In this deeply personal episode of Gifted With ADHD, Juliet sits down with her very first coaching client, Jenny, to explore the raw reality of navigating a late-in-life ADHD diagnosis. Moving past toxic positivity and the "ADHD is a superpower" narrative, they discuss the very real challenges of emotional dysregulation, chronic overwhelm, and masking. Jenny opens up about her transformative journey over the last few years—from a year of spiraling and grief, to waking up on Boxing Day and deciding to change her entire life. They discuss the power of quitting alcohol to finally feel suppressed emotions, the courage it takes to end a 30-year marriage, and the beauty of simply giving yourself permission to rest.

About the Guest: Jenny Jenny is a Positive Psychology Coach who draws on her own lived experience to support neurodivergent adults. Diagnosed with ADHD three years ago, she spent a year grappling with her new reality before making massive, life-altering changes to align with her true self—including completing her coaching diploma, ending a three-decade-long marriage, and choosing a sober lifestyle. Today, she advocates for radical self-compassion, living without fear, and dropping the heavy masks of neurotypical expectations. Contact Jenny: jenniferworth68@outlook.com

About the Host: Juliet Juliet was diagnosed with ADHD at the age of 50, after a lifetime of believing she was fundamentally flawed—without realising there was a biological explanation behind her struggles. Years of executive dysfunction, perimenopause, and rising anxiety had left her overwhelmed and questioning her own potential. Her diagnosis marked a turning point. She immersed herself in understanding ADHD and, in doing so, discovered something even more transformative: a spiritual perspective on what it means to be human.

Through this lens, Juliet was able to release limiting identities shaped by five decades of misunderstanding herself. She learned how to navigate emotions—like anxiety—with greater ease. She has two-years training in counselling and now has an established coaching practice supporting adults. Blending practical strategies with grounded spirituality, Juliet helps her clients find clarity, inner peace, and the confidence to live their life with purpose to reach their full potential and thrive with ADHD.
