In this episode, you'll learn about: Why an operations manual is the most important single piece you can build into your business to help everything else flow better The essential components your ops manual needs to actually get used, from AI-powered search to cross-device access and smart data organisation Practical strategies for building your ops manual as a work in progress, using AI to help you create it without getting overwhelmed by perfectionism LINKS & RESOURCES MENTIONED Differently Aligned AI Lab – Small group coaching program (Feb-July 2026) to build AI and automation systems in your business.

Get unstuck: Turn your rambling thoughts into strategic content (without the struggle)
If you overthink your content until nothing gets published, this episode shows exactly how I turn messy brain noise into clear, strategic content without forcing myself to work like a neurotypical. “The message here for you is whatever part of your processes you notice you get a big block on, that is where you need help. That is where you need AI or human or automation help to move through that block.” Adina Levy In this episode, I cover: How I use simple systems to get unstuck when my brain feels scattered or blank The real way I work with AI to shape rambling thoughts into strategic content in my own voice Why capturing ideas matters more than perfect flow and how I do it in everyday life Links & Resources mentioned AI for Content Creation in Your Voice workshop – Live, practical workshop where I walk you through my exact process step by step – Descript – The recording and editing app I use for podcast and video content (affiliate link) – Instagram: @Differently Aligned – DM me to request my Show Notes AI Helper prompt or continue the conversation –

Why your AI content sounds generic (and how to fix it)
If you've ever asked AI to create some content for you and cringed at how robotic, weird and generic it sounded, this episode is your fix! “I had this vision of being able to, with the press of a button, take words, thoughts, ideas, writing, transcripts of, me speaking or things straight from my brain, pressing a button and having that be turned into all other types of content where let's say it's 99%. Great. You know, I'm happy with it. I can tweak it and I can improve it, and then it goes out into the world. That's the vision.” — Adina Levy In this episode, I share: The exact AI setup I use to make AI write in my voice (plus a live demo showing the difference between generic AI garbage and content that actually sounds like me) Why your AI content sounds like everyone else's and the missing ingredients you need to fix it What you need to include in your own content workflow, so you can create endless AI-assisted content from one transcript, without losing your authentic voice LINKS Free Training: AI for Content Creation in Your Voice – Live training on the Content Forest Framework – If you’re here after the training, check the link to see what else I’ve got to support you!

In this incredibly insightful and delightful chat with Katie Koullas from Yellow Ladybugs, she shares the non-negotiables of creating inclusive events, and big ideas around building your unique event that is just what your community needs.

Why you're losing clients (and money) before they even book
Many neurodivergent business owners are missing out on clients and income before anyone even books in. In this episode, I share the five biggest reasons why and what to do about it so your clients actually make it through the door. “Nobody cares about your business as much as they care about their own problems... if you think that you’ve given them information at a certain point, do not assume that the person has read or remembered what was already on that website. Remind them, make it easy for them at all points to find the information that they need.” – Adina Levy In this episode, I cover: • Why relying on your memory to handle enquiries is draining you and losing clients • The five most common breakdown points in the enquiry-to-booking journey and how to fix them • Practical ways to make your client journey clear, simple, and safe so people actually say yes Links & Resources mentioned: • Streamline Your Business for Time Freedom – self-paced course with systems, automations, and templates to create more ease in your business – • Find me on Instagram @differently.aligned –

"If what you're offering is time-for-money, one-on-one therapy or coaching, there's a huge risk.

How to decide what to spend money on in your business
Learn a practical, six-step framework for deciding what to spend money on in your business, so you can invest wisely and actually create more time, clarity, and space to grow without falling into the trap of needless expenses or limits.

It's a trap that we may all easily fall into." - Adina Levy In this episode, I share: • My six filters for business spending, showing you exactly how I decide what’s truly worth investing in, from software to people and everything in between • Why freeing up time, propelling yourself forward, getting expert help, streamlining, finding clear next steps, and making space to grow are the real keys to sustainable and profitable business decisions • Honest stories from my own business including rethinking my... large costs in annual software (yep I share the real numbers!), what I’m cutting or keeping, and how I’m using these filters to simplify, save, and support my business future Links: • Neurodivergent Business Collective – supportive membership for neurodivergent business owners – • Streamline Your Business course – practical course to simplify your business systems –

Why it’s so important to surround yourself with people who GET you
Spending time with other neurodivergent people isn’t just lovely... it can fundamentally change how you see yourself, your energy, and your business. "Spending time with other neurodivergent people just helps with that self-acceptance, that self-compassion. Which is the most beautiful starting point because from there you can do anything but not everything." - Adina Levy In this episode, I share: • How the Yellow Ladybugs Conference reminded me why connecting with neurokin matters so much • Why measuring ourselves against neurotypical norms is unfair, and how to stop • What doing business differently from 'expected' can actually look like (hint: it’s not 20 clients a week, if that's burning you out!)

You can do the right hard things! (With the right support, at the right time)
Being neurodiversity affirming doesn’t mean avoiding challenge. It doesn’t mean staying where you are, only doing what’s easy or comfortable. We can do hard things. We can learn new stuff, try new stuff, stretch ourselves – and we absolutely should. The key is doing the right hard things, for the right reasons, with the right support, at the right time. That’s how growth happens without stress, burnout, or disconnection from who we really are. “You get to define what the hard thing is in any one moment. If it feels hard, it is hard. That’s a valid, real experience.” - Adina Levy In this crossover episode with my , I share: • Why doing hard things is not at odds with a neurodiversity affirming approach • My powerful framework to help neurodivergent folks of all ages to take on the right hard things with less stress and more support • Examples of how my framework looks for an Autistic boy learning to read, and for an ADHDer business owner working on changing up her chaotic non-systems.

Behind the Scenes of My Quiet, Slow Project Week - Why I did it, Why it was hard, and Why you should have Project time too!
This episode is your permission slip to slow down, zoom out, and get strategic in a way that actually fits your neurodivergent brain. "This kind of deep, intentional work feels really different to business-as-usual wins. It’s quiet, slow, and sometimes flat, but I know it’s going to pay off. Rather than jump at all the little ideas I had for making the membership better, I decided to go slower, which was really hard to slow ADHD me down and not put all the ideas into place." - Adina Levy You’ll hear me sharing about: • What project time actually looked like for me, and why I’m now making it a non-negotiable • How I used member survey data and deep analysis to make clear, strategic decisions, and why you should do this too • The emotional reality of slow, intentional work when your brain craves fast wins • What’s changing in the Neurodivergent Business Collective and why I’m finally naming who it’s really for • How I’m using tools like body doubling and AI prompts to support focus, motivation, and accessibility LINKS • Neurodivergent Business Collective – Membership for service-based neurodivergent business owners – • Checkout my Burnout to Boundless Webinar – • Guest Speaker Pitch Form – Be a paid speaker in the Collective – • Follow me on Instagram

Sharing the tech tools I actually use (and love) as an Autistic ADHDer running two businesses, how I use them and how they help me. "ADHD brain was struggling big time having too many different bits of information and too many spreadsheets, and the second I think, oh, I need to go and get that information from the other spreadsheet, I half open it up and I'd go on another side quest because I realized I needed to rename a file and move it over there. And suddenly I'm building an automation to move the file and I'm 10 steps away from where I needed to be." — Adina Levy You’ll hear me share about: The exact apps and systems that support both “autistic me” and “ADHD me” in staying focused, reducing burnout and getting the big stuff done How I’ve designed my business to match my energy levels, including clever hacks like colour-coded strategic goals and why I don’t book anything before 11am Why automations make my heart sing and how tools like ClickUp, Capsule CRM and Zapier help me focus on the human-ey parts of my work LINKS • Streamline Your Business for Time Freedom – on-demand course (use code POD20 for 20% off) – • Neurodivergent Business Collective – community for neurodivergent business owners – • 1:1 Coaching and Consulting – join the waitlist – • Explore Your Affirming Practice – free podcast training for Speech Therapists (through my other business, Play.

Prioritising tasks in your business - What you should focus on first

Prioritising tasks in your business - What you should focus on first
In this episode, I’m going to cover prioritising tasks in your business and what you should focus on first. One of the members of my neurodivergent business collective recently asked me this question: 'I'm not sure of the order to follow. What should I set up first? What will help my business? How much time could be allocated to different business tasks?' This question, and I feel like many of you will benefit from hearing the answer. So I thought I would make today's podcast episode all about this. I think an important factor here is that depending on the stage of your business, there will be different amount of time spent on different parts of your business.
