About Amanda
Following an ADHD diagnosis in 2020, I set about redesigning my business and my life to work with my brain… not against it. For me, that looked like selling my digital marketing agency - with millions in revenue - to create a flexible business model that worked for me.

I now work with ADHD founders, visionaries and leaders who are serious about creating a brain-first business which allows them to achieve their version of success, while still having the energy left to enjoy their life.
