Free To Be

Free To Be

One cold Wednesday, the last of my natural confidence vanished. Although successful professionally, a shocking personal twist of fate left me doubting my abilities and my identity. I was broken. At 16 I was identified at gifted, at 21 I was a board director, by 35 flourishing in HR with clients like Coca Cola, Deakin Uni and government. But by 45 I’d added DV and homelessness. Cue the cold Wednesday. Coaching thousands of exceptional, busy humans to peak performance has taught me that while our stories and talents are spectacularly unique, the hurdles that stop us are shockingly common. And surmountable. So how is it that some seem FREE TO BE while others long to be? FREE TO BE is an indulgent opportunity to ask my extraordinary guests how they’ve managed it. And to share the best of what I’ve learned, with you. I'm grateful to have you with me. Because your life is yours to live. Don’t we all deserve to be FREE TO BE?

    One Mum's ADHD Diagnosis & New Career

    In this episode of Free to Be, I sit down with ADHD Coach Caroline Beresford to explore the reality of growing up with ADHD—and the impact it can have on self-belief and identity. 🌱 What surprised me most? The encouragement deficit many young people with ADHD face, compared to their peers. This lack of positive reinforcement, often starting in childhood, can feed into a lifetime of self-doubt, but it doesn’t have to stay that way. Caroline opens up about her own journey with ADHD, sharing how she’s turned her lived experience into a powerful career path, helping others break free from the limitations imposed by outdated narratives. If you’re looking for real, relatable insight into how ADHD affects not just focus, but confidence, this episode is for you. Tune in for an eye-opening conversation that might just change the way you view ADHD—and yourself. 🔥 Much love, Cath 🎧   Follow the FREE TO BE Podcast on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/freetobe.thepodcast/   Follow ME On LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/nolancatherine/ On Insta: https://www.instagram.com/ms.catherine.nolan Website: https://cathnolan.com/   My book, The Did Great Habit is out now: https://www.amazon.com.au/Great-Did-Habit-Confidence-Strength/dp/1716493773   Take the conversation deeper in the Corporate Goddess Facebook Group www.facebook.com/groups/corporategoddess/   Have you left a review for our new podcast?
