Trigger Warning: Themes of mental health and suicide

On this week's podcast episode we sit down with Kirsty Collin, Global Head of CRM at Gleeds, who talks about her path from undiagnosed ADHD and dyscalculia to global client listening leader and Lead of Women at Gleeds. Grief, burnout, boxing and everyday kindness shape Kirsty's story and ongoing resilience.

We dive into the love and loss of her partner Ben, the diary entry that changed how she shows up for strangers and the choice to tell her story so others feel less alone. She unpacks burnout that was misdiagnosed as depression and the practical moves that helped her.

What to Expect:
• Kirsty's ADHD and dyscalculia story
• Navigating grief and healing 
• Turning hardships into a positive 
• Burnout misdiagnosed and neurodivergent signals
• The effects of menopause with ADHD
• Launching Women at Gleeds and building ally culture
• Boxing wins, TV nerves, and showing up as yourself
