BONUS: Katrina Ridley - “I’m in the club”: Life after ADHD diagnosis

In this bonus episode, Sam and Katie welcome back presenter Katrina Ridley, who joins them fresh from her ADHD assessment to share what happened next.

Before this episode, Katrina opened up about the uncertainty and self-doubt of waiting for a diagnosis. Now, she’s back with answers- and a new sense of clarity. From discovering she’s in the “top one percentile” of ADHD traits to finding pride in how far she’s come, Katrina reflects on what her diagnosis really means, the relief of having language for her experiences, and how medication has transformed her day-to-day life.

Together, they dig into the unexpected emotions of finally getting a diagnosis, the validation, the self-compassion, and the ripple effects on relationships, work and identity. Katrina also opens up about hormone cycles, imposter feelings, and how coaching helped her turn chaos into confidence.
