#44 - The Mindset Habits of Highly Energetic People Who Protect Their Energy

If you've ever wondered HOW energetic people get so much energy, this episode explores one possibility you may have NEVER considered before...

#41 - AITA for Saying ADHD People Who Can’t Keep a Job Should Try Self-Employment?

Someone said it’s “irresponsible” to encourage ADHD people who can't keep a job to start a business instead… 😳 So naturally, I had to ask myself: AM I THE ASSHOLE? 💩😂 As a late-diagnosed ADHD goth-witch entrepreneur who has been successfully self-employed for over 9 years, I believe the exact OPPOSITE might be true. So in this episode of the Hexotica Podcast, I’m talking about why self-employment can actually be an AMAZING fit for ADHD people who can't keep a job, struggle in traditional workplaces, or feel like total failures because they can’t force themselves into boring 9-to-5 jobs that drain the soul. I share why I believe: 🪄 ADHD people who can't keep a job are NOT failures. Many jobs simply aren’t designed for novelty-seeking, highly creative brains! 🪄 Why passion, hyperfocus, and self-awareness can become powerful entrepreneurial advantages (when channelled correctly!) 🪄 You do not need to feel “fully capable” before starting a business. You only need enough self-trust to begin! If you are an ADHD creative who dreams of freedom, flexibility, self-employment, or finally creating a life that actually FITS your brain… then you don't want to miss this episode! ✨ Additional Things Mentioned In This Episode: 🪄Join ‘The Inner Sanctum’ weekly newsletter to receive new podcast episodes + learn more about the S.W.A.N.
