About this episode

Sue Day discusses how neurodivergent individuals can find success and self-acceptance without masking their true selves.

You shouldn't have to fit a square peg through a round hole! Do you feel like a square peg constantly being forced into a hole you cannot fit through, no matter what? ADHD coach Sue Day joins us to explore how neurodivergent people can find structure, self-compassion, and success...without masking who they are. As the founder of Pathway Forward Coaching and a graduate of the ADHD Coaching Academy, Sue shares her personal journey with ADHD and how it shapes the way she works with clients across the neurodiversity spectrum. They dive into time blindness, executive function, and the emotional toll of trying to "fit in" at work. This episode is full of actionable insights and warmth for anyone trying to show up more fully as themselves.
