In this episode, Mary is joined by Sheri Jay, a specialized life coach who transforms the lives of neurodivergent individuals through her unique blend of neuroscience expertise and lived experience. Drawing from her own journey with brain injury, anxiety, and invisible disability, Sheri has developed innovative coaching methods that help clients embrace their strengths and thrive authentically.

The conversation explores the profound intersection of neurodivergence and menopause, revealing how hormonal changes can unmask previously hidden traits like ADHD and autism in women. Sheri discusses the challenges of late diagnosis, the exhausting process of masking, and how menopause often becomes "the great reveal" when coping mechanisms no longer work. She shares her compassionate approach to navigate this complex landscape with tools that build confidence, overcome imposter syndrome and perfectionism, and create new neural pathways.

Sheri's remarkable journey from high-powered corporate executive to passionate advocate began with a life-changing stroke and brain injury that left her disabled for years. Rather than accepting limitations, she used neuroscience principles to create new neural pathways, eventually founding a coaching practice that serves everyone from athletes to executives. Her story demonstrates the power of resilience and the importance of embracing what makes us uniquely capable.
