Im a lawyer, not a doctor, a lifelong learner, and a certified ADHD coach. Im on a mission to change the conversation around ADHD because I believe its time to focus on the strengths that come with our unique brains. When I was diagnosed eight months after my son, my entire life finally made sense, yet all I read and heard about ADHD focused on what I should struggle with. What I discovered, though, was that my ADHD was responsible for some of my greatest strengths.**Another thing we constantly hear is all the success stories about ADHD men, but no one talks about the women. This podcast is here to change that. ADHD women are my people, and Im here to acknowledge, support, and cheer them on.

EP. 368: This Is What Alignment Feels Like with Clare Adams
Wednesday, 21 January, 2026
Tired of ADHD strategies that don’t work? Here’s what actually does. FREE training here: https://programs.tracyotsuka.com/signup_____What if the most ADHD-friendly “plan” is simply following what lights you up?In this episode, we’re talking with Clare Adams, a British-Canadian artist, poet, community builder, and humanity advocate who was diagnosed with ADHD at 50, after both of her kids were identified. Clare’s story is full of movement and reinvention: 24 moves, a career that spans law, healthcare, finance, airline operations, marketing, and fundraising, plus a strong pull toward creativity, connection, and service. She also shares how her diagnosis first brought grief and a fix-it mindset, and what helped her come back to self-trust.We get into what changes when you stop treating ADHD like a trade-off and start seeing the “good and bad” inside the same trait, why supportive environments matter more than willpower, and why connection isn’t optional for long-term wellbeing. Clare also shares the real-world workarounds she relies on (including “racing the kettle”), the phrase that stops her perfection spiral, and the meaning behind “pretirement,” her choice to build a values-led life now instead of waiting for later. If you’ve ever felt pulled between who you are and who the world wants you to be, this episode will feel like a deep exhale.Resources: Website: www.compassionartcreations.ca Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/61565941119375/ LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/CompassionartCreations Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/compassionartcreationsWebsite: www.fishslapbooks.ca Send a Message: Your Name | Email | Message If this podcast helps you understand your ADHD brain, Shift helps you train it.
