Grieving the “What If” Of Late Diagnosed ADHD - Guest Episode with Sarah Sunstrom (Photography)

On this episode, Alex sits down with Sarah Sunstrom, who spent decades wondering why everything felt just a little harder than it looked for everyone else. She built a successful photography business, burned out four times, managed anxiety, hormones, three kids, a studio, five employees, and still didn't have an answer.... When she was nearly 40, she finally got her answer, a diagnosis of ADHD.In this episode, we're talking about the grief that comes with a late diagnosis (and the "what if" that follows it), four burnout cycles and what they actually looked like, sensory overload and parenting while dysregulated, how hormones make an impact, and what it felt like when her brain got quiet for the first time.Connect with Sarah:@sarahsunstromphotography@gildedkeytravelConnect with Boldly Wired:@boldlywiredpodFollow on SubstackMore details and show notes can be found here.Boldly Wired is not created by a licensed doctor, therapist, or mental health professional.
