This week Monique chats with Dr Hayley Kelly about entrepreneurship. Hayley is a clinical psychologist, CEO, and Founder of Therapists Rising. Her goal is to transform the mental health landscape by helping therapists build sustainable and impactful businesses. Diagnosed with Autism and ADHD later in life, she brings a unique, neuroaffirming approach to entrepreneurship, inspiring mental health professionals to embrace innovation, creativity, and resilience in their practices.   This episode is jammed with incredible insights on how to leverage your neurodivergent strengths as a business owner – it’s a must listen for any ND folks thinking of launching themselves into the world of entrepreneurship and business ownership (or for those who are there already!).   In this episode Monique and Hayley cover:   Hayley’s conceptualisation of neurodivergence and the identity shifts she experienced through late diagnosis. How Hayley’s knowledge of her own neurodivergence helped her to understand the past challenges as well as the strengths she’d experienced in the workforce over her career. Her path to entrepreneurship and finding her ‘zone of genius’. The strengths of ADHD in entrepreneurship and business ownership. Strategies for managing rejection sensitivity and feeling like an imposter in this space. Strengths of the Autistic brain, and the AuDHD brain, in entrepreneurship and business ownership. Hayley’s tips for neurodivergent folk working in (or moving toward) this space.   You can find Hayley through her website, Therapists Rising, or on Instagram @dr.hayleykelly.   Want polished copies of our episodes in beautiful and readable pdf article format?
