How ADHD Affects Your Nervous System with Jamie Sea

The ADHD Skills Lab

Presented by Understood.org

Jamie Sea built two seven-figure businesses.

From the outside, everything looked successful. But behind the scenes, the pressure, urgency and burnout were becoming impossible to ignore.

In this episode of ADHD Skills Lab, Skye talks with Jamie Sea, entrepreneur, educator and host of The Jamie Sea Show about the moment she realized the businesses she built no longer fit the life she wanted.

Jamie shares what it was like to feel trapped inside success, how ADHD patterns and nervous system pressure shaped the way she worked, and why she ultimately made the difficult decision to close both companies and start again.

They explore how urgency, identity and internal pressure influence many ADHD entrepreneurs; and how learning to work with the nervous system can change the way we approach work, money and success.

Diagnosed with ADHD at the start of her PhD, Skye Waterson spent years researching what actually works and writing about it for thousands of founders. The pattern she kept finding: ADHD business owners don't have a focus problem, they have an operations problem, because the whole business runs through their own head. Now she and her husband, former programmer Robert Waterson, work as fractional COOs for those founders. They find the bottleneck, hire the fix, and build the system that holds.
