82. Shannyn Schroeder - Understanding Neurodivergence & Executive Function
In this powerful and eye-opening episode of Radiant Resilience, Tawny sits down with Shannyn Schroeder — an executive function coach who helps neurodivergent women understand how their brains actually work so they can build systems that feel doable, supportive, and aligned.
With more than nine years of coaching experience — and after raising three neurodivergent kids — Shannyn brings compassion, humor, and deep expertise to a topic that so many women are just beginning to explore:
What does it really mean to be neurodivergent, and how do we build a life that works with our brains instead of against them?
Together, Tawny and Shannyn unpack:
✨ What neurodivergence actually is (beyond labels)
✨ The truth about ADHD vs. ADD
✨ Why so many women are only now realizing they may be neurodivergent
✨ How overwhelm, procrastination, and emotional regulation are tied to executive function
✨ Why women aren’t “lazy” or “broken” — their brains just work differently
✨ How to start creating systems when everything feels impossible
✨ Real strategies for task initiation, time management, and prioritizing your energy
✨ The pressure to “mask,” perform, and multitask — and how to break free from it
✨ Why you don’t need a diagnosis to start supporting your brain
✨ Shannyn’s free tools, courses, and community designed to make executive functioning accessible for everyone
This conversation is validating, practical, empowering, and full of those “ohhhh… that makes so much sense” moments.
If you’ve ever wondered why certain things feel harder for you than other people…
If planning, organization, time management, or overwhelm are constant battles…
Or if you’re simply curious about the neurodivergent experience…
This episode is going to feel like a warm hug, a breath of relief, and a lightbulb moment all at once.
