I Was Told I Was "Too Much" My Whole Life — Turns Out That Was the Point. Here's Why. | Clutterbug Episode #346

Hey Clutterbugs! You know what we don’t talk about enough? ADHD success stories. We need to hear more about building a business (or a life!) when traditional productivity advice just doesn't work for our brains.

In this episode, I sit down with my friend Ari Scott — ADHD entrepreneur coach, founder of The ADHD Entrepreneur, and someone who I immediately clocked as "my flavor of weird" the second we met — to talk about working with your ADHD brain instead of against it.

Ari was expelled from school at 16, got fired from five jobs, and stumbled into ADHD entrepreneurship coaching almost by accident after a conversation during COVID changed everything. We get real about the shared backstory a lot of us don't talk about — the shame, the self-diagnosis debate, the "too intelligent to have ADHD" dismissals — and how reframing failure completely changed both of our trajectories.

If you've ever been told you're "too much," this conversation is a reminder that the things people called your flaws might actually be exactly what makes you unstoppable.
