    Building a Business That Works With Your Brain: with Adina Levy

    In this episode of OT's Figuring It Out, Cheri is joined by Adina Levy- AuDHDer, speech therapist, educator, business coach, and founder of Differently Aligned Business Coaching and Play. Learn. Chat. Together, they explore what it really means to build a business that supports your energy, strengths, and neurodivergent brain. From challenging the endless business "shoulds" to preventing burnout, creating systems that actually work, and using AI and automation to lighten the admin load, this conversation is packed with practical strategies for therapists in private practice—or anyone dreaming of starting their own business. Whether you're neurodivergent or neurotypical, you'll leave with fresh ideas, reassurance that there's no one "right" way to run a business, and permission to experiment until you find what works for you. Grab Adina's free AI Admin Audit: a 10-minute guided chat to find what to fix first in your business admin, with AI prompts to action it. https://differentlyaligned.com/ai-admin-audit/?utm_source=podcast&utm_medium=shownotes&utm_campaign=ai-admin-audit&utm_content=otfio Connect With Adina: Her Website: https://playlearnchat.com/about/ Socials: https://www.instagram.com/play.learn.chat/ Be sure to follow us on instagram @ots_figuringitout This podcast is brought to you by Charge Your Mind Program, WonderGlowOT and Joyful Journey OT.
