Can being neurodivergent actually help you succeed in entrepreneurship?

In this episode of The Remote CEO Life Podcast, I’m joined by Hannah Whitfield - a creative activist, performer, and host of the No Longer Legally Detained podcast - to talk about what success really means when you’re neurodivergent and building a business.

Hannah shares how her ADHD and autism diagnoses have shaped her journey, how medication and creativity supported her healing, and why self-awareness has been the biggest key to both personal and entrepreneurial growth.

We talk about:

  • What it’s really like to run a business while being neurodivergent
  • Using self-awareness and structure to support mental health
  • Redefining success and purpose through lived experience
  • Peer support, boundaries and embracing your unique brain

If you’ve ever felt like you don’t fit the traditional model of success, this episode will show you how neurodivergence can actually be your superpower in business.
