About this podcast
A podcast for neurodivergent business owners who are tired of trying to force their brains into systems that weren't built for them. Hosted by Em Shindel, a business systems consultant and late-diagnosed AuDHDer, The Cauldron is where we stir up honest conversations about building sustainable businesses with AuDHD-friendly systems, anti-hustle approaches, and a whole lot of permission to do things differently. Expect real talk about the messy intersection of neurodivergence and entrepreneurship, no shame. Joined by co-host Elliott, Em explores what it actually takes to work with your brain instead of against it. New episodes every week. Grab your favorite beverage and settle in.
