My Story
By Laura Worgan
What started as my own journey trying to understand my own spicy brain and years of feeling misunderstood, quickly became something much bigger as I realised I wasn’t alone. I have been on a mission ever since to create the kind of space I wish existed for myself years ago.
I was diagnosed with ADHD and Autism as an adult - after years of feeling like I never quite fit in, struggling with my mental health, and carrying the weight of being labeled “stupid” and “naughty” as a child.
I left school with no GCSEs. I’ve navigated the loneliness of being introverted in a world that doesn’t always make space for people like us. I’ve struggled with friendships, with understanding myself, and with carrying the shame that comes from being told - directly or indirectly - that something was wrong with you.
ADHD and me
Being diagnosed was life changing but also incredibly overwhelming. After years of struggling, finally having an explanation was a huge relief. However, there was very little support to help me understand what it actually meant or what to do next.
I stumbled across ADHD coaching, and it completely changed the way I understood myself. Instead of constantly focusing on what I couldn’t do, I learnt how my brain worked and found strategies and a new way of thinking which completely changed my life.
That experience had such a positive impact on me that learning about ADHD became my hyper focus and I knew I wanted to be able to offer people the same support, so I re-trained as a coach.
My why
The Weird Sisters Society was created for the women who have spent their whole lives feeling a little different. The ones called “too much”, “too sensitive”, “too emotional,” or “too weird”. The ones who never quite felt like they fitted in anywhere.
What started as my own journey - trying to understand my own spicy brain and years of feeling misunderstood - quickly became something much bigger as I realised I wasn’t alone. I have been on a mission since to create the kind of space that I wish existed for myself years ago.
A space where neurodivergent women can feel seen, understood and supported. Where it’s safe to slowly begin learning to unmask and start celebrating every part of yourself, the weirder, the better.
