Now, hold on—before you let out an exasperated sigh—this episode isn't about the mundane. We're not chasing after shiny productivity hacks. Instead, we're slowing down to speed up. You heard me. It sounds counterintuitive, I know, but that's the magic I'm unpacking today. Personal anecdotes and practical experiments have shown me that some of the simplest changes in our daily habits can have the most profound impacts when it comes to firing up that creative brain of ours and leading a business that's as healthy as we are.I've always pushed back against the term ‘self-care,’ and in this conversation, I'm inviting you to do the same.

I dig into why that is and how we can make it a habit. And I'm not just talking about enjoying the breezy outdoors—I'm getting into the science of it all: why our ADHD brains function the way they do, and how we can leverage that knowledge for our benefit. From eating a breakfast that balances protein and carbs to sharing the surprising benefits of a good workout or meditative moment, I'm outlining the building blocks for sustainable energy levels that translate to business success.But what you'll really take away post-listen is not just a bunch of knowledge nuggets—you'll be empowered to make these energy tools work for your entrepreneurial life. I promise, you'll see how the mundane can be extraordinary. We talk about how to turn your dog walk into a powerhouse for business planning and how to let a workout beat the stress out of your system so your creativity can kick back in. And it's not just about the to-dos and lists; I'm giving you permission to pace yourself for premium output. It might even lead you to fall back in love with the work that you do, and that's a beautiful thing. We're flipping the script here, moving from frenzied to focused, so that when you do sit down to work, you're coming at it with all cylinders firing—your mind is sharp, calm, and oh-so-ready!Timestamped Summary:00:00 Prioritize daily habits for increased energy.03:46 Prioritizing, clearing mind, and alleviating stress outdoors.08:04 Fear blocks creativity, prioritize wellness for productivity.11:50 Exercise helps focus, no gym required.14:22 Guided meditation trains the nervous system safely.19:02 Slow down, prioritize wellness, increase creativity, productivity.Your next steps after listening Realizing it's time to work with me?

Do you suffer from frustration intolerance? If you're an ADHD entrepreneur, you probably do. In this episode we're talking all about this issue (which I have a different name for) and helping you get equipped so you know exactly how to handle it, and make more progress in your business.Hi! I'm Katie McManus, ADHD entrepreneur business strategist and money mindset coach.And welcome to "The Weeniecast."The Significance of Frustration Tolerance in ADHD and CoachabilityFrustration tolerance can have a massive influence on individuals with ADHD, and their ability to absorb coaching. In the episode I emphasize the importance of managing emotional dysregulation, which is crucial for personal and professional progress. You'll understand why this is a priority for tackling once you've heard the full episode but let's just say that this element of emotional intelligence plays a pivotal role in shaping your learning behaviors and relationships as an ADHD entrepreneur. Also, your childhood responses can play a part. These are learned and amplified by educational systems which favor ease over challenge, can sculpt an individual’s lifelong self-assessment and their tenacity when facing adversity.Persistent Growth from Persistent ChallengesI'm going to take you through some stories that showcase the necessity of frustration as a catalyst in the growth journey. These stories are tailored to reinforce the notion that the process of learning inherently includes facing and overcoming difficulties. The good news is, perseverance and adaptability are skills that can be honed, and they're not just innate characteristics. Oh, and you'll definitely understand why Leonardo da Vinci offers a lot of learning for us ADHD entrepreneurs, when we study his approach to frustration intolerance.Timestamped summary00:00 Identifying fake business gurus.05:22 Golf skills don't guarantee coaching ability.09:05 Being pressured into uncertain financial decisions is wrong.12:28 Results not guaranteed, so seek professional financial advice.15:21 Ensure client testimonials are documented for credibility!18:55 Video testimonials help show who clients really are.22:08 Guard against impulsivity in decision-making, especially purchases.Prefer to watch?

This episode was all about tearing apart why those one-size-fits-all business plans are a big fat nope for us folks who struggle with impulse control and can't seem to stay focused if our lives depended on it.Success, ADHD-Style: Crafting Your Own Damn Rulebook!I've watched way too many brilliant ADHD peeps get totally bummed out by stiff structures and strategies that might as well be straightjackets. We're talking about battling the whole shebang - from the hell of time management to chasing every shiny thing that catches our eye. Personalization isn't just some nice-to-have; it's freakin' essential for us ADHD entrepreneurs. Screw trying to squish our brains into neurotypical boxes! ADHD Business Coaching: Because Normal is BoringWe need custom strategies – ones that weave the wild tapestries of our lives right into our business models. We gotta look at the big picture – our income goals, our dream lifestyles, our sporadic strokes of genius, and yeah, the faceplants we're bound to take – to create a business environment where we can thrive and be our vibrant, zany selves.Snagging Quick Wins & Building a Biz That Fits YOUI'll be talking through my process and sharing some kick-ass stories of clients who didn't just hit their goals; they blew them out of the water, finding financial success while juggling the ADHD chaos.

'Noping' New Year's Resolutions: The ADHD Entrepreneur's Guide to Lasting Change!In the latest episode of The Weeniecast, I delve into the common misconception of "New Year, New You," debunking the notion that the turning of the calendar will inherently bring about personal change. Hi! I'm Katie McManus, ADHD entrepreneur business strategist and money mindset coach.And I'm here to explore the pitfalls of conventional New Year’s resolutions and emphasize the necessity of creating tangible, lasting changes to facilitate goal attainment. I discuss the value of setting a word or intention for the year and stress the need for physical representations and consistent reminders to maintain focus.Embracing Intentions and Creating DisciplineAs I share personal experiences and insights, I highlight the significance of making structural changes in one's life to accommodate personal aspirations. From the impact of sleep on mental health and productivity to the importance of seeking guidance when venturing into uncharted territory, I encourage listeners to prioritize rest and learn from experts to achieve ambitious objectives. Setting intentions and making room for new pursuits in one's schedule are key to realizing our goals.Balancing Realistic Expectations with Action PlansAdvising against goal-setting centered solely on results, I draw from examples like Jim Carrey to underscore the importance of aligning goals with actionable steps. Emphasizing the need for flexibility and adaptability in goal pursuit, I share insights on how to approach goals within the framework of attainable actions. I urge individuals to commit to making time and energy available for achieving their goals while seeking professional support when necessary.Your next steps after listening Wanna get this content earlier, and totally unbleeped?
