Today, I take you behind the scenes of what it’s really like to run a business while navigating ADHD, PMDD, and burnout.

When I recorded this, I was in a dark place.

Deep in the PMDD spiral where suicidal thoughts felt consuming.

The next day, after my period came early, I feel like a different person. That’s the brutal truth of PMDD: it hijacks your brain, wrecks your energy, and distorts your reality.

I share exactly what I was going through, how ADHD makes it 100x worse, and why we need to talk more openly about this monthly mental health rollercoaster - especially as business owners.

You'll hear how I’m learning to plan my workload around my PMDD cycle, the self-care strategies that have actually helped, and why communication (even when it’s messy) is everything.

If you’ve ever felt like you were falling apart during “that time of the month” or questioned whether you can keep running your business, this episode will make you feel seen.

This one’s real. It’s uncomfortable. But it’s so needed.

This week I’m joined by the incredible Beth Thomas from Unbound Mind Coaching for a raw, relatable conversation about perfectionism, money stories, and what it really takes to love yourself as you are.

We talk about growing up with mixed money messages, the shame that comes from feeling “not good enough,” and the messy middle seasons of business nobody sees on Instagram.

Beth shares powerful insights on internalised ableism, from feeling “not disabled enough” to the quiet ways scarcity mindset seeps into our self-worth, and how acceptance is the first step to changing it.

You’ll hear us cover everything from neurodivergent entrepreneurship, RSD, and people-pleasing, to mobility struggles, personal boundaries, and the pressure to “look” a certain way before putting yourself out there. If you’ve ever felt like you had to be perfect before you could start, this conversation will set you free.

Whether you’re here for the mindset shifts, the money talk, or just to feel less alone in your journey, you’ll walk away knowing you’re already enough – exactly as you are.

“I’m Not Disabled Enough”

“F*** Perfection – I’m Just Me”

“Money, Ableism, and Feeling Good Enough”

“If You Don’t Like Me, Leave”

“Your Worth Isn’t Up for Debate”

I’m diving deep into the content boundaries I live by. What I share, what I won’t share, and why visibility doesn’t have to come at the cost of your privacy.

So many of us feel pressure to overshare online to be “authentic.” But the word “should” can go straight in the f*ck it bucket!

You don’t owe your audience your trauma. You don’t need to crack yourself open just to stay visible. You get to choose what you share and how you show up.

From my own rules around sharing family and personal stories, to how I support communities I’m not part of, this episode is a must-listen if you’ve ever felt torn about what feels right to post.

Inside this episode:

• Why I never talk about my kids’ feelings online
• How to support others without co-opting their stories
• The 4 content pillars I stick to
• My “scar, not wound” policy for vulnerability
• How to balance authenticity with self-protection
