Then this episode is for you!   In this episode of the ADHD Refresh Podcast, I will be sharing 3 HUGE things you can do today to really help you level up so you can feel like a Powerful CEO. The difference between a Made-for-More entrepreneur and a Powerful CEO is their determination– how bad do you really want it? What do you really get out of playing small?   What you’ll find in today’s episode: What 3 things you can do today to help you become a Powerful CEO What it really costs to play small What you are really losing by not taking action   Key takeaways: Life’s reality is this– you will never be inspired and motivated 100% of the time.

“How to create systems for your work life balance when you’ve never done it before? I go with the flow and chaos comes and I handle it. So how do I set up a system for myself to start out?” A question from Deana that we are going to answer in today’s episode!   In this episode of the ADHD Refresh Podcast, we will be talking about how burnout comes from being out of alignment. Many ADHD entrepreneurs struggle with finding the right work-life balance. I’m here to tell you that it is possible to find a place of peace, without the chaos, but you have to find that out for yourself because it may look different for everyone.    What you’ll find in today’s episode: How you can start creating the life you want right now How you can be mindful of your Yes’s and No’s How you can create the feeling of newness in your life   Key takeaways: The best place to start is to be aware of what balance means for you.

The money is going to come. Have fun, and enjoy your life today.   In order to achieve that work-life balance, be mindful of where you give your Yes to. No is a full statement in itself, and it is safe to say No. The happier you are with your life, the happier your clients will be of the service you are providing them.

Dopamine helps you feel good and it is part of our chemical reward system. ADHDers can sometimes struggle with motivation because of a lack of dopamine - which is the reward center of the brain.

The more dopamine you have, the better you feel. The more dopamine, the more rewarding it feels. The more rewarding it is,  the more you want to do something again to give you more of that good feeling.   If you’ve reached this far, then you are well on your way of discovering the power of understanding yourself and being creative to find solutions that work for you.

In today’s episode, we will be answering Katelyn’s question in my DMs, “How do I work on letting go of the fear of walking away from my job to start my dream?”   If you have been having the same dilemma as Katelyn recently, then this episode is for you!   In this episode of the ADHD Refresh Podcast, we will be talking about how fear is an illusion. Fear comes from the part of your brain that is designed to keep you safe. When you find yourself getting into fear - instead of seeing it as something that is holding you back - look at it as a sign. It is a sign that on the other side of the fear - there is growth. You can still start when you are scared!   What you’ll find in today’s episode: How setting your intentions can move mountains  How growth is always on the other side of fear How your business can be the biggest personal development journey if you choose for it to be   Key takeaways: You can create the life of your dreams - make the decision to eat fear for breakfast and lean into the discomfort. If you have moved through fear in the past - you can do it again!   Just imagine what your life would look like in a year if you decided to go all in on yourself and your business. Fear is not there to stop you– it is there to propel you towards the life you desire.
