In this powerful and deeply honest episode, I sit down with Kim as she shares her story of courage, growth, and starting over.

Kim opens up about receiving an ADHD diagnosis, growing up with a mother who experienced psychosis, and how those early life experiences shaped the way she learned to adapt, cope, and move through the world.

We talk about motherhood, emotional resilience, and the journey of understanding what you truly want from life. Kim shares how, at the age of 40, she made the brave decision to leave her career in law and begin again by starting a marketing apprenticeship.

Today, she successfully runs her own business, helping other women in business grow with confidence and clarity.

This episode is raw, emotional, and deeply empowering. Kim’s openness reminds us that life’s struggles can often bring us back to what truly matters. Her story is a beautiful reminder that it is never too late to change direction, start again, and build a life that feels more aligned with who you are.

In today’s episode of Power to Her, I’m joined by the wonderful Harriet, who shares her powerful journey through hysterectomy, menopause, motherhood, ADHD, and learning to become truly herself.

Harriet opens up about what it was like to go through a hysterectomy and navigate menopause, not just physically, but emotionally too. She shares how that experience shaped her, changed her, and eventually led her to support and coach other women through their own journeys.

We also talk about receiving an ADHD diagnosis later in life, and the clarity that can come when you finally start to understand yourself in a different way. Harriet shares what it is like parenting children with ADHD, the challenges, the lessons, and the moments that have helped her grow as both a mother and a woman.

This episode is about so much more than diagnosis or life changes. It is about identity. It is about self-acceptance. It is about letting go of who you thought you had to be, and learning to show up as who you really are.

Harriet’s story is honest, empowering, and full of wisdom for any woman who is navigating change, motherhood, menopause, or simply trying to understand herself better.

This is a beautiful reminder that becoming authentically yourself is not always easy, but it is always worth it.
