Others keep chasing new ideas, opportunities, and strategies, hoping the next one will finally make everything click. The result?

You'll hear practical strategies, honest conversations, personal stories, and expert insights designed to help you make better decisions, follow through on what matters most, and create sustainable success…","last_synced_at":"2026-09-16T02:20:24.574197+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/adhd-ish-1242959"},"episode":{"title":"Four Ways High Functioning ADHD Entrepreneurs Put Their Mental Health at Risk","slug":"four-ways-high-functioning-adhd-entrepreneurs-put-their-mental-health-at-risk","published_at":"2026-05-05T11:00:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/adhd-ish-1242959/four-ways-high-functioning-adhd-entrepreneurs-put-their-mental-health-at-risk","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/adhd-ish-1242959","url":"https://adhd-ish.captivate.fm/episode/four-ways-high-functioning-adhd-entrepreneurs-put-their-mental-health-at-risk","audio_url":"https://op3.dev/e/episodes.captivate.fm/episode/d33326d0-3d88-4a35-8db2-12b9915ee05a.mp3","summary":"High-functioning ADHD entrepreneurs often mask chronic stress behind professional success, leaving hidden mental health risks unaddressed.
