About Regina McMenomy, Ph.D.

Neurodivergent coach.
Cultural critic.
Certified box-destroyer.

Hi. I'm Regina.

Late-diagnosed neurodivergent “grown-up.”
Ph.D. in Cultural Studies.
Firm believer that you’re not broken, just working in systems that were never built with you in mind.

For most of my life, I did what I was “supposed” to do: perform, achieve, adapt. I built a successful academic career and became an expert in the invisible systems — capitalism, patriarchy, ableism — that shape our lives. But it wasn’t until I was diagnosed with ADHD at nearly 50 that everything finally clicked.

Why I Coach Late-Diagnosed Neurodivergent Adults

Recognizing the burnout. The shame. The masking.
But also: the resilience. The fire. The creative brilliance that never fit the mold.

I help late-diagnosed neurodivergent adults unmask and rebuild lives that actually work. My coaching approach is honest, empowering, and maybe a little spicy. I focus on emotional & nervous system regulation, executive function, identity reclamation, and sustainable systems. No pep talks, no productivity guilt.

You’re not too much. You’re just too you for a world that prefers people quiet and compliant.

Let’s change that.

Why I Do This Work

  • I got my Ph.D. because my college mentor told me it was a bad idea.
  • I can give a TED-level talk on executive function while forgetting why I walked into the kitchen.
  • I started this business after leaving a “dream job” that couldn’t accommodate my ADHD.
  • I turn “too intense” into a professional superpower.
  • Powered by curiosity, sarcasm, and one perfectly timed meltdown per quarter.
