Dr. Fiona Peters is a renowned expert in the field of ADHD, but her journey to this point was not an easy one. Initially unfamiliar with the concept of ADHD, she was diagnosed with the condition later in life, prompting her to delve into research and gain a deeper understanding of herself and her symptoms. Despite numerous accomplishments, including successful training for organizations, writing a book, and earning a PhD, Dr. Peters often felt like an imposter, constantly plagued by feelings of inadequacy and self-doubt. These insecurities led her to make a career change and retrain as a secondary school teacher, working with students aged eleven to sixteen. However, her new job proved challenging due to sensory overload. The sights, sounds, and smells of the school overwhelmed her, making it difficult for her to perform her duties effectively. Mistakenly believing her symptoms were related to menopause, Dr. Peters sought medical advice, only to find that the overwhelm continued. Eventually, Dr. Peters took a couple of weeks off work to focus on her well-being. It was during this time that she received her ADHD diagnosis at the age of 52. With four children, two of whom were teenagers, Dr. Peters faced the challenge of managing her own condition while navigating the complexities of family life. Now at the age of 57, Dr. Fiona Peters has become a well-respected figure in the field of ADHD. Through her personal experiences and extensive knowledge, she aims to educate and support others living with the condition, advocating for greater understanding and acceptance.

๐ŸŽง Exciting news! I recently had the opportunity to be a guest on the "ADHD for Smart Ass Women" podcast with Tracy Otsuka! ๐ŸŽ™๏ธ In this episode, we discussed perfectionism, confidence, and ADHD with the amazing Dr. Fiona Peters. Here are three key takeaways from our conversation: 1๏ธโƒฃ Perfectionism is toxic: Many of us fear starting new things because we're afraid of making mistakes or facing criticism. But perfectionism only holds us back from personal growth. It's better to start imperfectly than not start at all! Let go of external validation and embrace self-acceptance. 2๏ธโƒฃ Prioritize your energy and productivity: As Tracy emphasized, understanding ourselves on a deep level is crucial. Surround yourself with positive influences, delegate tasks that drain your energy, and focus on what truly energizes and inspires you. Set clear goals from a place of fulfillment, not depletion, and embrace baby steps to achieve greatness. 3๏ธโƒฃ ADHD in women: It's important to recognize that ADHD in women is often under-researched and misunderstood. Many of us experience emotional dysregulation, imposter syndrome, anxiety, and perfectionism. Nevertheless, self-acceptance and learning to work within our strengths zone can change the game. Let's support and empower each other in overcoming these challenges. Don't miss out on this enlightening episode! Check it out now on the "ADHD for Smart Ass Women" podcast with Tracy Otsuka. And remember, your journey to self-acceptance and success starts with embracing imperfection. ๐ŸŒŸ๐Ÿ’ช #PodcastEpisode #ADHDforSmartAssWomen #Perfectionism #Confidence #ADHD #MindsetShift #SelfAcceptance #Empowerment #Productivity #LinkedInPost
