ADHD and its links to entrepreneurship When I started researching ADHD and neurodiversity, I had already discovered content and research online which indicated a high level of neurodiversity amongst entrepreneurs. I also thought about it structurally: because of the rigidity of workplaces, it would make sense that neurodivergent people may get pushed out of the workplace and become entrepreneurs in order to have ownership over their environment. These ideas are supported by r

I want to ask coaches something that I think is worth sitting with. If an estimated 15 to 20% of the population is neurodivergent, and the coaching models most of us trained in were built before neurodiversity was even part of the professional conversation, what does that mean for the clients currently sitting in front of us? I am not saying the models are wrong. GROW is a genuinely elegant framework and I use elements of it myself. But it carries assumptions. And when those

This informal CPD article, ‘Is It a Performance Issue or a Neurodivergent Trait? A Guide for Managers‘, was provided by Kim To, founder of Own Your Flair, a coaching and training company supporting neurodivergent individuals and the organisations that work with them. Let me paint you a picture that comes up more than I would like. A manager has a team member who is technically brilliant. They deliver. They are reliable. But they communicate by email rather than picking up the

Three courses for the three audiences who actually shape neurodivergent careers: coaches, managers, and HR. So this is very on-brand for my ADHD brain. I've had these courses sitting in my head for about eight months, just rolling around in there, half-formed. And then in the last three months, somehow, I built all three and got them CPD certified. I think that's how a lot of ADHD work happens, honestly. Slow incubation, then a sprint (whilst waiting for the right inspiration

Dear Dopamine Hope everyone has had a lovely bank holiday. I actually did something new to me, which was spending a lot of time just sleeping, resting and journaling. I've been experiencing a lot of financial insecurity (yey solo founder life) and learning to self-regulate this feeling. It's been interesting since a lot of feelings of being insecure as a child came up, and I had to really figure out how to move through these feelings. I wrote a blog post about processing lat

🛠️ Four Years Ago I Had a Vision... and I Finally Built It Four years ago, I had a vision: AI could make ADHD coaching and neurodiversity support more accessible. Now, with the rise of vibe coding and thanks to Lovable, I've finally been able to bring that vision to life by building tools I've already been using in my coaching practice with clients. I'm so excited to share Flair Toolkit — a collection of practical tools designed to support ADHDers, neurodivergent peopl

For context, I had delivered this keynote talk for PwC (my first employer 10 years ago, I joined PwC as an intern in the summer of 2014 and completed my 2 year graduate training in the consulting part of the business from 2015-2017) as part of a collaboration between DAWN and the South Asian network. I had decided to write this letter to be sent to the more than 130+ people who joined in person and virtually to listen to me speak. Me answering Q&A after my keynote with Sara

Hi everyone 👋 Right, this one has been swirling in my head for a while. Three things I have been sitting with this week: Alysa Liu’s incredible Olympic win, a bit of an identity crisis, and why every company needs a neurodivergent ERG. Bear with me, it all connects. 🥇 Alysa Liu, ADHD & What Her Comeback Taught Me About Burnout When stepping away is actually the bravest thing you can do Have you been watching the 2026 Winter Olympics? I’ll be honest, I don’t usually follow t

It's been five years since I was diagnosed with combined ADHD. I still remember, like it was yesterday, the moment I read the long list of ADHD symptoms and resonated with 90% of them , th e constant boredom, the low moods, the emotional dysregulation, the inattention, the zoning out, and the hyperactivity of not being able to sit still and watch a movie because my brain would be thinking about 10 other things at once. Finally, there was a word that described my experience

Hi everyone 👋Post valentines dopamine high — hope everyone got their share of love! 🌈 Dopamine Dressing Have you heard of dopamine dressing ? It’s a concept I came across and I tried it out yesterday when it was pouring with rain and I had to motivate myself to get out of my flat to go to the gym before visiting my parents home for our Chinese New Year meal. I dressed up, in bright colours (photo below, had to go full red for Chinese new year) and honestly despite the hass

🌥️ January, ADHD & Dopamine (aka: hibernation mode) Pretty happy January blues are over. I think with having ADHD, being super sensitive to changes in environment can have a huge impact on dopamine. Grey skies = low energy, low motivation, high hibernation instinct. For me that looked like staying at home with the heater on, a lot of knitting (hello self-regulation 🧶), and genuinely weighing up the cost–benefit analysis every time I thought about leaving my flat. Now th

After a 7.5-year relationship ended, I found myself thrown into the deep end of modern dating in my late 20s. I’d never used a dating app before. At first, it felt exciting — swipe, dopamine hit, match, compliment. Within seconds I could be planning a date with a stranger. It was all so easy… maybe a bit too easy. What I didn’t realize at the time was that I was using the dating apps as a tool for dopamine and validation. I kept deleting and redownloading them over and over.

As our generation grows up in an increasingly attention-driven society, a perplexing question emerges: Are we all, in some way,...
