In this episode of The Workplace Podcast, we shift the conversation.

This isn’t about learning another communication technique or “fixing” how you show up at work. It’s about the mindset shift that changes everything: self-awareness.

I share my lived experience of living and working with ADHD, especially how feedback lands, why it tends to stick, and how deep processing is often misunderstood as overthinking. We talk honestly about why speed and immediacy have become the unspoken standard for “good communication” at work—and why that standard quietly erodes confidence for so many capable people.

This episode is about:

• Understanding how you process information
• Reframing feedback as insight, not a verdict
• Letting go of apology and communicating with ownership
• Recognizing the real strengths that come with thinking differently
• Learning why integration—not conformity—is the goal

If you’ve ever walked away from a conversation thinking, “I understand this… but I need time to process,” this episode is for you.

And if you’re early in your career, still figuring out how you work best, or questioning whether your confidence will ever catch up to your capability—this conversation matters more than you may realize.

Important note: This episode is not medical advice and is not meant to diagnose or label anyone. What I share is simply my personal experience and perspective.

What makes you different isn’t something to fix.
 It’s something to understand, respect, and trust.
