In this week's wisdom episode of The ADHD Women’s Wellbeing Podcast, we welcome ADHD business mentor Amanda Perry to explore returning to work and life with more ease after the holidays. As a late-diagnosed midlife woman herself, Amanda shares how her ADHD diagnosis reshaped her business, inviting us to embrace supportive tools like AI without losing our unique strengths and messaging.

We discuss practical ways AI can support tasks that require executive function, such as breaking down overwhelming tasks and automating routines, so we can focus on what we love. This conversation honours the shift from "work harder" to "work smarter," helping us reduce burnout and nurture balance in our working life.

My new book, The ADHD Women's Wellbeing Toolkit, is now available, grab your copy here!

Key Takeaways:

1. How Amanda's ADHD diagnosis shifted how she runs her business
2. The power of using AI to automate tasks that drain our energy
3. How tools like projects and tasks in ChatGPT can support daily workflow and planning
4. Understanding how AI can complement your strengths and overcome your challenges for the best assistance
5. Intentional use of AI to break down ideas, clarify your ideas, prevent burnout, and organise your time
6. Shifting away from a 'work harder' mindset to a more efficient workflow through smarter shortcuts

The key message of this episode is that AI is a tool which can complement your creativity, but isn't a replacement for it. Explore how AI can be your supportive business partner to start the year with more ease, self-compassion, and smarter systems.
