Addiction, Spirituality and ADHD - Breaking through Alcoholism with Hamish Niven

Get in touch to see how I can help you! https://giftedwithadhd.co.uk/ In this episode of Gifted with ADHD, Juliet talks with Hamish Niven, Host of The Brave Man Project podcast and thought coach. They discuss Hamish's crippling addiction, which resulted in total burnout, and his prevailing recovery and soul-searching through spirituality. Have you ever felt that ADHD is sending you into a negative spiral? This podcast will inspire you to seek help. About Hamish: Hamish Niven spent twenty-five years filming and photographing other people's lives whilst avoiding his own. Professional, reliable, creative - the man who always showed up. Yet all a performance. When addiction brought him down, he didn't find recovery. He found the man buried alive by his own competence. Provocative and deeply honest, The Brave Man Project is for men who know that behind "I'm fine," something is quietly falling apart. The strategies that build an empire are often the ones that bury the man who built it. Every conversation cuts past the story into the emotions underneath - because when another man names the feelings you've never said out loud, you realise you're not alone. If he got out, so can you. These are the conversations no one else is having with you.

Years of executive dysfunction, perimenopause, and rising anxiety had left her overwhelmed and questioning her own potential. Her diagnosis marked a turning point. She immersed herself in understanding ADHD and, in doing so, discovered something even more transformative: a spiritual perspective on what it means to be human. Through this lens, Juliet was able to release limiting identities shaped by five decades of misunderstanding herself. She learned how to navigate emotions—like anxiety—with greater ease. She has two-years training in counselling and now has an established coaching practice supporting adults. Blending practical strategies with grounded spirituality, Juliet helps her clients find clarity, inner peace, and the confidence to live their life with purpose to reach their full potential and thrive with ADHD.
