Lots to dig into this episode with the fascinating and friendly ADHD coach Ange Nennie.
🐝 Ange shares some of her personal ADHD journey including her diagnosis, how she has adjusted to medication, and when she uses it. She has a great reframe on diagnosis which is “diagnoses can change the question from what is wrong with me to how do I cope with this?”
We spend some time discussing ADHD in general, ADHD and peri-menopause, and transition times when there is often a diagnosis.
🐝 Ange brings clarity to the differences between regular coaching vs. ADHD coaching, and ADHD coaching vs. therapy.
We go deep into ADHD coaching with Ange. It is person-based—the aim is to craft a solution that works for the individual. It is also practical and future-focused, with an emphasis on planning the actions a client has decided to take to support success. She also mentions the four pillars of success and her strengths-based approach to coaching.
🐝 In addition, Ange is part of a local ADHD Professional Group which meets quarterly with speakers, panels, and case studies to keep professionals up to date with what is happening in the ADHD space.
We also discuss how important it is to find your tribe. Ange highlights the value of connecting with others who share similar experiences, bringing validation and acceptance into our lives.
