Could it be ADHD?

ADHD Journey with Peggy Cheyo - Late ADHD Diagnosis and Complete Career Change


Listen Later

Peggy Cheyo joins me this week to talk about her late diagnosis journey which for many of us AFAB women really came to light after having children. I loved this conversation with Peggy as there were so many similarities with my own ADHD journey and it’s always re-assuring to know that we’re actually amazing parents, we just had additional complexities to deal with!

Peggy is now a neurodivergent coach having spent a lot of her life as a teacher and transitioning to coaching with most of her clients now from the neurodivergent community.

In this episode we cover:

  • Undiagnosed ADHD as a new parent and the crossovers with Post Natal Depression
  • How diagnoses of depression and then seeking hypnotherapy led to her ADHD revelations
  • Peggy’s assessment experience
  • The importance of community support (check out ADHD UK’s support groups below)
  • How Autism and ADHD are misunderstood in children and how that can affect their education
  • How Peggy decided to take a career change and go into coaching which led her to working with neurodivergent families
  • The tools Peggy uses to calm her nervous system and stop the highs getting too high and the lows too low!
  • What Peggy loves about her ADHD
  • Great advice for people at the start of their ADHD journey
