Have you ever wondered why certain things at work feel so much harder for you than others—but easier for your peers? In this episode, I sit down with Rosie Arthey, a coach who specialises in working with neurodivergent adults in the workplace.

Rosie was diagnosed with ADHD in her early 40s, and what followed was a cascade of clarity, grief, and surprising self-compassion. Together, we unpack what it really feels like to receive a later-in-life diagnosis—whether it's ADHD, autism, or another form of neurodivergence—and how that affects work, confidence, and communication.

This episode is for you if:

• You’ve received (or suspect) a midlife diagnosis
• You manage someone who is neurodivergent
• You’re done with masking and ready to thrive

We also talk through the difference between tender and fierce self-compassion—and why both are essential if you want more joy at work.
