I bring back two fantastic guests in today's episode: Rachel Harris and Jodie Hill. Both are trailblazing women in their respective industries, paving the way for more neurodivergent women to ask for what they need and create strong scaffolding to support them from burnout while also satiating their inner drive, ambition and big dreams.

We discuss recognizing and harnessing our ADHD preferences in our careers so we can bring our A-game to our purpose-driven careers without feeling exhausted and depleted by our brains.

Both Rachel and Jodie are inspiring female entrepreneurs, teaching us to harness our authentic selves to succeed in our careers alongside our ADHD.

Firstly, who knew talking about financial wellbeing and accounting could be this fascinating and inspiring? When you hear this episode, you'll see why I'm so giddy about it!

This week's first guest on The ADHD Women's Wellbeing Podcast is Rachel Harris. Rachel is disrupting what it means to be an accountant, a business owner and an employer in 2023. She is a TEDx speaker, content creator, author, business owner and, most importantly... an accountant! She is passionate about free financial education for everyone.

During this week's podcast episode, we spoke about:

Rachel being profoundly deaf and how she became so successful despite this challenge
Communication preferences in business
Financial fears
Asking clients what they need
Breaking down barriers of fear
The trauma of not understanding money or accounts
Asking for help without shame

Rachel has also generously shared two free resources with the listeners—her 'Accounting 101' video, which you can access here, and her 'Financial Wellbeing' video, which you can watch now by clicking here.

Running a business your way after an ADHD diagnosis...

I'm excited to introduce another true trailblazer in the law industry, an inspiring D&I advocate, mentor and successful businesswoman, Jodie Hill. Following her breakdown (which she now refers to as her breakthrough!), Jodie decided to set up her unique employment law firm, Thrive Law, where her values around mental health and diversity & inclusion would be the foundations of the firm and are embodied in everything she does.

Jodie is passionate about creating an environment where both she and her team can Thrive. Her mission is to educate and empower employers to create their own thriving cultures. You can buy Jodie's Thriving at Life journal here.
