Have you ever wondered if ADHD could actually be the reason behind your resilience, creativity, or even your perfectionism? In this powerful episode of Grandma Has ADHD, host Jami Shapiro sits down with inventor, entrepreneur, and grandmother Betty Landin to explore how ADHD shows up in unexpected ways—especially for women over 50.

Betty opens up about her difficult childhood, surviving trauma, and how discovering her ADHD later in life finally helped everything make sense. She shares how ADHD drives her to compete, create, and never settle for “average”—from bodybuilding competitions to inventing the award-winning Wander Pillow, a travel pillow with a built-in blanket that’s now sold nationwide.

Together, Jami and Betty talk about the hidden struggles of ADHD—decision fatigue, impulsivity, perfectionism, and negative self-talk—while also celebrating the resilience, innovation, and passion that make ADHD a true superpower.

If you’ve ever felt “different,” overwhelmed by choices, or like you can’t stop chasing big ideas, this episode will remind you that you’re not broken—you’re wired for something unique. ADHD isn’t just a challenge. For many, it’s the spark that fuels creativity, drive, and the courage to dream bigger.

In this insightful and relatable episode, host Jami Shapiro sits down with ADHD coach Julia Rice for a candid conversation about discovering ADHD later in life—and how it changes everything. Julia shares her story of being diagnosed in her late 30s after years of "managing just fine" until life circumstances, like the pandemic, career shifts, and perimenopause, amplified her ADHD symptoms. Sound familiar?

Jami and Julia dive into why ADHD in women, especially those over 50, often goes unnoticed, how family dynamics can mask ADHD traits, and why some of us create systems early in life without realizing we’ve been self-accommodating all along. Julia also opens up about how her mother likely has undiagnosed ADHD—a story many listeners will relate to—and how acceptance has reshaped both of their lives.

The episode is packed with real-life examples, practical coaching tips, and heartfelt moments about the power of community, self-compassion, and finally understanding your brain. Whether you’ve just discovered your ADHD, are supporting an aging parent, or simply want to feel less alone in your struggles with clutter, paperwork, or focus—this episode is for you.
