ADHD in Business – How to Work With Your Brain, Not Against It
Did you know entrepreneurs are 3-6 times more likely to have ADHD than the average person?
In this episode, I sit down with Alexandra Powell - architect, construction business owner, university lecturer, and mum.
Three years ago, she got her ADHD diagnosis at 37, and it changed everything.
We talk about:
✖️ Why so many women go undiagnosed for decades (and how masking symptoms becomes second nature)
✖️ The grief of 'lost time' after getting diagnosed with ADHD later in life
✖️ How ADHD can be your biggest business asset - the vision, risk-taking, and creativity that drives growth
✖️ The flip side - distraction, dopamine chasing, and not finishing what you start
✖️ Systems that actually work: hiring finishers when you're a starter, protecting your energy, structure without rigidity
✖️ How hormones amplify ADHD traits (and planning your month around your cycle)
✖️ Why removing social media notifications and rethinking your digital exposure can help your ADHD
✖️ The importance of vulnerability with your team and surrounding yourself with the right support
Throughout the entire episode, Alexandra remains honest and open about the reality of having ADHD as a business owner: "It feels like a firework display is going off in my brain most of the time. And then at the other end of the scale, it can feel completely depleting."
But she's also clear about ADHD being a huge asset if leveraged in the right way. It's about working WITH your brain, not against it.
Whether you have ADHD, suspect you might, or work with someone who does, this conversation will hopefully give you practical tools and a completely different perspective.
