The Podcast

We don’t outgrow ADHD, we simply change with it. Join hosts Jami and Justin as we explore the intersection of ADHD and seniors.

Episode 58 – This Boomer is a Technology Tutor

What if your biggest life reinvention happens after retirement?

In this inspiring episode of Grandma Has ADHD, host Jami Shapiro sits down with Joyce Feustel, a 76-year-old LinkedIn coach and founder of Boomers’ Social Media Tutor, to talk about rediscovering purpose, staying curious, and why it’s never too late to understand your brain.

From leaving a 17-year career in sales at 64 to launching her own business teaching boomers and Gen Xers how to navigate LinkedIn, Joyce shares how she turned curiosity into confidence—and why she might just be living proof that ADHD doesn’t have an age limit.

As Jami gently walks Joyce through an eye-opening conversation about ADHD in older adults, they unpack common myths, late-life realizations, and why so many women over 50 have spent decades thinking they were “just bad at focusing.” You’ll hear stories about forgetting appointments, hyperfixating on what lights you up, and learning to give yourself grace for the things that don’t.

Whether you’re an entrepreneur reinventing yourself at 60, a lifelong learner embracing technology, or someone finally connecting the dots on how your brain works—this episode is a warm reminder that self-understanding has no expiration date.

ADHD, Aging, and Reinvention with Joyce Feustel

What happens when a 76-year-old entrepreneur turns her love for social media into a thriving business—and discovers along the way that her lifelong quirks might actually be ADHD?

In this inspiring episode of Grandma Has ADHD, host Jami Shapiro chats with Joyce Feustel, founder of Boomers Social Media Tutor and living proof that curiosity has no age limit. Joyce shares how she left a 17-year sales career at 64, built a business teaching LinkedIn to boomers and Gen Xers, and found joy in learning the digital world from scratch.

As Jami and Joyce dig deeper, they explore how undiagnosed ADHD can hide behind decades of “busy energy,” multitasking, and perfectionism—and how recognizing it later in life can bring relief, understanding, and self-compassion.

Finding Purpose Through Curiosity and Connection

Joyce’s story reflects the power of lifelong learning and self-discovery. Whether she’s guiding clients through LinkedIn or laughing about forgetful moments, her journey reminds us that ADHD isn’t just a childhood label—it’s a way of thinking that can drive creativity, resilience, and reinvention at any age.

Together, Jami and Joyce discuss:

  • Why ADHD often goes undetected in women and seniors 
  • The overlap between ADHD traits and entrepreneurial energy 
  • How structure, accountability, and “body doubling” help ADHD brains thrive 
  • The difference between aging forgetfulness and neurodivergent focus 
  • Why it’s never too late to learn something new—or to understand yourself

Technology, ADHD, and the Freedom to Reinvent Yourself

From analog beginnings to digital mastery, Joyce shows that embracing technology isn’t just about staying current—it’s about staying connected. Her journey inspires listeners to see ADHD not as a flaw, but as a lifelong invitation to grow, adapt, and shine in unexpected ways.

If you’ve ever felt behind the times, scattered, or unsure how your brain works, this conversation will help you feel seen—and remind you that it’s never too late to press “refresh.”
