  • Summary

  • Today on the podcast, I'm sharing something deep from my heart, something I've been wanting to say for a long time. I'm sharing what I *really* think of the ADHD label, and why it's crucial we define ourselves by what we are, instead of what we're not. When I re-defined the ADHD label and re-claimed my identity in terms of who I am, instead of in terms of my deficits, it was absolutely life changing. In this episode, I also cover:
    • A part of my diagnosis story and my emotions around that
    • Living life as a teenager and 20-something without knowing my neurotype
    • Why life was so hard when I kept trying to force myself to be "neurotypical"
    • Feeling like I’d missed the guidebook on how to be “normal”
    • What’s at stake when we only focus on our deficits
    • What it looks like to celebrate, honour and trust my neurodivergent brain and being able to do the same for other ADHDers in my life, and what a gift that has been
    This episode is the first in a mini-series all about what's actually happening inside our ADHD brains, so make sure you tune in to hear the rest of the series across the next few weeks.
