Many entrepreneurs believe their biggest challenge is strategy.

But what if the real challenge is focus?

In this episode of Casa De Confidence, Julie DeLucca-Collins sits down with ADHD strategist, coach, entrepreneur, and founder of Unconventional Organisation, Skye Waterson.

Diagnosed with ADHD while pursuing her PhD, Skye shares how she transformed her personal struggles with focus, overwhelm, time blindness, and burnout into a thriving business helping ADHD entrepreneurs and executives scale sustainably.

Together, Julie and Skye explore how ADHD impacts business growth, why traditional productivity advice often fails neurodivergent entrepreneurs, and how systems, structure, and self-awareness can help entrepreneurs create consistent revenue without sacrificing their well-being.

Whether you've been diagnosed with ADHD, suspect you may have it, or simply find yourself overwhelmed, distracted, and struggling to prioritize, this conversation offers practical strategies and hope.
