ADHD | Values & The Habit of Courage with Sue McLoughlin
ADHD | Values & The Habit of Courage
This is an earlier episode from Corporate to Calm but the message is even more relevant now through the ADHD lens.
Because when you’re neurodivergent, values misalignment doesn’t just feel uncomfortable…
It feels dysregulating.
In this episode, I speak with Sue McLoughlin, founder of Strive to Thrive, about change leadership, transformation and what happens when your corporate role no longer matches your core values.
Many ADHD women stay too long in environments that
• Drain their nervous system
• Clash with their ethics
• Ignore unconscious bias
• Reward masking over authenticity
Sue talks about bridging the gap between business needs and technical change but what struck me most was her decision to walk away from a significant values gap.
That’s not impulsivity.
That’s alignment.
And alignment is a habit.
When your habits don’t align with your values, you experience
⚡ Burnout
⚡ Frustration
⚡ Emotional dysregulation
⚡ Executive fatigue
When they do align, you build
✨ Confidence
✨ Sustainable leadership
✨ People-centric growth
✨ Nervous system safety
Sue’s people-first approach to Change & Transformation empowers organisations to evolve without losing the humans inside them.
And for ADHD professionals navigating change? That matters.
Sue has generously shared a powerful values tool to accompany the episode:

If you’re questioning your role, your direction, or your next move start with values.

Change isn’t just strategy.
For ADHD brains, it’s regulation, identity and alignment.
This episode is a reminder
You’re allowed to choose environments that match your values.
