In this empowering episode of Launching Forward with ADHD, I share something I wish I had known when I was first diagnosed with ADHD—and what every parent of a child with ADHD should hear: ADHD is not a limitation. It’s a superpower.

To prove it, I’m highlighting well-known celebrities, athletes, and entrepreneurs who have ADHD and have used their unique brains to reach incredible success. From Simone Biles to Richard Branson, Emma Watson to Michael Phelps—these are people who didn’t just survive with ADHD… they thrived.

This episode is for any parent who’s ever worried about their child’s future, and for anyone who needs a reminder that ADHD doesn't define your worth—it can fuel your potential.

What you'll learn:

• Why knowing ADHD role models can be a game-changer for kids and parents
• How successful individuals like Simone Biles, Emma Watson, and Michael Phelps manage their ADHD
• The role structure, creativity, and passion play in transforming ADHD into a strength
• How ADHD can amplify talents in careers, sports, music, entrepreneurship, and acting
• A mindset shift from “ADHD is a struggle” to “ADHD is a superpower”
