Today, we’re diving into a conversation that so many women in their 30s and 40s are quietly living through, but rarely saying out loud.

I’m joined again by Jenni, who you might remember from a previous episode, and this time we’re going deeper into what it really looks like to have a non-linear career, a late ADHD diagnosis, and, as Jenni discovered, autism traits on top of it all.

If you’ve ever looked at your CV and thought,

“Why can’t I just stick to one thing like everyone else?”

or woken up already telling yourself you’re behind before the day has even started…

this episode is for you.

We talk about:

• The shame spiral of changing jobs, careers, and directions
• How a late diagnosis of ADHD and autism can trigger both grief and massive relief
• Why so many women in chaotic, high-pressure jobs — like policing, construction, and close protection — only realise later that their brains were never “the problem”
• And how to start moving from self-criticism to self-acceptance, without trying to “fix” who you are

This is an honest, vulnerable, and, at times, very funny conversation between two women who absolutely do not fit the traditional career box — and have finally stopped apologising for it.

So, if you’ve ever felt “too much”, “all over the place”, or secretly broken…

take a breath, grab a cuppa, and let this be your reminder:

you are not broken, and you are definitely not alone.

Let’s dive in.
