Backpacking Through ADHD

Rising Above Labels: Defying Gravity with ADHD


Listen Later

After the “Fiesty” episode, a listener asked me a question that stopped me in my tracks:

"What do you do with the weight that comes with owning who you are?"

That conversation inspired this week’s episode—Rising Above Labels: Defying Gravity with ADHD.

In this deeply personal episode, we’re talking about the emotional gravity that comes with ADHD—how labels, expectations, and self-doubt can quietly pull us down—and what it really means to rise anyway.

Join me as I share stories, reflections, and science on how to:

  • Release the weight of old labels and rewrite your own story
  • Understand the emotional “gravity” of ADHD and find your lift
  •  Model self-compassion and strength for ADHD kids
  • Transform shame into curiosity, creativity, and confidence
  • This week’s hat—Defy Gravity—reminds us that flight isn’t about ignoring the weight. It’s about learning how to rise with it.

    So grab your backpack, take a breath, and let’s climb—one step, one story, one moment of lift at a time.
