About this listen

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, independent professional, or creative, 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.

  • Adding Novelty in Your Business with Pop-Up Offers
    Jan 20 2026

    Welcome back to ADHD-ish! In this episode, host Diann Wingert sits down with marketing strategist, copywriting expert, and podcaster Erin Ollila.

    This convo is all about pop-up offers—and how adding a dose of novelty can transform your business. Inspired by her own ADHD-driven creativity, Erin shares the thought process behind developing two unique, time-limited offers just before a major launch.

    What sets these pop-ups apart? They’re quick, strategic, easy to implement, and build on skills and systems Erin already uses in her daily work.

    Together, Diann and Erin unpack the benefits and pitfalls of pop-up offers, the importance of strategy, and why a well-designed “quick win” can boost both business and client satisfaction.

    You’ll hear how Erin’s ADHD-fueled ability to make rapid decisions, build connections, and see opportunity in white space on her calendar led her to a set of mini-offers that serve both her capacity and her clients’ need for immediate results.

    If you’ve ever felt stuck between launching new programs or just want to shake things up in your offer suite, this episode is gold.

    Here’s what you’ll learn from this episode:

    1. What the heck is a pop-up offer? Erin breaks down how these limited-time, ultra-focused offers work—and why they’re not just a glorified sale.
    2. Why pop-up offers are a dream for ADHD entrepreneurs. Ever feel compelled to act on a spark of creativity? Learn how to channel that energy in ways that actually make sense, earn money, AND feel fulfilling.
    3. The strategy behind a successful offer It’s not just about the excitement; Erin is all about blending impulsivity with real business strategy so your pop-ups support your bigger vision.
    4. How to create quick wins for your clients (and for YOU!) Discover ways to design services that give instant gratification and long-term results—yes, even for things like SEO and content strategy.
    5. What to do when things don’t go as planned Real talk: Erin and Diann discuss what happens when nobody buys right away and how to adapt without losing your momentum.

  • "Enough Already": Breaking the ADHD Habit of Overcompensating in Your Business
    Jan 13 2026

    No one launches their own business in search of exhaustion. But for so many of us with ADHD-ish tendencies, overworking, over-delivering, and over-researching often become our default—especially when our own sense of “enough” is broken or never got calibrated in the first place.

    This episode goes deeper than productivity advice; it’s about safety, self-worth, and learning what sustainability truly requires.

    I share the real reason our inner “enoughness meter” is so hard to find—and how you can start recalibrating it for sustainability (not burnout).

    Sometimes, the pursuit of “above and beyond” is really about chasing safety, not satisfaction.

    What you’ll learn:

    1. Why your “enoughness meter” is so damn hard to read.

    Diann Wingert explains how, for entrepreneurs with ADHD, it’s not about laziness or lacking motivation—a lot of us just genuinely can’t judge when a task is finished.

    2. The two main tracks that shaped your patterns:

    Are you the “overachiever” always collecting gold stars, or the “compensator” trying to cover every base (and then some) out of fear of dropping the ball? Maybe both? You’ll discover your origin story—and why it matters.

    3. The “Enough Already” Framework (it has five parts!).

    Get real, actionable tools—like calibration questions and the Enough Algorithm—to help you finally stop overdoing and start celebrating what’s truly “good enough.”

    4. How to tell the difference between flow state and fear state.

    If you keep working because you’re energized, great! If you’re pushing through out of anxiety or fear, Diann Wingert shares how to spot the signs and what to do instead.

    5. How to set micro-commitments and collect EVIDENCE that enough really is enough.

    Try out the practical scripts and journaling prompts, and learn to recalibrate that internal workload meter (it CAN be done!)

    Mic Drop Moment:

    "Enough isn't about lowering your standards. It's not about doing mediocre work, striving for the bare minimum, or simply not caring enough to do better. It is about directing your excellence strategically instead of indiscriminately."

    Try It With Me

    Pick your area. Make a micro commitment. Collect your evidence. And then—here’s my ask—email me and tell me what happened when you stopped at enough. I want to hear where you struggled, what surprised you, and how it felt when it finally got easier.

    We’ve run past the finish line for too long, measuring our value by exhaustion instead of impact. Now’s the time to recalibrate.

    And if you want the full road map, join me on ADHD-ish—I’m here every week, sharing the hard-earned lessons I’ve learned (sometimes the hard way), and cheering on every step you take towards “enough.”

  • The Neurodivergent Edge: Redefining Strength in Relationships & Business
    Jan 6 2026

    Welcome to another episode of ADHD-ish!

    Today, host Diann Wingert is joined by psychologist and viral TikTok creator Dr. Dante for a raw, insightful look at the "Neurodivergent Edge"—how ADHD traits transform not just personal relationships but entrepreneurial success.

    In this conversation, Dr. Dante shares the story behind his celebrated term "neuro baddies," celebrating the honesty, intensity, and creativity that neurodivergent women bring to the table.

    Together, Diann & Dante explore why society’s negative perceptions of ADHD traits miss the mark, how trauma bonds form, and how rejection sensitivity and perfectionism can be reframed as superpowers in both love and business.

    You’ll hear candid stories, hard-hitting truths about justice sensitivity, and practical wisdom on breaking free from toxic relationships—plus, a message for neurodivergent women struggling with self-acceptance.

    If you’ve ever wondered how your different way of thinking can be your biggest asset, this episode will inspire you to name it, claim it, and embrace the title of“neuro baddie” proudly.

    What’s Inside This Episode?

    Here are 5 keys you’ll learn in today’s convo:

    1. The Origin of "Neurobaddies": How a spontaneous ADHD thought in the grocery store parking lot became a viral, empowering movement for neurodivergent women.
    2. Why Neurodivergent Women Make Amazing Partners: Honesty, hyperfocus, and genuineness—discover why these traits are actually super attractive (not quirks to hide!).
    3. The Narcissist Trap: Neurodivergent traits can make women more vulnerable to toxic relationships, but knowing the signs gives you real power to protect yourself.
    4. Entrepreneurial Superpowers: How “all-in” energy, justice sensitivity, and relentless action drive success in business (yep, your ADHD traits are an asset!).
    5. Healing Starts With Self-Trust: Why learning to trust yourself is the real game-changer, despite years of negative feedback.

    Guest Bio:

    Dante Assad Williams, PsyD (Dr Dante) is a Minneapolis-based psychologist, adjunct professor, entrepreneur, and social media influencer who highlights the unique strengths of neurodivergent women in relationships and in business.

    With lived experience as a neurodivergent (ADHD) man, and a viral TikTok following built on his unapologetic appreciation for "neuro baddies," Dr. Dante brings authenticity, deep understanding, and hope to every conversation about mental health, relationships, and business. His body of work is centered on neurodivergence, trauma, and holistic masculinity.

    Fun Fact from the Episode:

    Dr. Dante named “neurobaddies” on a whim in a 10-second TikTok video? He didn’t expect it to go viral—but now, it’s a movement with merch on the way! (Yes, T-shirts are coming!)
