On the show this week I brought in Alex Gilbert [http://www.capeableconsulting.com] to chat all about all things ADHD, specifically as an entrepreneur. Alex Gilbert is a New Yorker, a mom, a Mets fan, a yogi, and a brunch enthusiast. She also has dyslexia and ADHD. After spending her career working in leadership development, she decided to start a consulting and coaching business that will help adults with learning disabilities and/or ADHD like herself who have been struggling in their careers. Her business, Cape-Able Consulting [http://www.capeableconsulting.com], was created to help them navigate their day-to-day workloads so that they feel supported and are able to reach their highest potential. Her biggest goal in creating Cape-Able Consulting is to change the stigma surrounding learning disabilities/ ADHD by reminding people what they Cape-able of. In this episode, we dive into: How a lack of ADHD resources for adults led her to launch her consulting business. The first steps you can begin to take to get diagnosed and why it can be difficult for women and POC to get a proper diagnosis. How she schedules her day as an entrepreneur with ADHD and how she leans more into what she is good at and outsources the rest. Her advice for better working with someone on your team who may have ADHD.

My earliest memory of first learning about a "period" was in the 5th grade when our teachers put the girls and boys into separate rooms and they had us watch a movie on VHS about a girl starting her period for the first time. We were then handed a small bag that included a pad and a pamphlet then sent home. That was it. It took me YEARS, a terrible menstrual cycle, a few quacky doctors, and a lot of research to learn just how much our periods affect our daily lives. From the way we plan )or not plan) for a family, to the conversations we have, and yes, to even how we run our business. That's why this week I am so incredibly excited to share with you the conversation I had with Berrion Berry! Berrion (pronounced berry-on) Berry is a Women’s Health Coach, Fertility Awareness Educator, & founder of Optimize Your Flo. Her work educates, equips, and empowers modern girls and women to embrace their hormonal nature through understanding their bodies and simplifying their wellness routine. Her expertise has been showcased in MSNBC’s Film Periodical and even on some of your favorite platforms like 21Ninety, xoNecole, Balanced Black Girl, The Every Girl and many more. From menarche to menopause, Berrion covers it all and is dedicated to helping women achieve optimal health in every phase. We cover so much in this episode! Berrion breaks down the different phases of the menstrual cycle, what to eat and how to work during each phase, how we can begin normalizing the conversation around periods, and so much more! | KEEP UP WITH BARRION Check out her website [https://berrionlberry.com/], follow her on Instagram [https://www.instagram.com/berrionlberry/?hl=en] and TikTok [https://www.tiktok.com/@berrionlberry], and listen to her podcast!

Autumn, a powerhouse NYC native, wears many hats. She's a non-profit founder, wife, mom, and successful entrepreneur, leading a digital marketing and design agency and several franchise ventures in Atlanta. But her true passion lies in advocating for maternal mental health, particularly for women of color. Driven by her own experiences with PMDD, anxiety, and depression, Autumn has become a vocal champion of moms juggling mental health and motherhood over the past six years. She uses her platform – blogs, podcasts, panels, and workshops – to share her struggles and advocate for change. Autumn's mission is to raise awareness, influence policy, and foster a supportive community for mothers of color facing mental health challenges. She believes open conversations and a shift in societal views are crucial to empower these women. In this week's episode, I chat with Autumn about her experience getting diagnosed with PMDD, how she manages it daily, and how it has affected her life as a mom and entrepreneur. | MORE RESOURCES ABOUT PMDD What is PMDD?
