Michelle has spent the last two years interviewing incredible women on the She Who Dares Wins podcast, but today she steps behind the mic solo for the Season 4 finale. After spending a decade navigating the chaotic, male-dominated world of construction as a freelance engineer—while simultaneously juggling side hustles like filmmaking, a plumbing chemical business, and a clothing line—she thought she was just naturally wired for chaos.But a life of extreme chaos isn't without its mental hurdles. From masking her emotions as a child to living constantly in a "fight or flight" mode to survive moving from project to project, she was unknowingly chasing dopamine. After facing severe burnout that landed her in the hospital and navigating the intense imposter syndrome of quitting her safety-net job to go full-time with her podcast, she realized she could no longer ignore her struggles. Just two weeks ago, she received an official ADHD diagnosis, a revelation that is incredibly common for women in their 40s experiencing hormonal shifts.Now, she is laying it all out there. It is a deeply personal account of her time in construction, the exhausting reality of masking, and how what many label an "ADHD superpower" can actually be the exact thing driving you to absolute burnout. It takes listeners on a journey into why our brains chase shiny new objects, the reality of double-checking everything out of a paralyzing fear of failure, and the immense relief of finally understanding how your mind works.In this episode, we delve into Michelle's official diagnosis and what it has taught her. We discuss her transition from film school to a construction site, how she navigated being the only woman on the job, the moment she realized she was burning out, and the exciting new "doubting to daring" format launching in Season 5.✨ IN THIS EPISODE:00:00 Introduction to the Season 4 Finale and a personal update04:15 Childhood masking and surviving school as the "funny one"10:30 Film school in LA to surviving a baptism of fire in construction16:45 Chasing dopamine: side hustles, chemical businesses, and fight-or-flight mode23:20 The reality of being the only female engineer on site and battling imposter syndrome30:10 Navigating motherhood, severe burnout, and the hospital visit that changed everything34:50 Sacking the safety net, going all-in on the podcast, and facing self-doubt39:15 The assessment process and the profound relief of a late ADHD diagnosis45:30 What's next: Season 5, Dare Club, and moving from "doubting to daring"

Most libraries lend out books. The Human Library lends out people. Founded in Denmark, the global initiative gives people the chance to sit down with a "human book" and have a candid conversation that challenges assumptions and stereotypes through lived experience. One of those human books is Sean Kemball from Whangarei. Diagnosed with ADHD later in life, he spent years wondering why he experienced the world differently from those around him. Receiving a diagnosis helped him make sense of challenges that had followed him since childhood and gave him a new understanding of himself. Through conversations in the Human Library, he shares what it's like to live with ADHD and what changed once he finally had answers.

After experiencing a number of illness when he was 2 years old going into the spring of 2025, Caitlyn and CJ Jennings thought that their beloved son Brooks was experiencing normal illnesses that many toddlers may experience. Unfortunately that was not the case. Brooks was diagnosed with a Fusion Mesenchymal Tumor that was located in his lung and then spread to his Pelvic Bone. Brooks continued to feel well until August of last year when his health went downhill, leading to his passing on October 25th of 2025.

Why do so many autistic and ADHD girls grow up believing they're simply "too much," anxious, or broken? In this episode, I sit down with licensed marriage and family therapist, author, and neurodiversity advocate Jamie Roberts @neurodivergenttherapist to talk about why autism and ADHD so often go undiagnosed in girls, how masking hides neurodivergence, and what changes when people finally receive answers later in life. We also explore the overlap between neurodivergence, eating disorders, anxiety, body image, and identity, along with what true neurodivergent-affirming care can look like. What You'll Learn Jamie shares her own journey to a late diagnosis of autism and ADHD and explains why so many girls first receive diagnoses like anxiety or depression instead of having their neurodivergence recognized. We discuss perfectionism, people-pleasing, masking, sensory differences, and why many neurodivergent girls become experts at hiding their struggles. We also talk about healing your inner teen, embracing authenticity after years of masking, and learning that taking up space is not something you have to earn. Jamie explains why neurodiversity-affirming therapy focuses on understanding rather than changing who someone is, and why autonomy, identity, and self-acceptance matter so much for long-term well-being. We Also Discuss How autism and ADHD often present differently in girls Why anxiety and depression can mask underlying neurodivergence The emotional impact of receiving a late autism diagnosis Masking, perfectionism, and people-pleasing Healing your inner teen after years of feeling misunderstood The relationship between neurodivergence, body image, and eating disorders Why compliance-based approaches can harm neurodivergent people Universal Design and creating environments that work for everyone Jamie's new book, Neurodiversity for Teen Girls. About Jamie Roberts Jamie Roberts, LMFT, is a licensed marriage and family therapist, speaker, and author specializing in neurodivergent-affirming mental health care for teens and young adults. She is the founder of Neuropebble, a neuroaffirming clinical training platform, and Equilibrium Counseling Services.

There is a question that only surfaces during the hard seasons.When things are going well, you never have to ask it. The wins answer it for you.

In this video, I open up about why I chose to use my narcissistic personality disorder diagnosis to help people instead of hiding it.

What do you do when you're 31, just bought your first house, and hear the words "you have breast cancer"? In this powerful episode, Jen sits down with Jessica Slocumb — a nearly nine-year breast cancer survivor, prevention advocate, and the heart behind the Instagram community @breast.friends_united. Jessica shares the moment everything changed, from feeling a lump while getting ready for work to the radiating pain she believes was God telling her to get checked. We talk about her stage 2, estrogen- and HER2-positive diagnosis, five rounds of chemo, a double mastectomy, and the year of HER2 infusions that followed — plus the honest, messy, in-between parts no one prepares you for. Jessica opens up about the testimony she received on her front stoop, the question her oncologist couldn't answer ("what caused this?"), and how that one unanswered question sent her on a journey to research the lifestyle, environmental, and wellness factors so often left out of the conversation. This conversation is for any woman who's newly diagnosed, in the thick of treatment, or trying to reduce her risk — and for anyone who loves someone walking this road. In this episode we cover: Finding a lump at 31 and why she almost skipped the mammogram Her full treatment path: chemo, double mastectomy, tissue expanders, and recalled implants The "we don't know what causes cancer" answer that changed everything Small, doable swaps to reduce everyday toxic burden — laundry detergent, skincare, food, candles, and water Why diet and going organic were her first changes (glyphosate, grass-fed, pasture-raised) The 28-day study on switching to non-toxic products and breast cancer gene expression Childhood trauma, nervous system regulation, and why stress is part of healing How cancer reshaped her relationships — and the wisdom her husband gave her Releasing the fear of recurrence and living fully anyway Her message for the woman hearing "you have breast cancer" tonight "God takes our ashes and turns them to beauty. This is only a season — your world is not over." Connect with Jessica: Instagram: @breast.friends_united A note: This episode is for education and encouragement, not medical advice. Always work with your own care team on decisions about screening, treatment, and prevention. If this episode moved you, share it with a woman who needs it today — someone is sitting alone in her diagnosis right now, and your share might be the thing that reaches her.

Lauren shares what has shifted since receiving her ADHD diagnosis, including the grief, relief, self-compassion, and unexpected freedom that came with finally understanding how her brain works. Nicole reflects on returning to nursing, beginning a Master's in Counselling Psychology, and navigating the tension between unmet expectations and trusting that no experience is ever truly wasted.We also explore the realities of parenting neurodivergent children, making difficult medical decisions, advocating for our kids, and learning to loosen our grip on identities that no longer fit.

A tangled ball of spaghetti. That's how aspiring therapist Rebecca Gonzalez-Ojeda describes her ADHD brain. Diagnosed with ADHD in fifth grade, Rebecca grew up hearing messages to “just try harder” while struggling with school and self-esteem. It felt like giving 110% still wasn't enough.  Rebecca reflects on painful IEP meetings, discouraging comments from teachers, and the emotional drain of being misunderstood for years. She also shares what it was like “raw-dogging” life after losing access to treatment, then getting re-diagnosed with ADHD after college — and how ADHD medication changed her life.

Labs normal. Hormones in range. Physically healthy by every measurable standard. And yet something is quietly, persistently wrong. If you've ever sat across from a doctor feeling dismissed because you couldn't point to a test result that matched how you felt — this episode is for you. I share the story of a client whose symptoms had nothing to do with her body and everything to do with her life. The career she'd outgrown. The relationships that had slowly diminished her. The small daily ways she had been living at odds with her own values for so long she'd stopped noticing. What she was experiencing wasn't a medical problem. It was an alignment problem. I introduce a concept that might be the missing piece for a lot of women listening: integrity pain — the quiet, cumulative cost of living a life that doesn't fit who you actually are. Naming it isn't dramatic. It's the beginning of something better. Want to keep going?

Diagnosed with juvenile myoclonic epilepsy as a child, she refused to be defined by it. For 45 years she mastered her condition through unwavering commitment to clean food, restorative sleep, mindfulness, and inner sovereignty. This wasn't mere management—it was her superpower, a disciplined daily practice that kept her grounded and vibrant. An outsider by choice and circumstance, she lived openly and trustingly. But that openness was brutally exploited. In April 2020, on the patio of an acquaintance named Marty - a James Beard-nominated chef connected to a network that was targeting her through sophisticated grooming tactics - Allison was drugged with at least four substances. She lost ten harrowing hours to ritualistic horror: violation, strangulation, hazing, and terror orchestrated by a sophisticated, organized network. Yet even in that altered state, her decades of biofeedback training activated. While her body appeared unconscious, her consciousness remained hyperaware. Piece by piece, Allison gracefully reconstructed her truth and healing the same way she managed her epilepsy growing up.Allison's awakening turned personal devastation into fierce purpose. She watched brave whistleblowers step forward only to face targeting, financial desperation, illness, and silencing: These stories ignited a righteous anger in Allison. She realized disclosure isn't just dramatic testimonies - it is everyday survivors like her speaking out, and it demands community protection. There is no witness protection for these crimes. Society often blames victims, dismisses their stories as too outrageous, or changes the channel because the darkness is uncomfortable. Allison challenges us to do something - share, like, comment, donate five dollars instead of a coffee, offer a skill, send encouragement. In her own words: “Do what you can, but do something.” Her own story reveals how insidious and organized the darkness is. Allison was not born into a multi-generational cult family - an important truth that shows anyone can be hunted and lured. Yet she refuses silence. Her testimony is unique yet unifying - detailing not only the horror, but her path of remembering, healing protocols drawn from a lifetime of self-mastery, and her battle cry for community accountability. She demands we stop losing children through these corrupt systems, that we surround survivors, amplify their voices, and create real support so no one faces this alone.Allison embodies the rarest heroism: quiet, relentless, and transformative. She proves survival is not passive endurance but active rising - speaking, organizing, and loving the vulnerable more fiercely because she knows the cost. Rooted in inner discipline, awareness, and unyielding courage, she has become a force of justice and healing. Even while still at risk, her light shines undimmed.Allison continues to shine as a beacon of hope, proving that courage multiplied by truth can overcome any darkness. The world is forever brighter, stronger, and more compassionate because she chose to rise and speak. Her legacy is not one of victimhood, but of triumphant, unbreakable light that invites every soul to join her in building a safer, more awakened world.WATCH ALLISON'S PART 1: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kCgKSfDJ4nsCONNECT WITH ALLISON:Donate on Buy Me a Coffee: https://buymeacoffee.com/allison1776X: https://x.com/AdamsAllis94140CONNECT WITH EMMA:YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@imaginationpodcastofficialRumble: https://rumble.com/c/TheImaginationPodcastEMAIL: imagineabetterworld2020@gmail.com OR standbysurvivors@protonmail.comMy Substack: https://emmakatherine.substack.com/BUY ME A COFFEE: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/theimaginationVENMO: @emmapreneurCASHAPP: $EmmaKatherine1204All links: https://direct.me/theimaginationpodcastSupport the show

She has spent more than 15 years working with high-achieving neurodivergent women, and she is the owner and clinical director of the Neurodiversity Care Center in Los Angeles.Diagnosed with ADHD in her 40s, and someone medication never worked for, Kristen has built her practice around the quiet cost of high performance, especially for women moving through perimenopause.

In this episode, Leigh Ann welcomes Diana Salcido to share her deeply personal story of being diagnosed with stage 3C colon cancer after nearly a year of symptoms, medical dismissal, panic, abdominal pain, and an inner knowing that something was wrong. Diana walks listeners through the frightening path to diagnosis, including ER visits, being told she was simply anxious or constipated, an eventual bowel obstruction, emergency surgery, and the discovery that the cancer had spread to four lymph nodes. She also shares the complications that followed, including a leak, a second emergency surgery, an ileostomy, severe weight loss, pleural effusion, abscesses, additional surgery, and the loneliness of healing from injuries and trauma that others could not always see. Diana and Leigh Ann discuss the emotional toll of cancer, the difficulty of making treatment decisions amid conflicting medical opinions, and Diana's choice to pursue an integrative path guided by body intuition, discernment, and personalized support. The conversation explores the physical, emotional, and spiritual layers of healing, including trauma work, faith, rest, sunlight, diet changes, supplements, acupuncture, frequency therapies, and learning when to pivot based on what the body is communicating.Product Discount Codes + LinksHoolest: Website (Discount Code: THEACCRESCENT10)Froya Hair Care: Website (Link gives 10% off)Herbal Face Food: Website (Discount Code: LAL30)The Fullest: Website (discount code: LEIGH15)Episode LinksDiana's GoFundMeRelated EpisodesEp. 228: Dr. Lori Bouchard - The Missing Pieces in Cancer Care, Metabolism, Trauma, and Whole-Person HealingEp. 176: Leigh Ann Lindsey - How I Work with Cancer Patients to Address Emotional Root Causes to DiseaseWork w/Leigh AnnLearn: What is EVOX Therapy?Book: Schedule a Session or FREE Discovery CallMembership: What is The Healing Alchemy MembershipConnect w/Me & Learn MoreWebsiteInstagramTiktokYoutube

Diagnosed with Juvenile Myoclonic Epilepsy as a child, Allison was not defined by her condition - she mastered it. For 45 years, this practice became her anchor: a disciplined dance of food, sleep, mindfulness, and inner sovereignty. It wasn't just medicine. It was her superpower.Her days were filled with simple joys - gym friendships, hiking through the woods, lunch dates, and the deep sharing that comes with genuine connection. She befriended a woman at the gym, and never imagining that warmth and trust would be weaponized against her. For two years, she was stalked and targeted by those who used personal details against her. Then, in April 2020, came the unthinkable. On the patio of an acquaintance, she was drugged - believed to be with at least four different substances - and plunged into ten missing hours. What followed was a nightmare of ritualistic horror: terror, violation, strangulation, and hazing at the hands of a sophisticated network.Yet here is where Allison's light refused to be extinguished.Even in that drugged state, her decades of biofeedback training awakened. While her body appeared unconscious, her mind remained hyper-aware - an observer in the storm. In the months and years that followed, she patiently gathered fragments: clues, memories, internal knowing. Piece by piece, she reconstructed her truth. A woman who had spent her life managing epilepsy with grace turned that same mastery toward survival and healing. She refused to let the trauma erase her. Instead, she transformed it into purpose.She stands today as living proof that the human spirit, when anchored in practiced awareness and unyielding courage, can transcend even the most depraved evil. In a world quick to silence victims, Allison chose the opposite: she chose to speak. Her voice rises not just for herself, but powerfully for the children - the ones drugged with memory-erasing substances, who have no reference point, no adult resilience, no framework to understand the violation. That compassion, that fierce maternal fire for the innocent, reveals the true depth of her character.Allison's story is a rallying cry. She is still in danger. She knows the risks of going public. She has watched whistleblowers step forward only to be targeted and silenced. Yet she will not be deterred. She is demanding accountability from her community. She is calling for safety nets - shelter, support, protection - for those brave enough to expose darkness. Her message is clear and urgent: “Do what you can - but do something.”Allison embodies the rarest kind of heroism: the quiet, relentless kind. The kind that turns personal hell into collective awakening. She reminds us that survival is not merely enduring—it is rising, speaking, organizing, and loving the vulnerable more fiercely because you know what it costs. She is proof that even after the worst humanity can offer, one woman rooted in decades of inner discipline can become a force for justice and healing.CONNECT WITH ALLISON: Donate on Buy Me a Coffee: https://buymeacoffee.com/allison1776X: https://x.com/AdamsAllis94140CONNECT WITH EMMA:YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@imaginationpodcastofficialRumble: https://rumble.com/c/TheImaginationPodcastEMAIL: imagineabetterworld2020@gmail.com OR standbysurvivors@protonmail.comMy Substack: https://emmakatherine.substack.com/BUY ME A COFFEE: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/theimaginationVENMO: @emmapreneurCASHAPP: $EmmaKatherine1204All links: https://direct.me/theimaginationpodcastSupport the show
