Navigating Adult ADHD

#142 ADHD Strengths & Advantages


Listen Later

Today we’re shining a big bright neon light on the strengths, advantages & downright magical things ADHDers bring to the table. 


Inside this episode, we get into the real-life ways ADHD brains excel, including:

Crisis Brilliance - why we become geniuses the moment things go sideways (wait until you hear my first-day-as-manager story 🙃)

Instant Encyclopaedia Mode - how we can go from “never heard of it” to “expert in 48 hours” (Madagascar, submarines… you’ll see)

Pattern Recognition Powers - the reason we guess the ending of movies before the popcorn is cold

Entertainment Energy - the storytelling, the drama, the sound effects… and why so many incredible entertainers have ADHD


And that’s just the beginning.
 These examples are not even close to the full list of ways our brains are brilliant.

I’m also sharing a personal piece of this journey - how I went from hating myself and avoiding the mirror… to genuinely loving my bright, bold, dramatic, neon-sparkly ADHD brain.

It wasn’t luck. It was learning, understanding & doing the inner work to finally see myself clearly.


If you’re ready for an episode that celebrates everything powerful, beautiful, quirky, creative & wildly capable about ADHD brains - this one’s going to feel like a warm hug with confetti cannons... LFG!
