18. ’If only I’d found out about giftedness sooner...’

Manon found out about her giftedness later in life, and struggles with sadness around this discovery. She feels like it's too late, she has many regrets, and wishes she could turn back the clock so she could do 'big things'. Now she wonders: what should I do next?

A 'late' discovery often comes with mixed feelings. It can be overwhelming, and even make you feel like you're grieving. Mourning the opportunities that were lost because you didn't know sooner. Mourning because you spent so much time trying to adapt and wish away your 'weirdness', instead of pursuing grand ambitions.

In this coaching session, I guide Manon through these complex feelings and address this sadness.
