ADHD Entrepreneurs: From Survival Mode to Sustainable Profit

ADHD entrepreneurs struggle with more than productivity hacks––they fight survival mode. In this conversation with Esther Bangura (Boss of My Money), we explore how ADHD, nervous system regulation, emotional safety, and money management intersect inside a business.

If you constantly feel behind, if your business depends on last-minute pushes, or if your nervous system never fully relaxes, this episode opens a radically different path. Instead of trying to "fix" ADHD with willpower, we talk about building a sustainable business by supporting the nervous system first, protecting your energy, and designing a simple business model that actually works with the way your brain works.

We also go deep into:

• survival mode entrepreneurship
• emotional spending
• money leaks and subscriptions
• building safety before strategy
• eliminating burnout cycles
• ADHD decision-making
• financial dysregulation
• minimal viable business structure
• nervous-system-aligned growth
• hypnotherapy for entrepreneurs
• rest without guilt
• impulsive spending patterns
• sustainable profit instead of push and collapse

Esther shares her personal journey managing ADHD, money habits, and identity while building a business from the ground up. Together, we explore what it takes to run a profitable business without performance mode, burnout, or constant "fixing yourself."

If you've felt like traditional business advice was built for a different type of brain, or if your nervous system feels like it runs your business instead of you, this episode has the conversations most entrepreneurs aren't having yet.
