Neurodivergent women and mental health: Why belief and support are essential requirements for impactful care with Kendra Koch, Founder and CEO of Divergently

Expanding Access · 19 min

Episode Description

Receiving a diagnosis later in life can change how someone understands themselves, their work, and the care they need.

In this episode, Kendra Koch, Founder and CEO of Divergently, shares how her late ADHD diagnosis during pregnancy led her to rethink everything she had learned in the wellness industry. She explains why traditional wellness approaches often fall short for neurodivergent women, why founders and leaders need to prioritize their own mental health, and how storytelling and self-compassion support healing. Kendra also discusses where mistrust in the healthcare system comes from, how patients and providers can see each other as partners, and how Divergently gives late-diagnosed women a place to find vetted information, peer support, and community.

Tune in to hear how self-understanding, lived experience, and community can help women get their needs met!
