Episode Summary
Rah Gardiner is about to celebrate three years of running her own business—and what a ride it’s been! After 25 years as a full-time employee, she took the leap into self-employment, chasing freedom, purpose, and a different way of working. Just 18 months in, she landed her dream client—and never looked back.
But there’s another layer to Rah’s story. At age 46, she was diagnosed with ADHD, a discovery that gave her language and clarity for so much of her past. In this episode, Rah talks honestly (and often hilariously) about the shift from undiagnosed to diagnosed, and how medication and awareness have changed her life—for the better.
We also dig into how Rah uses automation tools like MailChimp and CRMs to simplify the behind-the-scenes of business—and how you can, too.
💡 What You'll Learn:
- What it’s like to start a business after decades of being an employee
- How Rah landed her dream client 1.5 years into business
The power of an ADHD diagnosis later in life—and the difference it’s made
What business automation really means (and how to start) - Why trying new things—even imperfectly—matters more than doing it all
🚀 Encouragement for Listeners:
This episode is for anyone who’s ever felt like they were “too late” to start something new or “too different” to fit a business mould. Rah’s story will leave you feeling encouraged to try, to tweak, to automate, and most of all—to back yourself.
Whether you’re neurodivergent, neurotypical, tech-shy or systems-savvy, you’ll walk away with ideas and insights that make business feel more manageable and more you.
