But what if your business isn’t broken — it just wasn’t built to work with your brain?In this episode, Christina, Victoria, and Melanie unpack why traditional business advice often fails neurodivergent entrepreneurs — and how to stop trying to "fix" yourself and instead redesign your business to actually support how you think, feel, and operate.It’s an honest, compassionate conversation about resistance, burnout, clarity, and what real momentum looks like when you're not masking or forcing yourself to fit the mold.🧠 Key Takeaways* Resistance isn’t just procrastination.
