EP. 85: ADHD, Emotion and RSD with Entrepreneur & Coffee Magnate, Helena Hills

ADHD for Smart Ass Women with Tracy Otsuka

Join Tracy as she welcomes entrepreneur Helena Hills to Episode 85 of ADHD for Smart Ass Women. Helena co-founded True Start Coffee with her husband Simon when they were both triathletes. True Start is a feel-good coffee company that is all about positivity and putting people first. It is one of the fastest-growing young drink brands in the UK and has won a host of impressive awards. True Start retails in over 1000 UK outlets and is exported to several international markets as well. Helena is also the mother of two little boys.

Helena shares how she started a business that she realizes today was literally her treatment and the circumstances surrounding her diagnosis. She discusses how ADHD affected her childhood, what kind of teenager she was, and her favorite subjects in school. Helena explains how she realized that drivenness is a form of hyperactivity, the importance of interest to her brain, and the significance of environment and positive emotion.

She talks about her experience with RSD (rejection sensitive dysphoria), what she loves to do at True Start, and what she doesn’t love to do at True Start. Helena highlights the ADHD traits that she believes are responsible for her success, the key to living successfully with ADHD, the importance of reducing stress levels, and her best ADHD workarounds.
