About this listen

Craig Robertson and Matt Easterling sit down with therapist Stephanie Hathorn of The Shepherd's Staff to explore her late-in-life ADHD diagnosis and its profound impact on her self-understanding, her clients, and the journey through midlife. Sharing her story with warmth, humor, and honesty – including experiences from being struck by lightning to navigating anxiety, motherhood, and life transitions – Stephanie discusses how ADHD manifests differently in men and women, the link between attention, anxiety, and creativity, and how what some call a "disorder" can become a superpower. The conversation dives deep into embracing self-awareness, shifting from doing to being, and finding meaning beyond achievement – offering insight for anyone wondering why their mind races, stillness feels impossible, or the second half of life feels so different from the first. This episode blends insight, laughter, and encouragement, reminding listeners that growth doesn't stop at 40 and our quirks can become our greatest gifts.
