Many older adults are only now discovering they have ADHD—often after a lifetime of feeling out of step, misunderstood, or simply exhausted by trying to “keep up.” In this gentle, informative session, certified ADHD life coach Susannah Ward offers insight and encouragement to those navigating retirement with a late diagnosis or long-held suspicion.
Through personal stories, simple science, and practical strategies, we’ll explore six key ways to support brain health, motivation, and connection in later life. The session will also touch on neuroplasticity, executive function, and how to work with—not against—your unique brain wiring.
This is not a medical or diagnostic session, but a compassionate, light-touch introduction to what’s going on in the ADHD brain—and what to do about it. There will be time for questions and a warm sense of community throughout.
