There’s a side of me you don’t often see on here, because there can be a lot of shame with October being ADHD Awareness Month, I thought it was time to share a little more of my story.
13 years ago, the same year I started Neo, I also decided to stop drinking. Life had become unmanageable and something needed to change.
Growing up with ADD and dyslexia, school wasn't exactly my strong suit.
Concentrating, processing information and learning in the traditional way didn't come easily to me and for a long time, I genuinely thought that I would continue to fail.
Turns out, my brain just works a little differently. 👀
Giving up alcohol brought a clarity I hadn't experienced before and Neo became something I could pour my energy, creativity and passion into.
Now, 13 years on, I'm running a successful business that I absolutely love, with an incredible team around me that understands my challenges and brings strengths where they are needed!
Do I still get overwhelmed? Absolutely. Do I make mistakes? Of course. Have I figured it all out? Not even close. 😂
But I've learnt that the things I once saw as weaknesses can also be some of my biggest strengths.
I'm sharing this because social media has a funny way of making everyone's journey look perfectly put together, and mine certainly hasn't.
So, if you've ever felt like you don't quite fit the mould, struggled at school or worried that the way your brain works might hold you back, I hope this reminds you that there's more than one way to build a life you deserve!
Different doesn't mean less capable. Sometimes it's exactly what makes you, you. 🤎
