In this episode I'm getting into why women with ADHD are so good at cataloguing everything that went wrong and so bad at holding onto what went right.

Newsflash: it has nothing to do with gratitude and everything to do with the neuroscience behind your ADHD brain!

We cover:

• Why the ADHD brain runs hotter on negativity bias and what years of masking does to that
• The Reticular Activating System: what it is, why it matters, and why your brain is basically one giant algorithm
• Why celebrating wins feels so uncomfortable when your nervous system learned early that good things get taken away
• A simple 7-day wins challenge to start retraining your brain today

7-DAY 3-WINS CHALLENGE

For 7 days straight, write down 3 wins: either in the morning for the day before, or at night to reflect on the day just gone.

Alternatively, send me your 3x wins on the first day via Instagram and I'll keep you accountable every day after that. I genuinely want to celebrate with you!!!

Late Diagnosed Diaries is hosted by Alexia Eleni Monda; ADHD coach, hypnotherapist, NLP Master Practitioner, and late-diagnosed woman who's been exactly where you are.

Almost a year ago, I got my ADHD diagnosis at 30... it was bittersweet to say the least.

I had grief for my younger self because I spent my life wondering why she couldn't get her shit together, and relief that my future self could find the answers.

In this first episode, I get honest about why I blew up a podcast (Lexicon For Life) that was working and started again, what it actually felt like to be diagnosed late in life, and why the women sliding into my DMs made this calling impossible to ignore.

I talk about my years of learning hypnotherapy, NLP and nervous system regulation by living it myself and why I refuse to let ADHD become a crutch.

I couldn't find the connection between education and real empowerment after my diagnosis, so I've created it for myself and other women like me.

If you're late-diagnosed, self-diagnosed or just curious about ADHD, you're invited to the party!

Welcome to The Late Diagnosed Diaries darling.

Let's reclaim your ADHD and make shift happen!

I'm back! A new audio only episode for you, all about changing identities, closing chapters and starting new ones.

I've got some great life updates and show you what it means when you say yes to opportunities that level you up!
