Wondering if you might be neurodivergent? You're not alone. And in fact, many women are only diagnosed with conditions associated with neurodivergence, such as ADHD and autism. in midlife. Why is that? And what can you do if you find yourself with a diagnosis or suspect you many be neurodivergent? To answer these questions, I've asked Gail Seemann to the podcast. Gail is a counselor and coach, working with neurodivergent individuals, and she's also mother to a young-adult daughter diagnosed with autism and ADHD. She explains why ADHD and/or autism may only be diagnosed later in life for women, and how these conditions, compounded with changing hormones, can affect you during the menopause transition. I really enjoyed this conversation with Gail, and I hope you enjoy listening to it! Debbie Gail Seemann is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with over 22 years of experience working with patients of all ages who have been diagnosed with mild to severe levels of trauma and behavioral issues. And as mother of a now young-adult daughter who has been diagnosed with ADHD and Autism, Gail has a passion for working with others with similar diagnoses and their families. She’s recently added coaching services to this end, helping her clients move forward in their lives beyond therapy.

There’s one thing I do that gives me the highest feeling of health and well-being and calm... It's walking outdoors. And there are many reasons for this, which I share in this episode. If you’ve been listening to this podcast, you know that one of the best things you can do in midlife, for all your symptoms including weight gain, is to manage stress. And walking outside, through movement and nature, does that better than most anything else. There's so much value in a daily walking practice. And I believe we'd all feel better through this crazy time if we had one. That's why, in just a couple of weeks, I'll be launching a walking challenge... More about this in today's episode and in the coming days... Stay tuned! Enjoy! Debbie Thanks for listening!

All your relationships can be impacted by this transition into menopause. Including (and especially) the relationship with yourself. Like it or not, your body, mind, and emotions are being tossed about by this change. And then there are the relationships you have with your partner, kids, friends, and colleagues... The people around you will likely notice something's up. So how do you accept what's going on with you, and talk to others about it and feel supported? To answer that, I've invited Dr. Liz Jenkins to the podcast. Liz is a marriage and family therapist and a relationship coach, and in this episode, she's talking about that changing relationship with yourself and your body, as well as how to have those uncomfortable discussions with the people who care about you.

I really don't like the term, "time management" because,,, You can't actually manage time. Time goes on whether you like it or not. You can't control it. But you can manage what you do with your time. And that's where it gets tricky... You WANT to do certain things, but somehow they're not getting done. Because of unexpected interruptions, or distraction, or ... Because you just don't feel like it. So, how can you get the things done you WANT to get done, like lose weight, get fit, write a book, start a podcast,...? I've got a 3-step process for that, and also 2 essential skills you need to have to make those things happen. Enjoy the episode! Debbie P.S. I referred to the book "Four Thousand Weeks" by Oliver Burkeman in the episode. Check it out!
