I want to share some of the most 'taboo' topics you can possibly introduce into your business marketing, and I promise by the end of this episode, you'll understand why this can be your secret weapon to stand out and attract your ideal clients.
In this episode, I get into why bringing up politics, mental health, money, relationships, and yes, even sex, can be strategies to make your small business memorable.
Give this episode a listen, and you’ll not only learn how to incorporate these so-called 'taboo' topics into your content marketing but also get practical strategies on how to share without being overly vulnerable or unprofessional.
By the end of the episode, you’ll be better equipped to scare away the clients who aren’t a fit and draw in those who fully align with who you are and what you stand for.
It’s time to be unapologetically yourself and connect genuinely with your audience in ways that not only resonate but stick.
Oh, yeah, and remember to vote Kamala in 2024!
Unless you just fell out of a tree.

How do you beaver up your business?I was scrolling through my social media feed the other day when I stumbled upon the most peculiar video: a beaver diligently collecting household items to create a dam inside someone's bathtub.
It struck me how instinctual it is for these creatures to obstruct the natural flow of water—and then I realized, isn't that what we often do in our own businesses?
I’ve now coined the term: "beavering your business as a result of this lesson I've learned."
Often, ADHD entrepreneurs unconsciously create energy blocks that prevent success, clients, and money from flowing naturally.
How do we create dams in our own success?It's all about the stories we tell ourselves—stories about our ADHD, our relationship with money, or our skill sets.
Instead of treating these as minor hurdles to overcome, we magnify them into insurmountable obstacles.
For instance, constantly blaming ADHD for our challenges not only limits our actions but also keeps us in a perpetual state of powerlessness.
We even use our "bad relationship with money" as a convenient excuse to avoid asking for the compensation we deserve.
By acknowledging and tackling these stories head-on, you’ll learn how to redirect that blocking energy into something more constructive.
After listening to this episode, you'll gain valuable insights into recognizing and dismantling the barriers you've been unknowingly placing in your own path.
We’ll cover practical strategies for transforming your mindset around ADHD and money, empowering you to step into a position of control and opportunity.
You'll be better at identifying the sabotaging narratives you tell yourself, and more equipped to make decisions from a place of strength rather than weakness.
Whether it's overcoming your fear of failure, rejection, or just breaking a long-held belief that you “can't” succeed because of your ADHD, this episode will arm you with the tools to stop being a weenie and start running a successful, profitable business.

Let's be honest - for those of us with ADHD, it's not just about setting the goal; it's about remembering it, staying focused, and not getting overwhelmed.
Join me as I unpack strategies to make goal setting not just possible but actually achievable for the ADHD entrepreneur.
In "Goal setting with ADHD? Entirely possible!" we'll talk about why traditional goal-setting methods often fail us and how to flip the script.
I cover how to keep your goals front and center, the importance of having visible reminders, and why big goals often lead to paralysis by analysis.
Plus, I share personal stories, like my own goal (that will hopefully one day see me interview Oprah) and I explain why it’s crucial to break down massive goals into manageable, bite-sized pieces.
We’ll also go into the concept of "now games" versus "long game" goals and how focusing on actionable steps today can set you up for long-term success.
If you’re an ADHD entrepreneur and goal setting feels like trying to climb Everest in flip-flops, this episode is for you.
