Stories From Behind the Mask - The parts we edit out
Step behind the polished surfaces and curated feeds. This is where we hear the stories we usually keep to ourselves — the doubts, the triumphs, the moments that shaped us. Each episode, I sit down with bold entrepreneurs, creators, and change-makers to uncover the parts they’ve edited out, the truths they rarely share, and the lessons that transformed them.
If you want to see people as they really are — messy, human, and extraordinary — this is your front-row seat.
Stories From Behind the Mask - The parts we edit out
Episode 20 - Ann Diment - Resilience Rebel - ADHD Resilience Coaching
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
For decades, Ann wore masks to keep the peace - people pleasing to avoid conflict, performing “I’m fine” while silently carrying the weight of trauma. In her marriage and on stage in her ex’s band, she played roles built on other people’s words, other people’s needs. All the while, her own voice was waiting - patient, persistent, powerful.
Her journey through cPTSD recovery, divorce, and finally an ADHD diagnosis has cracked those masks wide open. She’s no longer “broken” or “too much.” She’s a woman discovering her boundaries, her resilience, and her freedom to take up space as she is: vibrant, sensual, creative, unapologetically neurodivergent.
Now, Ann steps forward as the founder of Resilience Rebel, a poet, artist, and entrepreneur who is ready to live on her own terms. For her, visibility is not just about being seen - it’s about being proud of every part of herself: her mind, her body, her story.
Her voice is no longer borrowed. It’s her own. And it’s time to be heard.
