This week I’m sharing a story about responsibility, community, and letting go — what started as my 9-year-old mowing our lawn turned into lessons about raising capable kids, trusting God with our full plates, and building connection right where we live.

If you’ve ever felt like you’re holding all the weight at home or in business, this one’s for you. You’ll walk away encouraged to let others (and your kids!) step in, while you focus on what matters most.

1. Welcome & Why This Story Matters (00:00) — Setting the stage for the episode and why this story is meaningful.

2. Unexpected Independence (01:22) — Your daughter’s initiative and your honest reaction.

3. Building Responsibility, One Task at a Time (03:05) — How you fostered safe, confidence-building steps.

4. Letting Them Lead (05:10) — Observing your child’s growth and learning to step back.

5. Community, Connection, and Growth (07:32) — How these moments tie into bigger life lessons and community.

6. From Home to Business: The Art of Letting Go (09:40) — Drawing parallels between parenting, work, and releasing control.

7. Your Turn: Where Can You Let Go? (10:48)

Ever feel like you're failing at business because you can't stick to the systems that work for everyone else? The planners. The time blocking. The "just focus harder" advice. Here's the truth: Your ADHD brain isn't broken. The system is. In this episode, I'm breaking down why traditional business advice fails ADHD entrepreneurs — and what actually works instead. 🎧 YOU'LL LEARN: ✨ Why your busy brain is like a race car trying to drive like a minivan (and why that's actually your superpower) ✨ The shame cycle that keeps ADHD entrepreneurs stuck — and how to break free ✨ The 3 faith-based business systems that actually work for neurodivergent brains:

• Capture systems that honour how your brain processes information • Decision frameworks that reduce overwhelm • Accountability structures built for consistency (not perfection) ✨ How to turn distractibility from a flaw into your competitive advantage ✨ Why Jesus was the ultimate rebel against broken systems (and what that means for your business) This isn't another "fix yourself" episode. This is about building systems that fit YOUR brain — not forcing your brain to fit someone else's system. --- 🎁 FREE RESOURCE: Grab your Finish One Thing Today toolkit at erinvogt.com/finish.

Katy doesn't have ADHD. But she lives it out, every day! She's been front-and-centre supporting her closest people with squirrel moments for over 20 years - her husband, her son, and her best friend (me).

What We Cover: • Supporting 3 people with ADHD across different relationships (spouse, child, friend) • How we adapted our communication (Katy is clinically deaf, I have ADHD - creativity required!) • The rejection sensitivity dysphoria (RSD) moment that almost stopped me from coaching • Why Katy says ADHD brains have a "snapshot genius" quality • How faith shapes the way we love neurodivergent people • The difference between being a burden vs. an opportunity to adapt Speed-Listen with Timestamps: 0:00 - Meet Katy: Supporting 3 people with ADHD 1:34 - "It's like herding cats" - What it's really like 7:07 - The RSD story: When I was rejected by another coach 3:59 - How Katie adapted her communication (the deaf + ADHD dynamic) 11:02 - The BRILLIANCE Katie sees in ADHD brains 19:37 - "We're all carrying something" - Faith perspective on neurodiversity
