Calmly Coping What ADHD Really Looks Like in High-Achievers with Rebecca Tolbert, LICSW
If you’ve ever felt like you should have it all together—but inside, you're exhausted, scattered, or secretly struggling to keep up—this episode is for you. I'm joined by Rebecca Tolbert, a clinical therapist and ADHD coach who brings warmth, wisdom, and lived experience to the conversation around ADHD in high-achieving professionals. We explore how ADHD can show up in subtle, unexpected ways, why it’s often overlooked in women, and how learning to work with your brain—rather than against it—can change everything.
In this episode, you will learn:
- The subtle ways ADHD can show up in high-achievers
- How to manage your energy through “sprinter-style” productivity
- The SEMPRE skill set that supports ADHD brains and nervous systems
- Why acceptance and joyful structure are key to sustainable success
