This podcast episode features Emily Whelden, who serves as the Director of Legal Programming and one of the team coaches at Dixon Life Coaching. Her coaching practice primarily focuses on lawyers with ADHD and other high achievers, though she also specializes in the intersection of ADHD and chronic health conditions. Emily is a graduate of the Wellcoaches core program and their professional coach training program, bringing a unique blend of legal experience and personal insight into neurodiversity and chronic health challenges to her work. Her compassionate and empathetic approach is deeply rooted in her own experiences and professional background.

Before transitioning to coaching, Emily was a practicing attorney for approximately six years, notably working as a court-appointed legal guardian for individuals with intellectual disabilities, profound mental health challenges, or cognitive decline. This role, which involved making healthcare and financial decisions based on her clients' personal values, instilled in her a person-focused approach that she now applies to coaching, emphasizing client autonomy and empowerment. Her shift to coaching was prompted by her own ADHD diagnosis at age 31 and the flaring of chronic health conditions, which led her to seek coaching herself and ultimately pursue it as a career to help others.
