What if your imposter syndrome isn't a confidence problem but an unhealed self-worth wound?

In this episode of Rewire to Rise, host Mirela Bocanet speaks with Angela Raspass—business strategist, mentor and author—about the life-altering reality of being diagnosed with ADHD at age 53. Together, they explore the complex intersection of late-in-life neurodivergent diagnosis, a 20-year sobriety journey and how unhealed self-worth wounds quietly show up in executive leadership, business pricing and visibility.

In this episode, we explore:

• The Dual Tides of Late Diagnosis: Navigating the quiet grief and profound relief of learning your brain’s true wiring at 53.

• Self-Worth Wound vs. Imposter Syndrome: Why external praise slips off a sparky-brained leader while criticism sticks like Velcro.

• The Addiction & Hyperfocus Link: How undiagnosed ADHD can feed early-life coping mechanisms and burnout cycles.

• Pricing & Visibility: How unhealed internal wounds lead to over-delivering, under-pricing and shape-shifting in business.

• Taming "Popcorn Brain": Practical frameworks to protect multi-passionate strategic focus without stifling creativity.
