  • More Than a Coach: Samantha Doyle’s Playbook for Business Success - 17

    What does it take to scale a business without burning out? Samantha Doyle breaks it down, sharing her journey from high-level business acquisitions to building her own strategic coaching practice.

  • How to Delegate Effectively: A Sparkly Brain's Strategic Guide for Entrepreneurs - 15
    Feb 18 2025

    Running a business with an ADHD brain isn’t about forcing yourself into traditional productivity methods—it’s about creating a structure that actually works for you. For years, I fought against my own brain, feeling overwhelmed by endless ideas, time blindness, and executive dysfunction. No matter how hard I worked, I felt like I was always behind. Everything changed when I stopped trying to fit into systems designed for neurotypical minds and built a business that supported how I actually think.

    In this episode, I share how I learned to work with my brain instead of against it. I talk about the power of delegation, how hiring an executive assistant transformed my productivity, and why traditional goal-setting and organization methods don’t always work for neurodivergent entrepreneurs. I break down the systems that keep me moving forward, how I manage my energy instead of just my time, and why true productivity isn’t about doing more—it’s about focusing on what truly matters.

    If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed, scattered, or stuck in a cycle of unfinished projects, this episode will give you a new way to approach work, delegation, and growth—one that actually fits how your brain works.
