I'm Xena & I have ADHD
I was 36 when I finally got diagnosed with ADHD.
Growing up I was the shy kid, the one terrified of being called on in class, who would go bright red anytime her name was mentioned.
I had the report cards that read “away with the ferries” & “would do well if she applied herself”.
I struggled to make & keep friends, developed an eating disorder as a teenager, was diagnosed with anxiety & struggled to finish anything I started.
All things I later learned are common for people with ADHD…
In 2014 I bought a oneway ticket to London (hello impulsivity!)… & I absolutely hated it!
I started drinking cider every single night to numb the constant anxiety.
I wanted to lose weight, get healthy & start my own business but I just kept procrastinating.
At my lowest point, I couldn’t even look at myself in the mirror.
I had no self-esteem & I felt like a total failure.
COACHING changed my life.
Even before my ADHD diagnosis.
Even before medication.
Coaching helped me to change my life in ways that were almost unrecognisable.
-
I gained confidence & overcame my fear of public speaking.
-
I learned how to regulate my emotions & manage my RSD so that I was able to date & find my incredible partner (after 10+ years of being single & T.E.R.R.I.F.I.E.D of dating)
-
I certified as a Coach, started my own business, left my 9-5 job & have helped 1000s of people around the world.
Getting my ADHD diagnosis at age 36 was the missing piece.
Determined to figure out how to work with my ADHD brain
I reached out to experts, devoured studies and begun sharing my discoveries on the
Navigating Adult ADHD Podcast.
I learned how to work with & maximise dopamine. And incorporated systems that work for ADHD brains.
The more info I devoured the more relief I felt.
I quickly l discovered that medication alone was not enough if I wanted to thrive with ADHD.
I developed my coaching program based on the 4 elements that have helped me to change my ENTIRE life.
M - Mindset Management
E - Emotional Regulation Skills
D - Dopamine Management
S - Systems that work for ADHD brains
Since creating the MEDS model I have coached, supported & loved hundreds of adults with ADHD, helping them to thrive.
