133-Navigating Late ADHD Identification: 7 Stages of Acceptance with Simon Nichols

We're delving deep into "Navigating Late ADHD Identification: 7 Stages of Acceptance" with our guest, Simon Nichols, TEDX Speaker "Big Boys Do Cry," and Founder CEO at Thrive Mental Health and Neurodiversity.


For the first time, Simon will be sharing his heartfelt ADHD diagnosis journey.


Simon brings 26 years of corporate IT experience, senior management wisdom, and a profound passion for mental health awareness and neurodiversity advocacy to the table. In this heartfelt and intimate conversation, Simon will be sharing the seven stages of late ADHD acceptance and the delay in winning it, the transformative power acceptance holds and how to never give up, no matter what your brain is telling you.


But that's not all! Carole Jean Whittington, your host and an expert in ADHD/Autistic burnout restoration, will introduce you to the Spicy Pepper Quiz to kickstart your burnout restoration journey along with a new MasterClass coming out later this month.
