What happens when ADHD goes undiagnosed until midlife or later? And how does it affect women as we age?

Thriving after 65 means embracing every part of who we are … including the parts that may have been overlooked or misunderstood for decades.

In this episode of Don’t Be Caged By Your Age, I’m joined by Diann Wingert - a former psychotherapist turned coach and unapologetic truth-teller - to talk about what it really means to discover, unmask, and embrace ADHD later in life.

Diann shares her journey of being diagnosed with ADHD in her 50s, and how it shed new light on her past and opened up possibilities for her future.
Together, we explore how ADHD impacts women as we age, the surprising role of estrogen, and why so many of us struggle with perfectionism, procrastination, and people-pleasing.

You’ll also hear:

• Why late-in-life ADHD diagnoses are more common than we think
• How aging can be an advantage when embracing neurodiversity
• Practical strategies to turn problems into possibilities
• What unapologetic ambition looks like after 60

This is a conversation about aging boldly, living authentically, and refusing to shrink as the years go by.
