Episode 206: Anchoring Your ADHD Creativity Alongside Imposter Syndrome with Louise Gooding
On this week's ADHD Women's Wellbeing 'Wisdom' episode, we revisit part of our conversation with proud ADHDer, neurodiversity advocate and author Louise Gooding.
Louise has written three books that celebrate neurodiversity and help children understand their wonderfully wired brains, including:
Just Like Me: 40 Neurologically and Physically Diverse People Who Broke Stereotypes
The Memory Book, a reassuring story about understanding dementia
Wonderfully Wired Brains, an introduction to the world of neurodiversity.
In this inspiring conversation, Louise shares how her late ADHD diagnosis unlocked her creativity and passion for storytelling, leading her to publish three books in just a few years. She opens up about the challenges of navigating an undiagnosed childhood, struggling within traditional education, and finally finding validation in her neurodivergence.
Here's What You'll Learn on This Week's Wisdom Episode:
✨ How Louise's ADHD diagnosis has opened up doors to creativity and given her permission to go back into education and write her books.
✨ Managing rejection sensitive dysphoria (RSD) and imposter syndrome as an author.
✨ The importance of writing books about neurodiversity, especially from a lived experience perspective.
✨ Finding your passion and using energy to feel good about yourself instead of bringing yourself down.
