In this episode, Sydney opens up about her late ADHD diagnosis and how understanding her neurodivergence completely reshaped the way she approaches work, relationships, and self-compassion. She reflects on her early experiences navigating career burnout, shame, and perfectionism—and how embracing her neurotype led her to a more authentic, sustainable life and career.

Sydney shares her story not just to educate, but to empower other women who are discovering their own neurodivergence later in life. Through honest reflection and lived experience, she invites listeners to consider what thriving can look like outside of societal expectations—and how we can build lives that honor our unique wiring instead of fighting against it.
