How to Reignite Your Passion for Your Business

Published on: 15th June, 2021

Today I am joined by Nicole Lewis-Keeber, who is a therapist, coach, consultant, speaker, certified Daring Way and Dare to Lead facilitator, and author of a brand new book we are going to talk about in detail. 

She has developed a fascinating body of work around the intersection of trauma and entrepreneurship and as a business therapist, Nicole is on a mission to helps entrepreneurs create a trauma-free business, where their inner kiddo becomes a true CEO.  

Nicole’s new book is called “How to Love Your Business.” The subtitle really says it all, Stop Recreating Trauma and Have a Business You Love- And That Loves You Back.  

I bought the book the day it was released, devoured it and wrote down all my questions, in anticipation of this interview.  

We do a deep dive into several areas of the book I found most fascinating:

  • Trauma and boundaries 
  • How to Love Your Inner Critic
  • Emotional Sustainability Plan 

Common Manifestations of the Inner Critic:

The Worrier

The Insecure Bluffer

The Annihilator

Key takeaway:  Your inner critic is your protector, not a bully

Taming Shiny Object Syndrome in Your Business

Our edge as entrepreneurs comes from spotting trends and launching fresh ideas. The problem? Most of us have a graveyard of half-baked projects, forgotten launches, half-written newsletters, and more orphaned tech tools than we care to admit. Let's face it: innovation is our ADHD advantage, but execution moves the...

About the Podcast

ADHD-ish
For Business Owners with Busy Brains
ADHD-ish is THE podcast for business owners who are driven and distracted, whether you have an “official” ADHD diagnosis or not. If you identify as an entrepreneur, small business owner, creative, independent professional, or freelancer, and you color outside the lines and think outside the box, this podcast is for you.

People with ADHD traits are far more likely to start a business because we love novelty and autonomy. But running a business can be lonely and exhausting. Having so many brilliant ideas means dozens of projects you’ve started and offers you’ve brainstormed, but few you’ve actually launched. Choosing what to say "yes" to and what to "catch and release" is even harder. This is exactly why I created ADHD-ish.

Each episode offers practical strategies, personal stories, and expert insights to help you harness your active mind and turn potential distractions into business success. From productivity tools to mindset shifts, you’ll learn how to do business your way by
embracing your neurodivergent edge and turning your passion and purpose into profit.

If we haven't met, I'm your host, Diann Wingert, a psychotherapist-turned-business coach and serial business owner, who struggled for years with cookie-cutter advice meant for “normies” and superficial ADHD hacks that didn’t go the distance. In ADHD-ish, I’m sharing the best of what I’ve learned from running my businesses and working with coaching clients who are like-minded and like-brained.

Note: ADHD-ish does have an explicit rating, not because of an abundance of “F-bombs” but because I embrace creative self-expression for my guests and myself. So, grab those headphones if you have littles around, and don’t forget to hit Follow/Subscribe so you don’t miss a single episode.
