Masking, Motherhood and ADHD: A Nurse’s Story with Jodie-Leigh
Revive & Thrive - Managing Stress and BurnoutShow Notes
In this episode I’m joined by Jodie, a nurse, a mum, and someone who has been on a powerful journey of rediscovering who she is after being diagnosed with ADHD. We talk honestly about what it was like for Jodie growing up and never fully understanding herself. We then move in to how she managed work, family life, and everything else that comes with being an adult, while also trying to make sense of her own mind and identity.
Our conversation moves through acceptance, masking who we really are to fit in, and the toll that can take when you’ve spent years trying to keep up or appear like you’ve got it all together. Jodie shares openly about the challenges she’s faced along the way, but also the understanding and pride that has come from learning more about herself.
This episode is about making sense of why we are the way we are, embracing the lessons that come from life’s challenges, and finding confidence in who we’ve become. It was such an honest and thoughtful conversation, and I’m really excited to share it with you.

This one’s a really powerful conversation. In this episode I sit down with Cathy, a weight loss coach, but honestly… this goes way beyond just food and weight. We get into the stuff that actually matters. Not just what you eat, but how it all links with your mindset, your nervous system, and the way you see yourself.
Most people think regulating their nervous system means calming down. Breathing slower. Meditating harder. Journalling more.
