About this episode
What if the thing you’ve spent your whole life trying to “fix” is actually your superpower?
In this deeply personal episode, Kimberley opens up about something she’s never fully shared before being diagnosed with ADHD and autism as an adult while navigating motherhood, business, burnout, perfectionism and the pressure to keep it all together.
From feeling “different” as a child… to struggling with self-worth, hyper-fixation, comparison, relationships, and running multiple successful businesses this episode is an unfiltered look inside the mind of a beauty business owner with a “spicy brain.”
Kim shares:
- The emotional moment that led to her diagnosis
- How ADHD + autism actually show up in women
- The business superpowers no one talks about
- Why she chose not to medicate
- The hidden battle between hyper-productivity and burnout
- The mindset shifts helping her stop fighting herself
This episode will either deeply trigger you, deeply heal you… or both.
And if you’ve ever felt “too much,” “too emotional,” “too disorganised,” “too intense,” or like your brain works differently to everyone around you this conversation might change the way you see yourself forever.
