COACHING FOR NEURODIVERGENT woman
AND WOMAN REWRITING THEIR STORIES
You were never broken.
The systems simply weren't
built for you.
Hi, I'm Jean Sheridan. I spent decades teaching tools that worked beautifully for other people — and quietly wondering why they never worked for me. Understanding my own neurodivergence changed that. This is a place to be met as you actually are.
My belief
I spent most of my life believing I was the only one who thought they were broken.
That's not true. There are so many of us, women labelled too much, not enough, scattered, unfocused, unreliable, too sensitive, too intense.
Most of this work begins with something simpler than any framework: one person being seen, heard, and taken seriously by another. Before strategy, before scaffolding, before any tool, connection.
Imagine being told your entire life that you are a locomotive. You're supposed to run on tracks. So you try. You force yourself onto the rails — and something is always wrong.
Then you discover you were never a locomotive at all. You are a sailboat. You don't need tracks; you need freedom and flexibility to process information, to let your nervous system regulate, to honour your sensitivity — to move not in a straight line, but in responsive, fluid motion.

Jean tells her story in full in her chapter, “The Sailboat on the Railroad Tracks” in a new book, due out in October 2026.
WHO THIS IS FOR
My current focus is neurodiversity-affirming, trauma-informed wellness, wellbeing, and executive-function coaching for late-identified Au/DHD women — women who discovered their neurodivergent identity later in life, or were never diagnosed at all, and who know in their bones that the story they've been told about themselves is incomplete.
I also support women working through Complex- PTSD recovery in partnership with a therapist.
I'm a coach, not a therapist or medical provider. I do not diagnose.
about your coach
Jean Sheridan MS, CPC
Neurodiversity-affirming, trauma-informed coaching for clarity, confidence and calm
Change rarely arrives on a neat schedule, and not every mind handles it the same way. I’m Jean Sheridan, MS, CPC, a neurodiversity-affirming, trauma-informed life and wellbeing coach with more than 25 years in wellbeing coaching and health promotion.
I was teaching yoga and stress management before either was mainstream, and I’ve spent decades creating health promotion and disease prevention programmes for universities, not-for-profits and public health settings. Today I coach people at every level, from frontline staff to the C-suite, through big life changes, stress and overwhelm, especially neurodivergent adults who want to work with their brain rather than against it.
My clients often tell me they feel heard and seen. I listen closely, ask questions that help you think differently about your situation, and help you reframe what feels like a struggle into a challenge you can work with. You’ll leave each session knowing your next few steps, sized to fit your life and the way your mind works.
I hold a BS and MS in Health Promotion and Disease Prevention, with advanced certifications in mindfulness, grief, spiritual, meditation, and chronic stress and trauma-informed coaching. I’m currently completing ADHD and autism coaching certifications. Additionally, I bring lived experience to this work.
