In a world that has long demanded conformity, the conversation around neurodivergence is finally shifting. We are moving away from hiding our "quirks" and toward a space where being "crazy and fun" is celebrated. On a recent episode of the Overgivers Anonymous podcast, host Angela Mandor (the "Geeky Girl") sat down with Sarah Snyder, a former journalist and the voice behind the Adulting with ADHD podcast. Their conversation dives deep into the realities of running a business and a podcast while navigating the unique challenges of an ADHD brain. For many neurodivergent entrepreneurs, the journey isn't just about spreadsheets and strategy; it’s about managing energy, protecting vulnerability, and finding a way to stay consistent when the initial "spark" of a project begins to fade. Whether you are a business owner with ADHD or someone looking to understand the neurodivergent experience better, this discussion offers a raw look at what it takes to show up authentically in a neurotypical world. The ADHD Novelty Cycle in Podcasting One of the most common traits of the ADHD brain is the love for novelty. When a new project starts—like launching a podcast—the "shininess" of the task provides a natural dopamine hit that keeps you engaged. However, as Sarah points out, that novelty eventually wears off, even if you truly love what you’re doing. Sarah describes this as the "sweet spot" of podcasting: staying engaged enough to avoid distraction, but having a backup plan for the days when the motivation isn't there. To combat the inevitable "lull" in excitement, she emphasizes the importance of core habits and deliverables. By establishing a baseline of quality, you ensure that even on your "off" days, you are providing consistent value to your audience. This allows you to go "extra" when you have the energy, without the pressure of having to maintain that peak intensity 24/7. The Bravery of Being Unfiltered Being a public figure with ADHD requires a specific kind of bravery. Sarah reflects on her early days of podcasting, where she was "raw and unfiltered." At the time, she took that authenticity for granted, feeling safe within her online bubble of supportive, like-minded individuals. However, as her platform grew, she realized that not all spaces are as welcoming as the neurodivergent community. This realization led to a "bout of anxiety" and a moment of reflection. "There is a bravery to exist openly that you can’t take for granted, and we have to protect it," Sarah notes. For many neurodivergent people, being "real" isn't a choice or a marketing tactic—it’s the only way they know how to exist. While others may see this as a gift, for the person living it, that level of vulnerability can feel exposed and overwhelming. Angela echoes this sentiment, noting the "weird role reversal" that happens when you spend most of your time in neurodivergent circles. When you finally step back into a "typical" or corporate environment, the rigidity of others can feel confusing. The challenge for the ADHD entrepreneur is to harness that authenticity as a strength while setting boundaries to protect their emotional well-being. Navigating High Empathy: The Circle of Control A significant part of the neurodivergent experience—especially for those with ADHD or autism—is a high level of empathy and a deep sense of "justice sensitivity." This can make the world feel incredibly heavy, particularly when we are bombarded with news of global struggles or local injustices. To help manage this emotional weight, Angela introduces a powerful framework: The Circle of Control. This tool is designed to help high-empathy individuals stay functional without becoming consumed by things they cannot change. The framework consists of three layers: The Circle of Control: This is the inner circle. it includes the things you have direct power over—your actions, your words, your business decisions, and your self-care.
