🎧 The ADHD Entrepreneu(Her) is the podcast for driven female founders with late-diagnosed ADHD, AuDHD, or a neurodivergent brain who refuse to play by the f*****g rules. Hosted by Karrie Lemansky, the Chief Weirdo of Karrie Out Loud, Business Growth Strategist with 27+ years of business experience, life coach, and Self-Trust Whisperer. This podcast exists so you know you are not alone. Every episode delivers Karrie's vibe: Big sister energy + the Frying Pan of Love (tough love with a lot of heart behind it). Karrie talks about what it actually takes to build a calm-ass business while staying a feral woman with a technicolor, novelty-based brain — a business that fits your brain, hands you back your time, and holds up for the long haul. Listen for:  → Real business growth strategy for neurodivergent entrepreneurs → Self-trust rebuilding (closing the Self-Trust Gap because it is NOT imposter syndrome) → Ruthless simplification, aka a neurodivergent-brain-friendly business that works for YOUR brain → Zero shaming. Zero judging. Zero one-size-fits-all. Zero Normie BS. If you know your brain does not run on neurotypical software, you're in the right place. Origin story: Karrie was diagnosed with ADHD in midlife, and it shifted every area of her life, including her business. At first the diagnosis became her whole identity, because for the first time she had language for why everything felt harder than it should, plus a community that actually saw her.  Then she evolved: she learned to love her big fat beautiful technicolor brain AND know it's the least interesting thing about her. Now she filters decades of experience through a neurodivergent lens so her clients can close their Self-Trust Gap, stop mistaking busy for successful, and build a business that makes more money and gives them their time back WITHOUT refilling that white space with more work. She's the actualized outcome of who her clients want to become: a feral woman running a calm-ass business. From Karrie: Hey, y'all!! Hit subscribe. Listen every Wednesday. Welcome to my cult. We have stickers.

    Lindsay Gronos on Ten Years of Oak and Ember Collective | Women Out Loud: A Coffee Chat Series | Business Coach Late-Diagnosed ADHD | Ep. 206

    Send us Fan Mail FREE QUIZ! Where does chaos live in your brain + business? Find out in less than 10 minutes >> CLICK THIS   🎧 The ADHD Entrepreneu(Her) is THE podcast for female founders with late-diagnosed ADHD in midlife and peri/menopause may also be intersecting. You've come to the right place. Stay.  This week I'm sitting down with Lindsay Gronos, the photographer and creative behind Oak & Ember Collective. Her images are editorial, story-driven, and honestly kind of magic, and her path there was NOT a straight line.  We're talking hotel housekeeping to running her own cleaning company to a Disney internship she was positive was a scam email... that's the short list.  We get into the nitty gritty of longer term entrepreneurship, the "should I just quit and move back to corporate" days, and why networking hits completely different (in the best way possible) when you're a neurodivergent business owner surrounded by people who actually get how your brain works.  This one is for you if you've been in business long enough to know the wins are real AND the doubt still shows up some days. 🦄 She almost walked away more than once. What made her stay is the part everyone needs to hear.  🐆 The unexpected career move at 29 that changed absolutely everything. It has to do with a mouse.   🌶 Why "networking" is the most undervalued growth strategy for neurodivergent business owners.  🐆 The financial risk she took that could have gone very wrong and the outcome.   🦄 The wins, the bliss, the harder parts to manage. We leave nothing out.  Go find Lindsay and her work here:  Instagram or Facebook - @Oakandembercollective Email: oakandembercollectivend@outlook.com Ready to chat with me about YOUR business?

    Two Female Founders Get Real About Self Trust, Burnout, and Building Differently - Coffee Talk with Emily Mathis of Emily Mathis Co. - Part 2 of 2 | Late-Diagnosed ADHD Burnout | Ep. 205

Find out in less than 10 minutes >> CLICK THIS 🦄  This is The ADHD Entrepreneu(Her): the only podcast built exclusively for female founders with late-diagnosed ADHD in midlife and peri/menopause who refuse to play by the f*****g rules. Emily Mathis was worried that her 20-minute application video would be a turn off (since they asked for 3-5 minutes, but she took her shot. It went well).   This week Karrie sits down with Emily, an operations strategist and self-described second brain for founders whose ideas move faster than their mouths, for a conversation about proof of concept versus blind faith.  They get into why your brain starts running expertise like a zip file, compressing the thing you're best at until you can't explain how you do it anymore, and why that compression is exactly why you're underpricing.  This is for every woman in business who has ever needed evidence before she'd trust herself. What would you actually charge if you stopped assuming everyone already knows what you know? 🐆 The exact moment self-trust locks in, and how you'll know it happened 🐆 Why the skill that comes easiest to you is the one you're underpricing 🐆 The real difference between a business friend and a client, and why you need both in your corner 🐆 The Ferrari brain moment when two people with the same wiring finally stop censoring themselves around each other 🐆 The one thing nobody teaches late-diagnosed ADHD women that has nothing to do with your offer suite DM Karrie the magic word "CHAT" on Instagram to keep this conversation going: 👉 @karrieoutloud Stay feral (keeping footer for older episodes!)  Book my World Famous 90-minute Deep Dive here 👉https://www.karrieoutloud.com/slingshot  Got 60 seconds?
