    How The Mace Energy Method Changed My ADHD World Forever

    Get in touch to see how I can help you! ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://giftedwithadhd.co.uk/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ In this very special episode of Gifted With ADHD, Juliet is interviewed by Helen Amery about how the mace energy method changed her ADHD experience forever. For the first time, we go deep into Juliet's life with ADHD, as she opens up about growing up in a difficult family environment. Both Helen and Juliet then explore the mace energy system, developed by John Mace, and how it helped them identify and deconstruct their negative identities. Connect With Helen Amery - https://wildfigsolutions.co.uk/ Learn about the mace energy method - https://www.causisminstitute.com/about/mace-energy-method/ ABOUT THE HOST: Juliet was diagnosed with ADHD at the age of 50, after a lifetime of believing she was fundamentally flawed—without realising there was a biological explanation behind her struggles. 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.

    Comparison and MEASURING Your Success With ADHD

    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 comparison and ADHD. Do you feel like you are constantly measuring your success in life against others? And that you fall victim to over-comparison and negative self talk? This episode helps you break apart this behaviour, allowing you to appreciate what you have in the moment! See how Missy can help by visiting her website - https://www.missymaioranocoaching.com/ Follow Missy on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/missymaiorano2/ ABOUT MISSY: Hi! I'm Missy Maiorano, Certified Change Coach. If you have found me, there is a good chance that you’ve been on a healing journey for a little while. Perhaps you’re suffering with chronic physical symptoms or the emotional sensations of anxiety, panic, or overwhelm. Please know that I deeply understand what that’s like because I have been there, too. During a lengthy battle with chronic hives and idiopathic angioedema (facial swelling), I found myself anxious, hopeless, and depressed. My world became very small. I tried everything to heal, but I was always left with a sense of, “I’m still not OK.” And then, I stumbled across a new understanding of who I am beyond a lifetime of unquestioned beliefs and stories. I saw that there was so much less to do than I ever imagined. As I began to un-learn decades of conditioning, I rediscovered the innate peace, joy, and wellbeing that were there all along. In the process of letting go of who I “should be” and how life “is supposed to unfold,” the barriers to true healing dissolved. If you’re ready to see the world of healing through a new lens, I’d love to offer my support. There’s so much to be remembered and rediscovered. It’s all already within you.
