Did someone steal the map?!
If your business or career journey feels more like a winding path than a straight line, you’re not alone - and you’re in the right place.
At 53, my ADHD diagnosis shifted everything for me. Suddenly, the twists, turns, and impulsive pivots that had shaped my life and career finally made sense. The patterns I had struggled to understandself-doubt, imposter syndrome, and constant restless shifts in focus - weren’t failures. They were signs of a brain wired for novely, creativity, innovation, and connection.
ADHD isn’t a flaw. It’s a different way of thinking that, when embraced, can unlock extraordinary growth and fulfilment.
The dual reality
of ADHD in business.
ADHD brings both extraordinary strengths and real challenges. It’s this mix that makes every ADHD journey unique.
- Strengths: ADHD often gifts you with rapid ideation, out-of-the-box problem-solving, and boundless creativity. You may be a natural big-picture thinker with an eye for opportunities others miss.
- Challenges: But it can also mean struggling with follow-through, managing competing priorities, and navigating rejection sensitivity. Overwhelm, impulsivity, or difficulty regulating emotions can often hold you back.
The key isn’t to ignore the hurdles or focus only on the benefits - it’s to understand the full picture of ADHD and create tools that work with your brain, not against it. When you embrace your unique wiring, you can transform challenges into opportunities and your strengths into a framework for growth.
The Potential Gap - where growth begins
The world often talks about the “pain gap” - what’s broken or needs fixing. I choose to focus on the “potential gap” instead.
This is the space between where you are now and the incredible opportunities waiting for you. ADHD isn’t a detour or a roadblock - it’s part of the map itself. When you embrace it, you’ll discover strengths and treasures you didn’t even know were there.
The Late-Stage ADHD Diagnosis Cycle
Receiving an ADHD diagnosis later in life can feel like a rollercoaster. I created the Late Stage ADHD Diagnosis Cycle© to make sense of the emotional journey I went on - perhaps it will resonate with you too:
- Surprise: “Oh! Really? This explains SO much!”
- Relief: “So there was an actual reason I felt and did XYZ…”
- Sadness: “Things might have been so different…”
- Anger: “Why the HELL wasn’t this picked up earlier?!”
- Acceptance: “Ok, I need to let go and move forward.”
- Adjustment: “What changes will I make, and what support do I need?”
Wherever you are in this cycle, I see you. And I can help you create a unique map for your next chapter in business and life.
“I first heard Angela speaking as a guest on an ADHD podcast, and I was instantly inspired. I felt stuck in my busy life and thought she could guide me into a deeper understanding of myself and where I wanted to go.
Angela has exceptional listening skills and an incredible ability to get to the heart of things. Through our work together, I’ve gained so much. My vision is clearer, and I now have more self-compassion and self-understanding. I feel more confident and positive, no longer stuck in a rut. I’m kinder to myself, which has allowed me to achieve more without feeling frazzled.
I highly recommend Angela to anyone looking for greater self-understanding or guidance in navigating a new direction in life. Thank you so much, Angela, for your unwavering commitment and support!”
My unique approach
After my diagnosis, I leaned into my expertise in strategy development, strengths profiling, self-leadership, and positive psychology to redesign my business and overhaul my life. These tools are now the foundation of how I help women like you.
Here’s what our work together might look like:
- ASSESS: Understand what’s worked (and hasn’t) in your history to define your next chapter.
- REFINE: Identify the strategies, systems, and supports you need to succeed.
- ELEVATE: Turn clarity into action with a plan aligned to your strengths and goals.
I believe in frameworks, not formulas - so no cookie-cutter solutions here. Together, we create something that truly fits YOU.
A Self-leadership lens
can transform your perspective
I’ve found (retrospectively) that one of the central challenges of ADHD is a lack of self-trust, which manifests itself in believing someone or something “out there” has the right answers for us.
The power of
Positive Psychology for ADHD'ers
This science fosters a growth mindset, empowering us to cultivate our inherent strengths and develop personal strategies that align with our dynamic thinking patterns.
What next?
If you’re ready to embrace your strengths, step into self-leadership, and rewrite your ADHD story, let’s connect.
Please note: Although I have been mentoring women for 20 years, I am not a certified ADHD Coach. My lived experience and work with other ADHD'ers who connected with me after listening to my interviews on ADHD for Smart Ass Women and ADHD Womens Wellbeing Podcasts guide my approach.
