Ep 130 - Gen X ADHD Women - It's Never Too Late to Start Over

Join the Generation Exceptional Community for Gen X women over on Facebook <a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/generationexceptional">https://www.facebook.com/groups/generationexceptional </a> There's a wave of Gen X women being late diagnosed with ADHD - and it's causing a bit of a stir! Many of these women are making the decision to change direction in later life and, as a Gen X Late Diagnosed ADHDer who redesigned my own life at the age of 52, I can tell you it's the best thing I ever did. In this episode of the Generation Exceptional Podcast I'm chatting with ADHD career coach and late diagnosed ADHDer Rachel Gaddis all about how we can reframe some of the limiting beliefs that stop us living the next chapter in alignment with what's actually important to us. Rachel is a career transition coach who focuses on helping ADHD women over 40, particularly women who’ve been recently diagnosed. As a career transition coach who was diagnosed with inattentive-type ADHD at age 44, she understands firsthand the profound impact such a diagnosis can have on one’s professional and personal life. Using co-active coaching methodology, Rachel assists clients in aligning their professional paths with their core values and innate strengths. Her approach is profoundly influenced by her personal experience of a late ADHD diagnosis, overcoming breast cancer, embracing her 50s, and executing a major career shift. Rachel's extensive background in career research, encompassing countless articles, books, and assessments, has enabled her to turn her personal journey into a powerful tool for guiding others. She offers empathetic and strategic coaching, helping mid-career professionals, especially women, to embrace change and craft careers that offer genuine fulfillment and purpose.

Ep 129 - 5 Business Norms to Ditch if You Have ADHD | My Take on Entrepreneur 'Advice'

In this podcast I’m calling out some popular business advice that just doesn’t work for my ADHD brain. You’ve probably heard these so-called “must-dos” from countless business gurus, but I want to share with you why they might be doing more harm than good. I’ll break down the five business norms that I've ditched and why you should consider doing the same, especially if you’re an entrepreneur with ADHD or just tired of one-size-fits-all advice. Timestamps: - 00:00 - Introducing the 5 BS Business Norms - 00:54 - The Work-Life Balance Myth: Why the traditional idea of work-life balance is a setup for failure. - 06:42 - The Miracle Morning: How rigid routines like this don't align with an ADHD mind. - 08:50 - Dress for Success: Why focusing on what you wear might be overrated. - 12:00 - 121 Business Follow-ups: Why constant networking and follow-ups can be overwhelming and unproductive. - 15:40 - The Busyness Myth: Why being busy doesn’t equal being productive. If you’re in the business of working with corporates as a wellbeing professional and want to refine your corporate offer, I’m here to help. As a business coach and mentor, I specialize in guiding wellbeing coaches to connect with the right decision-makers and build a thriving business.
