Ep. 132: How Being a Chameleon Is A Business Killer

Karrie Lemansky-Straub

If you’ve ever felt like the weirdo in the room, struggling to find your place in the world (or in business) before understanding your ADHD, this episode is for you. Today, I’m diving deep into the unique challenges—and extraordinary power—of ADHD women in business.

We’ll talk about embracing your authentic self, overcoming the fear of being seen, and why ADHD brains are built for innovation, not conformity. Plus, I’ll share my own journey of unmasking, learning to trust my instincts, and finally creating a business that works for me.

Whether you’re stuck in beige mode or ready to unapologetically own your voice, this episode will remind you that your quirks are your superpower, and success happens when you lean all the way into them.

Learn:

💡 The "chameleon effect" of undiagnosed ADHD—and how it impacts your authenticity in life and business.
💡 Why post-diagnosis unmasking is both liberating and terrifying—and how to navigate it.
💡 How to stop playing small and face the fear of being seen for who you really are.
💡 The importance of creating a business model tailored to your neurodivergent brain.
💡 Why undercharging might teach you more about your business (and yourself) than you think.

Why It Matters:

When you’re living with ADHD, especially undiagnosed, the world can feel like a constant game of catch-up. You look around for clues on how to “do life,” piecing together masks that don’t fit, trying to be “normal.” But post-diagnosis? Everything shifts. It’s not just about removing those masks—it’s about finding out who you really are underneath and building a business (and life) that lets you thrive unapologetically.
