Creating a FUN and fulfilling ADHD career - yes, it is possible!

Looking for a fulfilling and fun career that doesn't lead to burnout and boredom, with full awareness of your ADHD? Amanda Perry is the person to listen to and this clip is as wise as they get!

As many of us know, overworking and not prioritising our mental health can be a trait many of us relate to - this may have been a pattern your undiagnosed self fell into for many years.

We discuss this with guest Amanda Perry, a serial entrepreneur and ADHD advocate. Following her diagnosis in 2020, she realized she had built a prison instead of a business, so she set about creating a life that worked WITH her brain instead of against it. She now helps other founders create their own version of success, balancing the value of time, energy, and money.

In today's ADHD Women's Wellbeing Podcast, Kate and Amanda talked about:

  • Getting clear on your values so you can create a career that includes them
  • Deciding how you want your work to make you feel
  • Non-negotiable values for our ADHD careers
  • Having fun, creating systems and making money!
  • Amanda's journey in business being undiagnosed ADHD
  • Creating ADHD-friendly systems to make life easier
  • Having the courage to change and pivot in business
  • Upper limiting ourselves as self-protection
  • Putting our nervous system first
  • Having autonomy over your mental health
