#129 ADHD Conference Highlights: Big Feelings, Burnout & Breakthroughs


Listen Later

I’m still riding the dopamine high from the 2025 New Zealand ADHD Conference in Auckland - and in this episode, I’m bringing you along with me.


From funny ADHD moments (hello, jumpsuit tag & oversharing in the bathroom line) to powerful speaker insights, I’m sharing the best takeaways, stories and reminders that every ADHDer needs to hear.


Inside this episode:

  • Why small talk sucks (and why oversharing connects us)
  • The fascinating ADHD strength of sublimation and how we turn big emotions into creativity
  • Burnout vs. stress - how to spot the difference
  • RSD, “crybaby” myths & what shyness might really mean
  • Workplace truths: why being “rewarded” with more work isn’t always a win
  • Practical ADHD hacks like using playlists as timers & mindfulness beyond meditation cushions
  • Plus: what it really means when people in our lives want to understand our ADHD, even if they don’t have it themselves


Whether you were in the room or not, this episode is packed with relatable laughs, fresh ADHD insights and the kind of conversations that remind us we’re not alone.
