Finally, an ADHD podcast that skips 'superpower' chat and toxic productivity to get real about what's going on and what actually works. If you're tired of empty promises and quick fixes, you've found your home.
I'm Katherine, a certified ADHD coach (PCC, ACCG) diagnosed with ADHD and Autism in my early 40s. With 400+ hours of professional training and 20 years of entrepreneurial experience, I bring evidence-based strategies and the honest conversations you've been searching for. My clients call me the "ADHD nerd version of their favourite aunty" – and I'm here for it.
What you'll get:
- Weekly episodes tackling executive function challenges like emotional regulation, time management, and getting started
- Practical, ADHD-friendly approaches to success that you'll learn to create so they actually fit your brain
- Guest experts sharing diverse perspectives on thriving with neurodivergence (not just selling their products)
- No fluff, no sugar-coating: just real talk for real people who are too busy for 90 minute chit chat
Perfect for: Adults navigating ADHD diagnosis, entrepreneurs building sustainable businesses, women in perimenopause or menopause, and anyone supporting someone with ADHD, especially teens and families with multiple ADHD/neurodivergent members.
You know that overnight transformations or one-size-fits-all solutions don't last, even if they're fun for a few hours. With me, you'll discover the power of self-awareness, autonomy, and agency while reframing what success looks like for your unique brain and life circumstances.
Are you ready to turn those very real, annoying ADHD challenges into powerful possibilities? Your authentic growth journey starts here. Let's Go.
