My guest today is Shauna Pearson.

Shauna is the founder of Expert ADHD Coaching.

the largest one-on-one ADHD coaching practice in the world, and author of the new book, Invisible ADHD.

With more than 450,000 coaching sessions delivered, her work combines neuroscience, lived experience, and a deep understanding of how meaning fractures when effort goes unseen.

Shana's story begins with ADHD she didn't realize she had, and a question many people carry quietly for years.

Why can't I just?

To millions of people, ADHD expresses itself through overwhelm, emotional intensity, difficulty sustaining focus, and chronic self-doubt.

Research suggests that up to 75% of women with ADHD go undiagnosed.

often receiving labels that never quite explain their lived experience.

Today's conversation centers on mattering.

What happens when your internal reality is finally named accurately and how meaning begins to return when you can learn to work with your mind instead of pushing against it.

In today's conversation, we explore why ADHD presents differently in women

how years of misunderstanding shape identity and self-trust, what sustaining support looks like beyond medication alone, and how doing less with intention restores clarity and momentum.

Before we begin, a quick note.

This episode connects closely with the work I'm doing around inherent worth visibility, which reminds us that significance exists before performance ever enters the picture.
