Is Becoming an ADHD Coach the Right Career for You?

Have you ever wondered what it takes to become an ADHD coach? Is coaching the right career for you, and can you actually build a successful business helping adults with ADHD?

In this episode of Time We Discuss, I sit down with Dr. Anna Burns, an ADHD coach and Doctor of Physical Therapy, to explore what it's really like working as an ADHD coach. After spending years in healthcare, Dr. Burns discovered she had ADHD as an adult and transformed that life changing experience into a thriving coaching business dedicated to helping other adults better understand how their brains work.

During our conversation, we discuss:

What an ADHD coach actually does
How Dr. Burns transitioned from physical therapy into coaching
Whether you need certification to become an ADHD coach
ADHD coach salary expectations and earning potential
How to start an ADHD coaching business
The importance of finding your niche as a coach
Marketing strategies that actually bring in clients
Why networking often outperforms social media
Common challenges of running a coaching business
Skills every successful coach should develop
Career growth opportunities beyond one on one coaching

Whether you're exploring a career in coaching, thinking about starting your own business, or simply curious about adult ADHD and entrepreneurship, this interview provides practical advice from someone who has successfully built a business around helping others.
