Helen McHugh | Founder – The Empowered Nurse
I had been trying to launch my business for what felt like forever, but I just couldn’t get unstuck. I realised that, before I could focus on my business, I needed support with my ADHD. When I heard Angela on Tracy Otsuka’s podcast, I instantly felt she was the right fit. Angela not only has extensive experience with business strategy, but she also understands ADHD firsthand and is also in the recovery community too. I thought, ‘If anyone will truly get me, it’s her.’ I needed someone who could balance small business know-how with an understanding of how I think.
Earlier in the year, Angela and I had already worked together on my strengths profile, and I felt at ease with her from the start. She’s warm, approachable, and has this genuine way of making you feel you can be yourself without any pretences. That was non-negotiable for me.
Since we started working together, I have moved forward in ways I never imagined possible. Angela’s support helped me build confidence, find clarity, and really trust my own process. I’ve released videos, hired a virtual assistant, and am now actively working on my website and marketing content. The feedback I’m getting from what I’ve had the courage to share so far has been really positive, and I’m starting to see that I can absolutely do this—and that what I have to offer is valuable.
Angela brings a unique mix of kindness and professionalism. Her feedback is honest and direct, yet always encouraging. I appreciate the way she blends expertise with empathy, and her humour makes our sessions fun and productive. She’s been patient when I’ve missed an appointment, ADHD style, and her knowledge of tech has been invaluable- email marketing, Delenta, Fathom, Canva and more. Having recordings and written materials to refer back to has been incredibly helpful. She even goes the extra mile to create videos to ensure I’m clear on every step.
I’d recommend Angela’s coaching and mentoring to any woman looking to launch or elevate her business. Her heart, humour, and expertise make her easy to work with, and you always feel she’s got you – even when your head is spinning. I’m truly grateful I made the choice to invest in her services; she provides incredible value and makes the journey enjoyable and impactful!
