Navigating Adult ADHD

#165: What IS ADHD, really? (Let's go back to basics)


Listen Later

ADHD isn't just distraction. It's not laziness. It's not "everyone feels like that sometimes."


It's crying over a text message. Needing a nap after replying to three emails. Avoiding something for three weeks that takes seven minutes.


In this episode, we go back to basics…

  • What ADHD actually is
  • How it shows up in the brain
  • Executive function explained in a way that finally makes sense
  • The emotional side nobody talks about enough 
  • And why inconsistency isn't a character flaw


You weren't doing it wrong. You just had the wrong manual my friend.
