Pour yourself a coffee and settle in for this incredibly honest conversation with Sophie, where we dive deep into her ADHD diagnosis journey, how she's built a business that actually works WITH her brain rather than against it, and why being bold enough to repel the wrong clients has transformed everything. If you've ever wondered how to create structure while maintaining the freedom to pivot, or how to build a team that supports your unique way of working, this episode is exactly what you need.
