are delivered to her and the best piece of advice she has is “make your bed”. Even on the bad days when the house is falling down around you, you can go in look at your bed, breathe and you won’t want to jump back into it. Dee is full of amazing one liners and I loved every one of them. “Giving is living!” “I keep my Karma banks full” “Do something that scares you everyday” So sit back, relax and please enjoy Dee Kelly Dooley’s journey from Corporate to Calm. ⬇️ LINKS & RESOURCES My ADHD Habit Tracker The ADHD Energy Habit Tracker Align your habits with your energy not the other way around!If you’re an ADHD entrepreneur tired of chaos and burnout, this is for you.

Mon, 16 Aug 2021 - 11 - Work, Rest and most Importantly Play - Joanna Fortune - Solamh
“Making something a daily practise makes it effortless”. In this episode of Corporate to Calm I speak with Joanna Fortune. Joanna chats about her passion for play and how this shines through in her life as a psychotherapist, author & podcaster. Joanna took her leap from Corporate to Calm twelve years ago when she founded her business Solamh which is the Irish for wisdom. This being the wisdom that exists between people, which at that time was between parent & child. Solamh launched while The Celtic Tiger was letting out it’s last roar. Joanna literally developed a strategy that enabled her Corporate NGO workplace to function without her. It was a roll of the dice but at that time if financial uncertainty & crisis her new business was exactly what was needed. Joanna explains that when you start a business for the first couple of years your job is to stay in business. Working and maybe not earning. She talks about lessons learned and saying Yes to every opportunity. This strategy is aligned to her excellent media tips. Joanna’s transfer of business online during the past 18 months was seamless and the demand for her & and other mental health practitioners has been overwhelming. Joanna is a woman supporting and lifting other women up rather than leaving them behind. “Talk, share & amplify each other”. I had so much fun recording Joanna’s journey from Corporate to Calm and have loved listening to it. ⬇️ LINKS & RESOURCES My ADHD Habit Tracker The ADHD Energy Habit Tracker Align your habits with your energy not the other way around!If you’re an ADHD entrepreneur tired of chaos and burnout, this is for you.

Conor speaks about "the world being against you" when it comes to nutrition and there is something wrong when you "can purchase a Mars bar for less than an apple". Despite his first word being "more" Conor has a balanced approach to life with his guilty pleasure being an IPA & his mental health taken care of with sleep, eating well & exercise. His story is an inspiration. He is a self referred one man band & in my opinion a force to be reckoned with. Conor has had one of the worst years from a personal perspective. Has that stopped him? 100% NO! It's driven him to have one of the most successful years professionally. ⬇️ LINKS & RESOURCES My ADHD Habit Tracker The ADHD Energy Habit Tracker Align your habits with your energy not the other way around!If you’re an ADHD entrepreneur tired of chaos and burnout, this is for you.
