ADHD, Burnout, and the Entrepreneur Impulse: Find your balance in the New Year

ADHD: Powerful Possibilities from New Diagnosis & Beyond

ADHD Coach Katherine Sanders

As we snuggle into the dark heart of January, many adults with ADHD face extra challenges with their resolutions, entrepreneurial ventures, and the risk of burnout raises its head.

In this episode, we explore why this time of year can be particularly tough and offer practical strategies to manage burnout once you've recognised the warning signs. Whether you're struggling with the winter blues, thinking that your new year vision isn't worth the effort or managing the demands of entrepreneurship, this podcast provides practical strategies and some slightly random visual images just for your kind of brain.

Join me as we discuss how to create effective scaffolding for success, and maintain well-being when you're flirting with ADHD Burnout.

This is more than just a conversation; it's a lifeline for thriving in business and life, especially for midlife ADHDers with a dream of doing things differently - and maybe even starting their own business to find success and freedom on their own terms but who maybe feel it's too late or their circumstances just don't work for them.
