Okay, you know that moment when you realize ohhhhhh this brain isn’t broken—it’s just wired differently? Yeah, Sarah Sparkman had that moment at 37, when she was diagnosed with ADHD. And let me tell you, her story is one a lot of us will relate to.

In this episode, I sit down with Sarah—who somehow manages to be a senior category advisor in dish care at P&G, a licensed attorney, and an advocate for domestic violence victims—all while figuring out what it means to live and work with ADHD.

We talk about:

• Masking through childhood (and, let’s be honest, adulthood too)
• How ADHD impacts everything from careers to relationships
• Why self-advocacy isn’t just a buzzword—it’s survival
• And how to find community when you feel like the odd pickle out (see what I did there?)

Sarah brings the kind of real talk and wisdom that only comes from living it. No fluff, no “productivity hacks”—just honest conversation about navigating neurodivergence as a grown woman in a world that’s just catching up.

Tune in, laugh a little, nod a lot, and maybe feel a little less alone.
