In this insightful series, Dr. Phil Anderton and John Reynolds challenge common misconceptions, speaking with high achievers from business and media about their real-life experiences with ADHD.
In this powerful episode of ADHD Beyond the Label, Dr Phil Anderton and John Reynolds are joined by Marie Weidlich, a fintech marketing professional, fashion creator, and ADHD advocate whose journey spans continents, challenges, and transformation.
Born and raised in Brazil before moving to London, Marie spent years feeling like she didn’t belong. From severe bullying at school and the loss of her grandfather to suicide, to navigating life undiagnosed with ADHD while building a career in the City, Marie’s story is one of resilience, determination, and self-discovery.
After receiving a life-changing ADHD diagnosis as an adult, everything began to make sense. With a new sense of self-empathy and clarity, Marie not only rebuilt her own narrative but also turned her experience into action, launching a petition that sparked discussion in the UK Parliament about improving access to ADHD diagnosis and treatment.
Alongside her advocacy and career in fintech, Marie also built London Fashion Today, a global fashion and travel platform that has empowered thousands of women to travel, create, and express themselves.
This is a deeply honest conversation about identity, resilience, and what happens when someone finally understands themselves and uses that understanding to create change for others.A story of survival, purpose, and empowerment you won’t want to miss.
