Many neurodivergent entrepreneurs feel pressured to scale, hire teams, or chase seven-figure dreams—but that’s not the only path to success. In this conversation with Maggie Patterson, host of the ADHD-ish Podcast explores why staying solo can be the ultimate form of freedom and self-care. Maggie shares how designing a business around your actual life, capacity, and values can protect your energy, reduce stress, and create a more sustainable future. By challenging the hustle culture and rejecting one-size-fits-all business models, she empowers entrepreneurs to embrace simplicity, autonomy, and meaningful work over endless growth.
