29: ADHD, Visibility, and Showing Up Boldly

from Grown from Within Podcast · host Melissa Heckel | Branch Creative Co.

There is something powerful about realizing the way your mind works is not something to fix, but something to understand.In this episode, I sat down with Alicia Schumacher to talk about visibility, identity, and navigating life and business as neurodivergent women. Alicia shared how discovering her ADHD at 39 completely changed the way she understood herself, her work, and her purpose.So many women feel pressure to constantly perform online or show up a certain way to stay relevant, but this conversation was such a refreshing reminder that authentic visibility can look different for everyone. Sometimes it starts with simply trusting your voice enough to share it.We also talked about what Alicia calls the “second chapter” of life and business. That season where many women begin asking deeper questions beyond titles, achievements, and expectations. What do I actually want? What kind of impact do I want to make? What parts of myself have I been hiding just to fit into spaces that no longer feel aligned?If this episode resonates, consider it your reminder that the way your mind works is not something to hide or overcome. It may actually be the very thing that makes your voice, your story, and your impact so powerful.
