Hi, I’m Regina McMenomy, Ph.D.
Neurodivergent. Late-diagnosed. Lifelong question-asker. Professional box-destroyer. Human.
For most of my life, I did what I was supposed to do: perform, achieve, adapt. I built a brilliant academic career. I earned a Ph.D. in Cultural Studies, digging deep into the invisible systems — capitalism, patriarchy, ableism, you know, light stuff — that shape how we move through the world. I learned how those systems especially fail people who don’t think, feel, or process the world the “normal” way.
Then I got my own neurodivergent diagnosis. As an adult.
And suddenly, it all made sense: the years of burnout. The internalized shame. The lowkey (okay, highkey) existential dread. But also… the resilience. The creativity. The pattern recognition. The fire.
Now I help other late-diagnosed neurodivergent adults unmask, unlearn, and rebuild their lives in a way that actually fits. My approach blends deep cultural awareness with a no-BS coaching style that’s warm, empowering, occasionally spicy, and always human.
I’m not here to fix you. You were never broken.
I’m here to help you come home to yourself — gloriously, messily, and unapologetically.
Why I Do This Work
Fun Facts (a.k.a. Exhibit A in Why I’m Like This)
- If you tell me “you’re just overthinking it,” I will send you a reading list and a glare.
- I once wrote an entire dissertation to prove a point in an argument I had… with myself. Spoiler: I won.
- I have a Ph.D. in Cultural Studies, which means I can ruin a Marvel movie and a department store ad campaign in one breath.
- My brain generates 5 brilliant ideas and 37 chaotic ones before breakfast. All of them are in an open tab somewhere.
- I’ve turned “too intense” into a professional superpower. You’re welcome.
- My sense of direction is… theoretical. If I’m ever late, I probably got into a deep thought spiral about systemic oppression while missing three exits.
- I can give a TED-level talk on executive function while forgetting why I walked into the kitchen.
- I am powered by passion, sarcasm, and exactly one (1) perfectly timed meltdown per quarter.
- I started this business because I took a job thinking it would be the pinnacle of my academic career and found out they couldn’t accommodate my ADHD. You don’t get to benefit from my gifts without allowing me to be my authentic, disabled, and brilliant self.
