Thanks again, @Amber Kay for sharing today. I'm inspired by how well you're doing with your business, thank you for giving us AuDHDers hope! In relation to the anxiety stimming, mine was similar. In the past I would play Subway Surfers on my phone while smoking a cigarette to calm down. My cigarette smoking eventually turned into vaping. Even though I've quit both now, I still carry immense shame and embarrassment for those behaviours. I'd always known I had an oral fixation but never connected it to stimming and anxiety regulation. Thank you for reminding me of this today, and for helping me to process the shame I'd been carrying. Like @Bill Widmer said, we're a group of weirdos bonding together to form a new normal. I'm feeling pretty bonded with you after today's interview! ☺️

Mark your calendars! This Tuesday at 1PM CST, I'll be interviewing @Amber Kay to get the full inside scoop on how she quit her shitty 9-5 to go full-time as an entrepreneur and out-earned her job in the very first month. I posted about Amber's story a few day's ago, and a bunch of you asked for an interview. So we're gonna do it! We'll talk about things like: - How she manages a business while raising 3 kids by herself - How her AuDHD impacts her day-to-day and the systems she created to cope with it - What her experience inside the Focus Founder Accelerator has been like and how it's helped her - And more! Got questions for Amber? Drop them in the comments on this post! We'll also do the interview live, and there will be opportunities for you to ask questions at the end of the interview. Mark your calendars! P.S. How sick is this Avatar-inspired cover photo ChatGPT generated of us doing a podcast together?!

I had to give a shout out to one of our newest Accelerator members, @Amber Kay. Amber is a single mom of three kids. She's been surviving on a low-wage dog training job at a soulless company for the last few years, and something AMAZING happened to her last month: She quit her job and went full-time on her own dog training business. The best part? In her FIRST MONTH on her own as a business owner, she made $1,600 more than she would have working full-time at her job. Without working any harder... While working from home. Probably in her PJs most of the time. (Just a guess 😉) Very few people have inspired me as much as Amber has. She works harder than almost anyone I know, raising three kids on her own while working full-time and planning an exit to run her own company. Most businesses take 2-5 years to start profiting. Amber did it on MONTH ONE. If she can do it, so can you. Thanks for inspiring us, Amber 🙏 Wanna learn about how the Accelerator helped Amber hit this huge success? Drop a comment and like on this post! If we hit at least 50 comments, I'll see if I can convince Amber to do an interview with me on how she pulled off this incredible feat!

Lately it seems I have been wandering through the halls and walls, calling out here and there. Responding in small ways but not truly alive and present like I used to be. My brain has been foggy, my body aches, my spirit is heavy and I took that all on top of some heavy PTSD triggers that come up this time of year, home stress, and a mistake I made and then internalized them all as failure. As character flaws as worthlessness As an inability to be trusted to help others because "how can you stand here promising to help others if you can't even help yourself?!" This is in part due to hormonal changes but it's also heavily due to my ptsd and allowing old voices of other people's ghosts to write a narrative that I adhered to as doctrine.... Why? Because sometimes it seems easier to tuck tail and run away from painful insights rather than do the work to uncover every layer and care for them each so you can heal properly. So I pulled away, I became a Ghost, so to speak. I though I was doing well....i was connecting to my ancestors, starting to work through these layers and then my world came crumbling down around me last night.... I had no choice but to visit every single layer I had been unintentionally and intentionally avoiding looking at...not just the ones I felt ready to face.... But that also is where I realized something in my worth...where a little light is waking back up.... I reached out to @Bill Widmer @Rex Loyer @Sebastian Schroeder ready to give up everything I built and worked for this year and in the time that I have known them..... They reminded me that I am human, that these patterns and emotions are human and normal. Then @Amber Kay DMd me and also spoke some word in the Accelerator program to Bill that really turned that light back on.... I may still be raw and scared...but their words and insights made me realize that having an authority OUTSIDE OF OUR OWN BODY is exactly the care a lot of us need.
