ADHD—Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder—isn’t just about being “distracted” or “hyper.” It’s a neurodevelopmental condition that affects executive functioning: the brain’s ability to plan, prioritize, focus, regulate emotions, and manage impulses.

While often diagnosed in childhood, many people—especially women and high-functioning adults—go undiagnosed until later in life. ADHD can look like disorganization, emotional overwhelm, or procrastination, but underneath is often a nervous system wired for stimulation and novelty, not structure and routine.

This episode dives into:

• The real signs of ADHD most people miss
• How ADHD looks different in women than men
• Why binge eating, binge drinking, and emotional dysregulation are common coping mechanisms
• The cost of masking symptoms while appearing successful
• And how healing starts with understanding—not shame

Whether you have ADHD, love someone who does, or are just curious—this episode will help you see it through a more compassionate, informed lens.
