888: ADHD Built My Business (But It Also Broke Some Things)

When I shared a carousel on Instagram titled “10 ‘Normal’ Things I Didn’t Know Were ADHD,” I had no idea it would resonate so deeply. Thousands of women flooded the comments with messages like, “I’ve never felt so seen,” and “Are you living in my brain?” and honestly, I felt the same way. That post didn’t come from research or theory; it was my lived experience.

This summer, I am not focused on launching something new. I am focused on building something essential: playbooks.

And my friend Stacy Tuschl challenged us to not just build playbooks, but to test them. That hit hard! The truth is, I learned this lesson the hard way. One of my team membe...
