1-2-1 coaching
Discovering that you are neurodivergent later in life can be a confusing and lonely path to walk alone - so it's a good job you don’t have to do this solo!
A deep dive coaching series for late-diagnosed neurodivergent midlifers who are ready to stop struggling with executive function and start working with their brains - not against them.
You know what you need to do. So why the hell can’t you *just* do it?
​
You’ve got ideas and plans. Big ones. A business you actually care about. A career that feels good. A life full of joy. You want to get things done, but somehow, the wheels keep spinning, and before you know it, you’re lost in a weird combo of procrastination and panic.
​
-
Plans? What plans? They disappeared somewhere between scrolling TikTok and deep-diving into a random new hobby
-
Your to-do list is the length of a novel, and yet, somehow, none of the important stuff gets done
-
Every decision feels like an existential crisis and you feel 100% responsible for everything and everyone, all the time.
-
You’re stuck in a loop of burnout, avoidance, and beating yourself up for not being “better.”
You’ve tried all the planners, productivity hacks, and accountability methods. They work for a bit… until they don’t. And then you think: "well, obviously, I’m just a disaster person who can’t function. It's me, I'm the problem" - cue the spiral into overthinking, shame, and self-doubt.
​
Here’s the truth: You don’t need more willpower or better organisational skills. You need a way or working (of being) that actually works for your neurodivergent brain.
​
What if getting sh*t done wasn’t a constant battle?
Advice to Neurodivergent folks often sounds like: Just try harder and do the thing!
But if you’re an ADHDer, have Autism or even the wonderful contradicting combo that is AuDHD, then that way of thinking is more than likely going to end up with you feeling more frustrated, stuck and overwhelmed because trying harder is not the answer for you.
​
This coaching flips the script.
Instead of forcing yourself into neurotypical productivity models, we focus on what actually makes action possible - nervous system regulation, the right resources, and clear intentions.
When those are in place, action stops feeling like a battle and starts feeling possible.
Here's how it works
First things first - I'm not a guru on the mountain with a big book of secrets to share or "one weird trick" that is suddenly going to undo years (decades even) of deep seated toxic productivity and hustle culture thinking. Sorry, but there is no magic bullet.
What I do have are tools, resources, practices and rituals (so, a little bit of magic) to support you in deepening your understanding; warming up your self acceptance and exploring self expression so you can ultimately find true belonging.
​
There are three key elements to this new way of being...
regulate
If your nervous system is all over the place, your brain is not going to cooperate. We start by:
​
-
Spotting your stress patterns and executive function roadblocks
-
Building a regulation toolkit (not just deep breathing - actual strategies that work for you)
-
Learning how to shift out of overwhelm and shutdown in the moment
resource
You don’t have a too lazy or too stupid to get things done kind of problem - You have a resourcing problem. Together we’ll:
-
Figure out where your time, energy, and attention are disappearing
-
Put actual systems in place (ones that work with your brain, not against it)
-
Design ways of working and being that match your energy levels, not some mythical “perfect” version of yourself
intention
Having a regulated nervous system and the right resources is great - but are they actually being used where they need to be? This phase is all about:
-
Clearing distractions and breaking the cycle of avoidance
-
Setting and protecting priorities (without guilt or perfectionism)
-
Using decision-making frameworks that stop overthinking in its tracks

The testimonials
June
Sadie is a very supportive and intuitive coach and just seemed able to tap into what I needed most from our time together .
Sadie was able to meet me where I am and also encourage me to take some steps out of my comfort zone in order to head in the direction of where I want to be, as a business owner and as a creative person
Ruth
If you are on the treadmill and hanker to reconnect but you are not sure what with or how, gives Sadie a go. She'll gently but firmly support you to explore different planes with her own blend of beautiful yet practical magic.
You'll become a nice person again - in your own eyes and other people's.
Life should be all about curiosity and experimentation.
Sadie will teach you how to both live in the moment and widen your perspective.
Kate
Sadie is warm, encouraging and fun!
She wasn't afraid to give me a bit of challenge too, which really helped me shift my long term view that being actively creative was not for me.
​
Sadie's follow up by Voxer and email was amazing, as she kept me accountable through the process of taking my creativity and using it to create a 90 day plan for my business.
Why this works (when everything else hasn't)
Most productivity coaching expects you to force yourself into a rigid system. That doesn’t work for neurodivergent brains.
​​This coaching works with you, not against you. Alongside personalised coaching, you’ll get bespoke tools and resources, such as:
Custom Executive Function strategies that actually fit your brain. We’ll explore the different elements that make up executive function - and why these can be up to 30% reduced in neurodivergent brains. Then we’ll co-create practical, personalised strategies that align with how your brain works, leaning into your strengths and unique needs. No one-size-fits-all nonsense here.
Decision-making frameworks that make decisions easier. Choices, choices, choices - they can feel completely overwhelming, especially if you’re impulsive, a perfectionist, full of shiny ideas or prone to people-pleasing. Together we’ll find ways to connect to calm, build confidence and create more clarity so decision-making becomes less of a meltdown-fest and more of a flow.
Regulation tools to help you shift out of stress and shutdown. Neurodivergent nervous systems can swing wildly from under-stimulated to totally overwhelmed. By learning how to spot your own stress responses - freeze, fight, flight or fawn - you’ll start to feel more in control. It’s all about befriending your nervous system, not battling against it.
Energy-first planning methods so you stop burning out. Decades of masking, people-pleasing, leaky boundaries and doing it all alone? No wonder you’re knackered! This is about flipping the script. We’ll work with your energy rhythms and capacity, not against them, so you can build a way of working that sustains you, and has room for joy.
Support for motivation crashes and rejection sensitivity. Losing focus, getting distracted or being “too sensitive” aren’t flaws - they’re real parts of your neurodivergent experience, especially in midlife. We’ll create tools, rituals and resources to support you through the dips, so you don’t lose momentum every time life wobbles.
You’ll leave with a personalised framework that makes executive function challenges easier—not just a quick productivity fix.
Who this is for
Regulate to Activate coaching is for you if...
-
You are a late diagnosed AuDHD midlifer ready to embrace your neurodivergence and start showing up in the world as your whole, true self.
-
You are ready to go all in on investing in your self discovery and self connection - no more half arsing it with buying all the books and courses but never taking the time to implement and integrate.
-
You are magic curious and open to the idea of exploring what's possible when you open yourself up to the playful energy of "what if...?"
-
You are ready to release the beliefs and behaviours that are holding you back - people pleasing, leaky boundaries, a harsh inner critic, perfectionism and self doubt.
-
You are ready to let someone hold space for you to feel seen, heard and held - safe enough to explore your shadow side and begin to integrate the parts of you that have been held at arm's length for so long.
-
You are willing to lean into patience and trust - knowing that this work takes time and is not linear. Are you willing to take a trust fall with yourself?
-
You are ready to work through discomfort and turn into rather than away from it - trusting that in doing so you can release what no longer serves you; deepen your self connection and develop a better relationship with yourself and those around you.
