You aren't broken; you're just living in a world designed for a different brain.

In the series premiere of The ADHD Reframed Project, Dr. Cristina Louk shares her professional and personal journey through late ADHD diagnosis and trauma. We dive into the biological reality of neurodiversity—from the impact of hormones and perimenopause to the invisible sting of Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria (RSD).

We’re moving past the "disorder" and discussing why it’s time to stop apologizing for how you think. Whether you're navigating the professional world or an entrepreneurial path, this episode is your invitation to stop masking and start reframing your ADHD as your greatest competitive advantage.

In this episode, we cover:

• The trauma of a late-in-life diagnosis.

• Why "small talk" feels like an Olympic sport.

• The Dr. Russell Barkley insights that change everything.

• Building a strengths-based life.
