EPISODE: 8

Feel like the online business world wasn’t built for your brain? You’re not alone—and you’re not broken.

“You don’t need to twist yourself into someone else’s version of what a ‘successful entrepreneur’ looks like. You get to build something real—something that reflects your actual brain, not the one the algorithm wants.”

Running a business with a neurodivergent brain? In this episode of Boldly Introverted – the Online Business Podcast, we explore what it really looks like to build a sustainable business when you're working with executive dysfunction, sensory overload, time blindness, and more. You’ll hear mindset shifts, tool recommendations, and permission to do things differently—and visibly.

Whether you’re navigating ADHD, AvPD, or something else, this conversation will help you see your brain not as a barrier, but as a powerful part of your business blueprint.

HERE ARE THE KEY TAKEAWAYS FROM THIS EPISODE:

Your neurodivergence is a strength—not a flaw.

From hyperfocus to pattern recognition, many of the traits that challenge you in traditional settings become assets in entrepreneurship.

The right systems reduce friction, not freedom.

Visual planning tools, energy-based scheduling, and automation can ease the load on your brain without rigid routines.

Mindset shifts matter just as much as tools.

You don’t have to earn rest or prove your pace. Slowness, softness, and self-honesty are sustainable strategies—not setbacks.

Sharing how you work creates trust, not doubt.

Naming your needs and designing around them helps your audience connect with you—not question your credibility.

INSPIRED ACTION (Optional):
Try planning your next workday using energy-based categories instead of time slots: “High focus,” “Low energy,” and “Creative play.” Notice how your brain responds.
