In this episode, we sit down with Christian Chamberlin, an Untapped Learning mentor, who was diagnosed with ADHD later in life and has firsthand experience navigating these struggles. Christian opens up about slipping through the cracks in school, why hyperfocus kept him afloat, and how alternative learning paths like online school and self-directed learning helped him take control of his education.

We discuss what it’s like receiving an ADHD diagnosis as an adult, the emotional journey of self-acceptance, and why executive function strategies are life-changing when applied correctly. Christian shares practical tools he’s learned from working with students, including how parents can support kids with ADHD, the importance of movement as medicine, and how to reframe negative self-talk into self-belief.

Whether you’re a student, a parent, or an adult navigating ADHD, this episode is full of real stories, expert insights, and actionable strategies to help you unlock your potential and work with your brain instead of against it.
