Today on the podcast, I’m joined by Benjamin Hollingsworth, best known as Brady on Virgin River and from The Christmas Ring. While audiences feel like they know him from the screen, this conversation offers something much more personal: Benjamin opens up publicly for the first time about his ADHD.

We dive into his diagnosis story: when he first realized his brain worked differently, what signs were there all along, and how getting diagnosed shifted his self-understanding. Benjamin shares what it’s really like navigating ADHD in the high-pressure world of TV and film, from long days on set to the intense focus required when the cameras roll.

We also talk about fatherhood: raising three boys while managing an ADHD brain, and the kind of dad he wants to be. It’s an honest, relatable conversation about identity, growth, and learning how to work with your brain instead of against it.

Whether you’re a fan of Virgin River or simply curious how ADHD shows up behind the scenes of a successful acting career, this episode offers a rare and meaningful glimpse into the real life of someone you thought you already knew.
