Maintaining routines can be particularly challenging for those with ADHD or suspected neurodivergence. This episode explores strategies to find your balance when life throws you off course. Hear about the importance of exercise in clearing the mind and the profound emotional impact of a "business divorce." Gina shares her experiences, comparing the emotional toll of ending a professional relationship to that of a personal one, highlighting the intensity and weight these relationships can carry.

Navigating the end of a business partnership requires open communication, legal and financial counsel, and robust support systems. We dive into the practical steps needed during such transitions and the importance of self-care practices like therapy and acupuncture. Learn why it's crucial to allow yourself to feel every emotion rather than suppress them, with the metaphor of the sky letting weather pass serving as a powerful reminder. Join us for an emotional and insightful episode that underscores the importance of support and self-care through challenging times.
