ADHD does not look the same in everyone.And if you’re an entrepreneur, it usually shows up long before you ever get a diagnosis.
In this episode, Alyece breaks down how ADHD shows up differently in men and women, why so many women go undiagnosed for years, and how masking, perfectionism, and time blindness shape the way ADHD entrepreneurs run their day.
You’ll hear:
• Why ADHD stereotypes come from outdated ideas
• How female entrepreneurs mask quietly while drowning in executive dysfunction
• How male entrepreneurs get praised for traits that are actually ADHD symptoms
• Why “discipline” and “emotion” get mislabeled based on gender
• How burnout happens for men vs. women
• The truth about impulsivity, follow-through, and emotional regulation
• How to build a business around your ADHD brain instead of fighting it
Alyece also shares her own story of growing up undiagnosed, using extreme structure to survive, and finally understanding why her brain works the way it does.
