Ep. 13: Five Strategies to Harness the Strengths of an ADHD Brain for Sustainable Success Artwork

Shine the Spotlight: The Psychology of Health & Business

Shine the Spotlight is a podcast about how we actually function as humans — in our health, our work, and the lives we’re trying to build. My name is Nichi Morrin, clinical psychologist, writer, lifestyle architect, and entrepreneur. I explore the psychology behind health, business, and sustainable success.

Each episode brings practical, real-world conversations at the intersection of:

Applied psychology and human behaviour

Invisible health, energy, and nervous system regulation

Business psychology, leadership, and doing work smarter — not harder

Building freedom, meaning, and a life that supports you, not just your output

This is not therapy — and it’s not hustle culture.

It’s about understanding how your mind and nervous system shape your health, your choices, and your ability to create a life and business that actually works for you.

Whether you’re a founder, professional, creative, or high-functioning human who knows there has to be a better way to live and work, Shine the Spotlight offers insight, language, and perspective to help you move forward — without burning yourself out or abandoning what matters.

Because success shouldn’t cost your health. And a good life shouldn’t be postponed.
