Becoming an Empowered ADHD Entrepreneur

With awareness and knowledge comes power.

It's difficult to have perspective and make change when we aren't aware of why we're behaving the way we do and understanding our self-sabotaging actions. My guest this week is now empowered by his recent ADHD diagnosis and is using his new awareness to step into his next entrepreneurial chapter and lead with more intuitiveness and self-trust.

This week's ADHD Women's Wellbeing Podcast guest is Alex Partridge, one of the pioneers of social media content the way we know it today. At age 21, he founded UNILAD and LADBible, two of the world's most popular social news and entertainment Internet companies, with an astonishing following of 100 million people around the globe. At 34 years old, Alex was diagnosed with ADHD and has quickly become a leading voice on social media around neurodiversity. He is now the host of the epic ADHD Chatter Podcast.

In this week's ADHD Women's Wellbeing Podcast, Kate and Alex Partridge talk about:

  • How Alex's ADHD showed up
  • Anxiety and internalised ADHD
  • Breaking the stigmas of male and female ADHD
  • Alex's entrepreneurial story
  • ADHD cycles of burnout and boom and bust
  • What happened when Alex sold UNILAD
  • Our ADHD ideas and understanding our interests and challenges
  • Choosing sustainable ideas that keep your interest
  • People pleasing and RSD, alongside being an ADHD business owner
  • Being aware and recognising our ADHD dysregulation and burnout in business and private life
  • Failing and learning fast and leading more intuitively with ADHD
  • ADHD hyperfocus and losing interest in projects
  • Building a supportive ADHD community
  • Reducing the shame we have held for so long
