129 ~ Bullying, Burnout & Undiagnosed ADHD with Marie Weidlich
In this episode of Before You Bloom, I’m joined by Marie Weidlich, an ADHD advocate, award-winning marketer, and someone whose story goes far beyond the success people see on the surface.
Marie opens up about growing up with relentless bullying, navigating life with undiagnosed ADHD, and the emotional impact of spending years feeling misunderstood, overwhelmed, and like she never quite fit in. While building a successful career across fashion, finance, and brand marketing, she was also quietly battling burnout, masking, shame, and the exhaustion of constantly trying to hold it all together.
In this deeply honest conversation, we explore:✨ the long-term impact of bullying and trauma✨ what ADHD can look like in women✨ masking, burnout, and feeling “too much” or “not enough”✨ mental health, survival, and rebuilding self-worth✨ healing, self-compassion, and learning to understand yourself differently
Marie also shares the tools that supported her healing journey, and the conversations she hopes we continue having around ADHD, trauma, and mental health.
This episode is raw, insightful, and incredibly validating for anyone who has ever felt unseen, different, or exhausted from trying to keep up. If you’ve ever struggled with belonging, burnout, or understanding your own mind, this conversation will resonate deeply.
