The ADHD podcast for founders, freelancers, and creative minds redefining success.
Hosted by Tania Gerard, Founder of Tania Gerard Digital UK, and Kate Whitley, Founder of Brainwaves and Blueprints, this show dives into the real experiences of neurodivergent entrepreneurs, from late-night ideas and hyperfocus highs to burnout, balance, and everything in between.
Through honest stories, laughter, and lived experience, ADHD Founders Unfiltered explores what it takes to build a business with an ADHD brain and gives you permission to do it your way.
Episode 71: ADHD & The Science Behind Shiny Object Syndrome
In this episode of ADHD Founders Unfiltered, Tania and Kate tackle one of the most common (and sometimes exhausting) traits of the ADHD entrepreneurial brain: Shiny Object Syndrome.
We’ve all been there, that electric surge of excitement for a new project, a fresh software tool, or a "pivotal" business idea that hits at 2 AM.
But why does our interest skyrocket so fast, only to plummet just as quickly?
Today, we’re looking past the distraction and diving into the actual brain chemistry that makes "the new" feel so addictive.
If you’ve ever felt like a "jack of all trades, master of none," or if your desktop is a graveyard of bookmarked ideas, this episode is your guide to understanding your brain and regained focus.

Episode 70: ADHD & The Value of Rest
Tania and Kate sit down for a raw and relatable conversation about a topic that hits home for many founders and neurodivergent thinkers: The ADHD Burnout Cycle.
When your brain is wired for "go, go, go," resting can feel like a failure. But as we’ve learned the hard hard way, rest isn't a luxury, it’s a biological necessity for the ADHD brain to function. We’re stripping back the "hustle culture" labels and talking about why traditional relaxation often doesn't work for us, and what actually does.
In this deep dive, we discuss:
The ADHD Burnout Trap: Why we often don’t realise we’re hitting a wall until we’ve already crashed.
Redefining Rest: Moving beyond "sitting still" to find what actually recharges a hyperactive or overstimulated mind.
The Guilt Factor: How to handle the "productivity guilt" that creeps in the moment we try to slow down.
Practical Tips: Our personal strategies for managing energy, setting boundaries, and building a "rest toolkit."
Sensory Regulation: The link between our environment, our ADHD, and our ability to recover.
Whether you’re a founder feeling the edge of burnout or someone looking to understand their neurodivergent brain a little better, this episode is a permission slip to stop, breathe, and recalibrate.

In this episode of ADHDFU, we sit down with Kerry, widely known as The Sleep Fixer. If you’ve ever struggled with burnout, late-night tossing and turning, or the pressure to "just sleep better," this conversation is for you.
Since 2011, Kerry has been a dedicated sleep coach and CBT-I (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia) specialist. She has helped thousands of adults and families move away from the struggle and back toward calm, natural rest.
What we discuss in this episode:
The Science of Rest: Kerry’s compassionate approach to understanding your body’s natural rhythms.
Removing the Pressure: Why "forcing" sleep never works and how to rebuild a confident relationship with the pillow.
A Decade of Insights: Lessons learned from over 10 years of coaching people through their most exhausted moments.
Personalized Recovery: Why there is no "one size fits all" when it comes to rediscovering your calm.
