If Only I Had Known: Rewriting the Story with Diane Heaton

Carrie Scollon sits down with Diane Heaton to explore her chapter from The Embers We Carry, Lighthouse Book Series Volume 3. Diagnosed with ADHD later in life, Diane shares how this realization reframed decades of self-doubt, masking, and misunderstanding. She speaks candidly about confidence, self-compassion, and why ADHD in women is so often overlooked—and misunderstood.

Conversation highlights:
- Masking, self-blame, and exhaustion
- ADHA in women and missed diagnosis

- Naming truth as a path to healing

🎧 This episode is for anyone who has ever felt “too much,” “not enough,” or misunderstood—and is ready to meet themselves with clarity and kindness.
