Put your cape on byotch, we’re goin’ hustlin’.
Okay, I’m not Regina George. I’m more of a Ms. Norbury. The one person who tries to help others and occasionally pisses people off.
And this might be the moment you report me as a fake drug dealer, because you aren’t going to like what I have to say…
Your ADHD might feel like a curse most days, and that’s totally normal.
It’s a disability, after all.
I won’t repeat it for those who don’t go here—this trust fall is between you and me. As a lifelong thriver with ADHD, I’ve learned there are so many ways a small business owner can thrive with ADHD. Here are some ways:

Create a self-care routine
Don’t be a fugly byotch—creating even a simple routine can help your brain slow down and focus on the simple things.
Find a rhythm
Don’t be a Cady and try to fit in with the neurotypicals. No one says you HAVE to brush your teeth in the morning…1pm will work just as well. Promise.
Stop trying to make ‘normal’ happen
When you come to terms with the fact you can’t “fix” your brain to be like everyone else, the sooner you can dive into resources and self-care that makes it feel survivable.
You aren’t almost too broken to function
While a diagnosis and meds can help, try some supplements like Magnesium, Vitamin D, and Potassium. I’m no doctor, but I know they helped my brain chill.
