Thriving with ADHD: Embracing Your Strengths & Building Confidence with Lauren Smy

Today’s episode is such an empowering conversation, especially if you’ve ever felt like your ADHD was holding you back in your business, career, or daily life. I’m joined by the incredible Lauren Smy, an ADHD Performance Coach who specialises in helping high-achieving women break free from overwhelm, self-criticism, and perfectionism.

We dive deep into the importance of self-acceptance—why truly embracing your ADHD, rather than fighting against it, is the key to unlocking your full potential. Lauren shares how understanding the unique ways ADHD impacts productivity, emotional regulation, and confidence can completely shift how you show up—not just in your work, but in every area of your life.

If you’ve been navigating the pressures of perfectionism or constantly feeling one step behind, this episode will give you permission to lean into your strengths, reduce the overwhelm, and build lasting confidence.
