The Ambitious Introvert® Podcast Episode 133: ADHD in Business - The Journey from Diagnosis to Treatment, and Beyond with Emily Walker
This week I’m joined by my first ever returning guest, Emily Walker. Emily is an instructional designer who helps coaches, consultants and other experts to package their knowledge so they can scale and serve more people. Emily is brilliant at what she does and has helped me design all of my programs, and today she’s sharing her very personal story of being diagnosed with ADHD as an adult.
In recent years there’s been a rise in adult diagnosis of a number of neurodivergent conditions, so I wanted to share Emily's story of how that felt for her before, during and after. Emily is super transparent about what was going on behind the scenes of her business and I can’t wait to share this very personal conversation with you.
Tune in to find out:
- The moment Emily realised that she might have ADHD and what made her decide to take the first step towards a diagnosis
- What the assessment process was like and how her feelings around it changed
- How it felt for Emily to show up in her business before her diagnosis
- How she felt about starting medication and the conversations she had with her therapist about treatment
- Why her approach to organising and creating containers for her client’s programmes has been refined since her diagnosis and treatments
- The biggest reframe Emily has had to make to get to the level of success she’s at today
- Some details about our group in-person VIP day Elevate & Amplify
