High-Achieving & Neurodivergent: Thriving Beyond the Diagnosis with Johanna Badenhorst

In honor of ADHD Awareness Month, I’m thrilled to bring you an incredibly special episode that’s close to my heart. Today, I’m joined by Johanna Badenhorst, a psychologist and ADHD coach who was diagnosed with ADHD later in life, just like me. We dive deep into the unique challenges – and strengths – of high-achieving women with ADHD, exploring how neurodivergent individuals can thrive both personally and professionally.

Johanna shares her personal story of navigating a late diagnosis and how it has shaped her approach to empowering women with ADHD to build self-trust, find clarity, and prevent burnout. As a fellow neurodivergent entrepreneur, this episode is particularly meaningful to me, and I know it will resonate deeply with many of you.

In this episode, we cover:

  • Johanna’s journey to her ADHD diagnosis and how it transformed her career path.
  • Common misconceptions about ADHD in high-achieving women and how to challenge them.
  • Why ADHD women often struggle with burnout and how to create more flow.
  • Practical strategies for pacing energy, setting boundaries, and embracing authenticity.
  • Johanna’s insights on showing up authentically on social media and breaking the mold as a neurodivergent psychologist.

If you’re ready to learn how to harness your ADHD as a strength rather than a setback, this episode is for you. Tune in for practical advice, real-life stories, and a big dose of inspiration for embracing your neurodivergent identity.
