Episode 193 with Drew Turner.
“I was doing everything to make others happy, and then I wasn’t happy. A lot of that comes from ADHD and being empathetic, but ultimately it does a real disservice.”
Drew Turner lives near Austin, Texas, and was diagnosed with ADHD at the age of 29. Drew’s diagnosis completely changed her understanding of herself and gave her an opportunity to rewrite her personal narrative from one of self-doubt, exhaustion, and shame to one of resilience, ambition, and empowerment.
After getting laid off from a leadership training position at Tesla, Drew was suddenly tasked with managing the fear, overwhelm, curiosity, and uncertainty that come with exploring new career opportunities, all while determining what would be most helpful for her ADHD.
We talk about the many ways ADHD shaped Drew's life, and how she’s learning to forge a path that aligns with her authentic self. And Drew now coaches other women in leadership who are ready to break through their own internal barriers, transform their doubts, and lead with genuine confidence.
