My Relationship With Neurodivergence

Neudivergent Coach, Charlotte Shimko | Shine with Charlotte
Neudivergence Coach

For most of my life, I knew I experienced the world differently but couldn’t quite put my finger on why. Growing up, I was labeled as energetic, bright, and capable—but beneath the surface, I struggled with focus, procrastination, and an overwhelming need to meet everyone else’s expectations. It wasn’t until June 2023, when I was diagnosed with ADHD, that I finally had an explanation for the challenges I had been facing for years. A few months later, in September 2023, I was also diagnosed with complex PTSD (cPTSD), which shed even more light on my experiences. These diagnoses didn’t just provide clarity; they gave me the tools to start working with my brain instead of against it. Suddenly, my tendencies to people-please, overcommit, and battle executive dysfunction made sense, and I began to embrace my neurodivergence rather than fight it.

Understanding my ADHD and cPTSD has been a journey of self-discovery, healing, and growth. I’ve learned that the strategies I developed—whether it was relying on external accountability, leveraging hyperfocus, or finding creative ways to stay organized—weren’t just coping mechanisms, but unique strengths that helped me succeed. I’ve also come to accept that what works for me doesn’t always fit the mold of traditional productivity advice, and that’s okay. Through trial and error, I’ve found practical solutions that allow me to thrive in both my personal and professional life. Now, my mission is to support others on their own neurodivergent journey—helping them navigate their unique challenges, discover their strengths, and create a life that aligns with who they truly are.
