Dr Lara Goode opens up about her recent realisation and diagnosis about of what her psychologist called "severe combined type ADHD" at 35. Lara runs her own allied health clinic, is a Mum of two boys and she’s only now meeting herself for the first time - at 35.

In this episode, Lara and I unpack what a late ADHD diagnosis actually feels like: the relief, the rage, and the question she now asks herself every day - is this actual Lara, or performing Lara?

We talk about:

• Getting diagnosed with ADHD at 35 and grieving the years it was missed
• Good girl conditioning, people pleasing and having no boundaries
• Masking, mirroring and being a chameleon in relationships
• Why anger in women is treated as “unbecoming”, and why our mid-thirties is when the rage shows up
• Burnout, high standards and genuinely believing in bandwidth you don’t have
• Postnatal anxiety and the undoing that motherhood brings
• What Lara would say to her younger self

Whether or not ADHD is part of your story, if you’ve ever felt like you’ve spent your life performing a version of yourself, this one is for you.
