Who is ADHD Untangled?
My name is Rosie I am an Accredited ADHD Coach and I know what living with ADHD feels like.
Let's turn your ADHD Story of Struggle into a Story of Strength.
ADHD Coach, Podcast Host and Yoga & Pilates Instructor... but ultimately, I'm just a human being who truly understands what it's like to live with ADHD.
My diagnosis enabled me to finally stop wasting my story of struggle and instead use it to make a positive impact on the lives of others who have suffered just like me.
Since I can remember, my life has felt chaotic due to what I describe as having a tangled brain. Married at 24, divorced by 27, with 8 failed driving tests, constantly misplacing my belongings, partying like a rockstar, struggling to accept rejection, and facing difficulties staying motivated in a corporate job while fitting into societal norms.
Nothing in my life has been consistent, apart from one question: "What the hell is wrong with you?" This question has haunted me for decades, leading me to believe I was not enough. This resulted in a desperate hunt from an early age to find my place in this world, determined to be accepted, loved, successful, and happy. I would abandon my identity and seek a new one.
My turning point came when a friend signed me up for the London Marathon, a race I completed in his memory after he tragically took his own life. This experience led me to become a certified yoga teacher in India and a qualified Pilates instructor, teaching movement and meditation for over eight years.
I firmly believe that this re-introduction saved my life by enabling me to overcome my mental health and addiction struggles, as it provided the dopamine my brain constantly craved. This underscores the profound impact of physical activity on those with ADHD.
My life with undiagnosed ADHD has been an adventure, full of some mind-blowing and exciting experiences that I often can't believe are part of my story.
But there were many parts of this adventure that brought me to dark places—places that almost led me to not being here to tell my story.
Places that could have been avoided if I had the answers I had been searching for my whole life.
The misunderstanding of ADHD has already cost many wonderful human beings their lives, and undoubtedly many talented and gifted ones at that, because they got tired of seeking answers to the persistent questions: "What the hell is wrong with me?" "Why do I constantly struggle?" "Will I ever just be normal?"
My mission is to do whatever I can to support late-diagnosed individuals with ADHD, helping them realise their worth and take authentic action to live a more meaningful life, through ADHD coaching and movement.
