What are ADHD past lives?

ADHD ‘past lives’ refer to the various roles, jobs, and commitments an ADHD person has taken on in their life.

They are reflective of the many changes and transitions we've experienced, often as a result of hyperactivity, impulsivity, and a lack of focus.

The idea of 'past lives' can bring to light the many positive and negative experiences that have shaped an ADHD person’s life!

Challenges we face as ADHD entrepreneurs thanks to our 'past lives'

As entrepreneurs with ADHD, there are often challenges that are unique to our disorder.

These can include difficulty with planning and executing long-term goals, starting and completing projects, and staying organized.

In addition, due to our history of job-hopping and changing commitments, we may find ourselves lacking in the skills and credibility that comes with staying with a job or project for a long period of time.

The unique skills and credibility we have thanks to our 'past lives'

Despite the challenges, there is also great value in our ‘past lives’. Our ability to learn quickly and adapt to change, our wide range of experiences, and our creative problem-solving skills are just a few of our qualities.

This episode that's all about ADHD 'past lives', covers:
  • How we can process our ADHD past lives
  • What the benefits of our ADHD past lives are
  • The next steps in growing from our ADHD past lives

About the Podcast

The Weeniecast - for ADHD entrepreneurs and neurodivergent business owners
I help ADHD entrepreneurs and neurodivergent business owners make more money in less time. And currently, I'm helping some of them get eleven times the value of their investment back.
How do I do it?
I help them understand and leverage their ADHD so they can get it working for them, not against them when it comes to their business strategy.
Do you want to learn specific tools and tricks for overcoming ADHD in YOUR business?
Want coaching on money mindset, sales advice, and general ADHD entrepreneurship, but from the safety and comfort of your own space?
Maybe you're an aspiring entrepreneur who wants to start your own business but feel burdened by your ADHD diagnosis?
If you're wanting to listen to business strategy and money mindset advice that's specifically targeted to business owners like you who have ADHD and other types of neurodiversity, then "The Weeniecast" is the ADHD entrepreneurs podcast for YOU.

I've helped ADHD entrepreneurs like you to scale their revenue towards six figures in months, not years.
It can be done.

ADHD doesn't have to be as big an issue in business as some people think.

With each episode of this podcast, I'll be guiding you further along the path to entrepreneurial success even if you have ADHD.

Each episode we cover various ADHD entrepreneur challenges including:

Leadership skills
Executive dysfunction and ADHD meltdowns
Embracing imperfection
Overcoming rejection sensitive dysphoria
'Shiny object syndrome'
Time management (and why things like pomodoro technique don't work for us)...

If you're an ADHD entrepreneur, then you'll be only too familiar with any of these challenges and how they can impact on your business.

Do YOU allow them to get in the way of your success?

As a CPCC (Certified Professional Co-Active Coach) I know how to help people like you to break through their own limiting self beliefs.

I help them understand their own potential for growing their dream business and making seriously life changing amounts of money.

Having ADHD does not stop you from having a winning business strategy!

Each episode I’ll be sharing stories and insights which will inspire you, as a fellow ADHD person with designs on entrepreneurship to step OUT of the weenie, and IN to the winning life of being a successful ADHD entrepreneur!
