To Diagnose or Not to Diagnose? What I Think About ADHD + Gifted Labels

I’ve had a diagnosis. And I’ve had an insight. And I’ve had to reconcile the two.
In this episode of Align + Attract, I explore the nuanced question of diagnosis—through the lens of ADHD, giftedness, and my own lived experience.

We dive into:

• The questions to ask yourself if you're wondering whether to seek diagnosis
• Why we can avoid or delay diagnosis
• The essential attitude to bring whether you choose to seek diagnosis or not
• That specific insight that catalysed the healing of my ADHD symptoms

Whether you’ve been diagnosed, are considering it, or questioning what labels even mean, this is a grounded, soulful exploration of identity, healing, and what it means to truly thrive.

✨ Plus: I share an emotional insight from my early development (ages 2–4) that changed everything.

🌀 Broken or Brilliant? A Healing Worksh...

The Truth About Brilliant, Differently Wired Brains (And the Trauma Response I Never Saw Coming)

Last week, I shared how receiving an ADHD diagnosis changed my life. But what if that label, as helpful as it was, didn’t tell the whole story?

I left you on a cliffhanger: what WAS the insight I received, via my son  that changed everything?!

So much so that I had to stop taking ADHD medication - because I started to react to it like someone who does NOT have ADHD. It's time to spill the beans.

I share the conversation with a psychologist which unearthed something I wasn’t expecting—and triggered a profound trauma response I didn't understand - yet.

What followed was a deep exploration of neurodivergence, identity, and the complexities of how some of us are wired to see and feel the world.

This episode is for anyone who’s ever felt intense, different, or like their brilliance doesn’t quite fit the mould. If you’ve ever wondered whether there’s a hidden layer to your challenges—or yo...

Is ADHD a Superpower? My ADHD Experience, Diagnosis and What Happened Next

In this personal episode of the Align + Attract podcast, I’m sharing the story of how I discovered I had ADHD at age 46—and how that diagnosis changed everything for me.

From denial to deep overwhelm, then finally clarity, support, and a new level of growth… this journey has shaped not only my life and business but also powerful new work I'll share with you soon.
I explore:

• The years I spent thinking something was wrong with me—but never once suspecting ADHD
• How motherhood amplified my symptoms and made it harder to function in business and at home
• The experience of masking and holding it all together (even when I was falling apart inside)
• What it was like to get diagnosed later in life, and why it came with so much emotion
• The incredible difference medication made for me—and what came next that I never expected
• Whether I see ADHD as a "superpower"—and my honest take on that conversation
• What executive

The Wild Ride of Big Identity Shifts (And Why It Might Be Happening to You)

This year, I’ve experienced one of the biggest identity shifts of my life—and it caught me completely off guard.

In this short but powerful episode, I share how identity shifts aren’t always something we consciously choose. Sometimes, they’re initiated by new information, unexpected healing, or life changes that shake us at our core.

This is what psychologist Kazimierz Dąbrowski calls positive disintegration—and while it sounds messy (and it is), it can also lead to extraordinary alignment, insight and growth.
We’ll explore:

• The difference between chosen vs. initiated identity shifts
• What happens when you’re deep in the “disintegration” phase
• Why this process can feel confusing, destabilising—and also completely transformative
• What emerged for me on the other side (and how it’s informing my most impactful work yet)

If you’ve felt off-centre or uncertain lately, this episode will help you reframe it...

From Corporate to Cosmic: Building An Astrology Empire with Kathryn Hocking

In this episode of Align + Attract, I sit down with Business Astrologer and teacher Kathryn Hocking to explore the beautifully winding journey of building a deeply aligned business. From early pivots, soulful reinventions, and following intuitive nudges to creating a Hay House-published Oracle deck, Kathryn shares how she found her true calling through experimentation, spiritual awakening, and grounded business strategy.

We talk about:

• Why your first idea doesn’t have to be the idea—and how Kathryn followed the energy instead of forcing a niche

• The difference between soul alignment and market fit (and why you need both)
• Her journey to publishing the first-ever Business Astrology Oracle Deck with Hay House—and what

The Standards Reset You Didn't Know You Needed

You know that feeling when you set a big goal, work hard for it, and then… it happens. You achieve it. But instead of feeling that deep satisfaction you thought you would, something else creeps in.

The Identity Shift you Need to Achieve Your Big Dreams

Identity work is critical to achieving your big dreams and along with asking: what do I want to do or create, we need to ask: Who do I need to become to achieve my biggest business goals?
