Episode 11: ADHD Coaching with Diane Jones

In this honest and eye-opening episode of The Coaching Corner Podcast, I’m joined by Diane Jones, an ADHD Coach supporting perimenopausal mums who feel like everything’s suddenly harder, foggier, and lonelier — and who just want to feel like themselves again (whoever that is now).

We explore the wild intersection of dopamine, ADHD and perimenopause — and how this trio can turn the simplest tasks into Everest-level challenges. Diane also opens up about what it means to parent and advocate for neurodivergent teens while navigating your own chaos, overstimulation, and exhaustion.

This one’s for the women carrying too much, questioning everything, and wondering if they’re the only ones struggling. (Spoiler: you’re not.)

💥 In this episode, we talk about:

What happens to dopamine during perimenopause and how it affects focus, motivation, and mood Why ADHD can go undiagnosed for decades — especially in women

The pressure on mums to hold it all together while advocating for their neurodivergent teens
