The Confidence to Run a Successful Business with ADHD with Emma Cossey

EPISODE 65: The Confidence to Run a Successful Business with ADHD

Meet Emma Cossey, a coach for freelancers with over 12 years of freelancing experience under her belt. She's a huge fan of tech, apps and automations to make life easier, faster and more fun (especially as someone who has recently been diagnosed with ADHD). Emma's also the host of The Freelancer’s Teabreak Podcast where you’ll find episodes full of tips, news and discussion for freelancers.

During this interview we discuss:

• Why Emma decided to become a freelancer and how her business has evolved over the past 12 years
• The symptoms and patterns that led to Emma seeking an ADHD diagnosis
• The process Emma went through to receive an ADHD diagnosis
• How ADHD impacts the way Emma runs her business and how she manages her symptoms so she can still achieve success
• Why neurotypical advice doesn’t work for people with ADHD
• Why consistency doesn't work for our neuro-divergent brains
• The importance of making peace with being messy and unpolished
• The power of reframing messiness into meaning something is fun
• Why perfectionism is your brain's way of preventing you from being rejected

You can find Emma on Instagram, hanging out in her Facebook group, on her website or listen to her podcast The Freelancer's Teabreak.
