Neurodiversity and Entrepreneurship
Being a neurodiverse person can bring on so many different struggles.
Now add being neurodiverse with becoming an entrepreneur, running and growing a business can feel like an uphill climb. Today on the show I am chatting with Kara Laws. She is an entrepreneur who was diagnosed with ADHD later in her career. Her diagnosis has not stopped her from growing a successful business. Now she's taken what she's learned personally about being a person with ADHD and supports others in their careers.
On the show, she shares her experiences as an entrepreneur and a mother with the ups and downs of learning about how our brain works.
Books that Kara suggests:
The Compound Effect (this is the one I couldn't remember) (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0306924633/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1)

Advocating and Understanding

Never underestimate the power of your gut feel. When you have a child who is struggling at school and you feel it as a parent you act. Sometimes the system can say "it's OK they'll catch up", or "don't worry yet, it's early".
Today's podcast is all about this very story. Today I speak with Philipa, she is a mom of two boys living in the UK. She felt early on that one of her children was really struggling but kept being told everything was fine. The Pandemic in 2020 gave her, even more, clarity on the situation when she began to see what a day of schooling was for her children.
This episode explores:
- How to ask questions
- What signs to look for
- How to support your child through hard times
- Supporting your child in understanding their learning
Philipa has taken her own personal life experience and what she has learned from supporting her children and becoming a life coach. She can be found at
