You’re Not Broken: Rewriting the Story of ADHD and menopause with Sam Williams ACC, CEng MIET

In this episode of Coach Class, I caught up with executive coach and chartered engineer Sam Williams, whose personal journey through late-diagnosed ADHD and perimenopause has redefined how she leads, coaches, and lives.What started as a 30-second BBC appearance turned into a profound moment of reflection for Sam—one that prompted her to confront long-held beliefs like “I’m lazy” or “I’m in decline.” Through coaching, curiosity, and compassion, she’s learned to rewrite these inner narratives and reclaim her identity on her own terms.Together, Sam and I explore:What Sam calls "belief admin"—and how it can unlock headspace for transformationThe hidden intersections of neurodivergence and hormonal changeHow we can reframe perimenopause as a “midlife software update” instead of a declineWhy building a relationship with yourself is foundational to resiliencePractical ways men can be better allies to the women in their livesWhether you’re navigating change, coaching others through it, or simply trying to make sense of your inner voice—this is a conversation full of insight, empathy, and empowerment.🔗 Links:Connect with Sam on LinkedInBBC Documentary Send us a text🎧 Listen now wherever you get your podcasts, and please rate or share if it resonated.
