Burnout, Late ADHD Diagnosis & Setting Your Life on Fire with Jan Ockendon

Are you exhausted by living up to everyone else's expectations — the "shoulds" that were never yours to carry in the first place? In this electrifying episode of The True You Podcast, host Paula Burns sits down with Jan Ockendon — psychotherapist, NLP life coach, energy practitioner, and one of the most refreshingly honest and energising guests — for a conversation about burning through the patterns keeping you in survival mode and finally getting to wear your life like the little black dress you feel a million dollars in. Jan has spent over 30 years in the mental wellbeing world. She began as a mental health nurse — including time on an all-female acute mental health ward that ignited her lifelong passion for supporting women — before training as a psychotherapist and adding NLP-focused life coaching and energy practices to create her own signature approach. She is not your average therapist. She is a firestarter. And she is very, very good at what she does. Oh — and she was recently diagnosed with ADHD. Which, she says, makes total sense of her entire life. In this episode, we explore: — What it means to be exhausted by other people's "shoulds" — and how inherited and societal patterns keep women locked in survival mode without even realising it — Jan's signature blend of psychotherapy, NLP coaching, and energy practices — what it is, how it works, and why the combination creates such profound and lasting change — What a late ADHD diagnosis feels like as a woman — and why so many women are only now discovering that what they thought was a personal failing was actually an undiagnosed condition all along — How Jan's 30+ years of experience — from mental health nursing to psychotherapy to coaching — shaped her understanding of what women truly need to break free Whether you are burned out, overwhelmed by expectations, wondering if you might have ADHD, or simply ready to stop living someone else's version of your life — Jan will light something in you.
