This episode is a different kind of conversation—one that goes beneath the surface and straight to the heart. 💛
In this episode of Growing With Proficiency, the Podcast, I’m joined by two great friends and incredible educators, Annabelle Williamson (La Maestra Loca) and Bertha Delgadillo. Together, we open up about a topic that many teachers live with, often silently: teaching with ADHD.
Annabelle and Bertha share their personal journeys to getting diagnosed, what ADHD looks like behind the scenes, the emotional toll it can take, and the powerful tools and strategies they’ve found to support themselves and their students. We talk about the guilt, the overwhelm, and the pressure to “keep up”—and how curiosity, community, and compassion can help us rewrite the narrative.
Whether you’ve been diagnosed, suspect you might have ADHD, or simply feel like you’re always behind and overwhelmed, this episode is for you.
Because what if the problem isn’t you—but the systems we’re trying to fit into?
🎧 Tune in to hear:
We’re not experts or doctors—just teachers sharing our lived experiences in the hope that it makes someone else feel seen and supported. 💬
Because you are not alone. You are not broken. And you are exactly the teacher your students need.
