If consistency feels impossible, if guilt creeps in when you rest, or if business advice never quite seems to fit this episode is for you.

Introduction:

In this special conversation, Jessica sits down with ADHD coach Alannah Aiken to explore how neurodivergent women can build businesses that honour their brains instead of fighting them.

This is about unlearning guilt, rewriting success, and creating supportive structures that work with your cycles and energy.

Introducing Alannah Aiken:

Alannah is an ADHD coach who is on a mission to support people with ADHD to find their new normal, and turn the chaos into clarity. She wears the hat of a coach, mentor and educator, helping individuals with ADHD to understand, support and embrace their ADHD and their unique brains, energy and capacity. Together, let's rewrite the narrative and learn to ditch the shame that can come from a life of undiagnosed ADHD.

Key Takeaways:

  • How masking and internalised hyperactivity show up in adult women with ADHD

  • The shame cycle of comparing yourself to neurotypical productivity standards

  • Why your energy is cyclical—and how to work with it

  • The power of rest, systems, and compassion when you feel like you’re falling behind

  • Letting go of perfectionism to build a business around your real capacity

Reflection Questions:

  • Where am I expecting myself to operate like everyone else?

  • What would shift if I built my business around my cycles and my brain?

  • Where can I release guilt around doing things differently?

If this spoke to you, share your takeaways with Jessica and Alannah on Instagram. Let us know what resonated.

Turning Struggles Into Strength: Your Mentor for Aligned Success

6/3 Mani-Gen | Visionary | Personal Development Obsessed

In 2017, I hit rock bottom. Overworking, unresolved trauma, and self-doubt left me battling anxiety, burnout, and panic attacks daily. Through emotional healing, nervous system regulation, and aligned growth, I rebuilt myself and my business.

Now, as a mentor and alternative therapist with 17+ years of Entrepreneurial experience, I help soul-led women like you:

  • Release emotional and energetic blocks holding you back.

  • Build unshakable confidence and emotional resilience.

  • Create spacious, aligned success that feels deeply fulfilling.

What My Clients Are Saying About Their Transformations.

This experience was far and beyond what I could have expected.

Jess helped my overcome so many personal blocks and experiences triggering anxiety.

Best decision I’ve ever made and I highly recommend Jess. I wish I would have done it sooner.

Kamri H | Entreprenuer

Working with Jess, helped me to peel back so many layers and get to the origin of some of my long held subconscious thoughts and beliefs. Our sessions were powerful, healing and nurturing. Jess had a beautiful way of holding space and getting to the heart and origin of my stories. I can see now how these thoughts and beliefs have held me back in so many ways.

Jo C | Coach and Mentor

Jessica was incredible.

I've searched over the years for someone who could help remove certain blocks and triggers with no success.

In our first session Jess got the root of the subconscious issue so we could begin working on it - freeing me up to show up as the woman I want to in both life AND business.
