Attention Talk Radio

ADHD often comes with inconsistency—moments of strong performance followed by periods of underperformance. Over time, this unpredictability can lead individuals to question their abilities and hide their struggles behind carefully constructed defenses. In this episode of Attention Talk Radio, host Jeff Copper (https://digcoaching.com) speaks with ADDiva Linda Roggli (https://addiva.net), who draws on her lived experience with ADHD and her work as a coach to explore the personas many people adopt to cope and self-protect. From the “perfectionist” and the “superhero” to the “ditz” and other familiar roles, Linda explains how these masks help deflect attention—but at a cost. Together, they examine the emotional toll of maintaining these personas, how exhausting it can be, and the impact it has on one’s sense of self. If you’ve ever felt like you’re hiding in plain sight or afraid of being “found out,” this powerful conversation is one you won’t want to miss.
