If you’ve ever felt like your brain is running 10 jobs at once but not finishing any of them, you’re not alone.
And you’re not lazy. You might just be living with ADHD.

In episode, Nic sits down with Skye Waterson from Unconventional Organisation, an ADHD business coach who helps tradies and entrepreneurs turn the chaos into clarity.

Skye was diagnosed with ADHD during her PhD. Since then, she’s made it her mission to help business owners understand how their brain works and how to build systems that actually support that.

In this episode, Skye shares:

The everyday signs of ADHD (even if you haven’t been diagnosed)
Why typical advice like “just get started” doesn’t work for neurodiverse brains
How to build routines, communication, and team systems that actually stick

This isn’t just for those with a diagnosis. Whether you’re on the path, suspect your partner or team might be affected, or just feel overwhelmed by your own thoughts, this conversation can help.

ADHD isn’t a weakness. But trying to run a business with the wrong tools? That’s a recipe for burnout.
