    Overcoming Overwhelm, Anxiety and Depression With Missy Maiorano

    Get in touch to see how I can help you! ⁠https://giftedwithadhd.co.uk/⁠ In this episode of Gifted With ADHD, Juliet talks with Missy Maiorano, certified change coach, about all things overwhelm. They explore anxiety, depression and even touch on the spiritual. If you've ever suffered from an overactive mind, this episode will give you some tips into unpacking and liberating your mind. GUEST BIO: Hi! My name is Missy Maiorano and I am a Certified Change Coach with a passion for helping people who suffer with chronic or acute physical symptoms as well as issues with anxiety, depression, or overwhelm. I was drawn to coaching after a lengthy season of suffering with chronic hives and idiopathic angioedema, along with extreme anxiety, panic, and depression. Before becoming certified myself, I sought advice from more traditional therapists than I can count. Thankfully, I just sort-of “fell into” a whole new understanding of life that opened my eyes and my heart to something so much deeper. Today, I coach full-time from this deeper and MUCH lighter understanding of who we are and how Life unfolds. My work with clients and groups is more of an “unlearning” and an “uncovering.” Together, we see what is stable, timeless, and innate beneath the veils of cultural conditioning and learned concepts. The experience of Life becomes freer, lighter, and much more expansive.

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.
