Not Quite Typical: AuDHD & Neurodivergent Conversations30 Jun

S02E04:AuDHD Burnout, Task Paralysis, & Ditching Corporate for a Portfolio Career with Therapist Simone Westcott-Villiers

Ever been handed a clinical worksheet by a therapist and felt an instant wave of ADHD shame and avoidance? You are not alone.

In this episode, we are completely reframing how we look at mental health, therapy, and the traditional 9-to-5 corporate grind with Simone Westcott-Villiers, a CBT specialist and the founder of Founder Therapy.

Simone specializes in working with entrepreneurs, high achievers, and late-diagnosed ADHD women who are tired of wearing a mask to fit into rigid, outdated systems. Together, we unpack why traditional therapy "homework" completely fails neurodivergent brains, the massive corporate exodus of ADHD women building successful portfolio careers, and why ADHD burnout requires chasing dopamine rather than just sitting still. We also dive into Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria (RSD) and how to break out of toxic people-pleasing loops to confidently set boundaries.
