Where are my Keys?

What do you mean I've been walking around for 46 years with ADHD and NOBODY TOLD ME?!

Welcome to Where Are My Keys?, a podcast about figuring out life after an adult ADHD diagnosis—one lost item, forgotten appointment, and 50-leven open tabs at a time.

In this very first episode, I'm sharing the story of how I discovered I had ADHD at 46. From pandemic-era brain fog and a dismissive psychiatrist to a primary care doctor who finally connected the dots, the journey to my diagnosis was anything but straightforward.

And baby, the actual evaluation? Between getting the appointment time wrong, losing my keys, and struggling with the test instructions, the diagnosis probably should've been complete before I even sat down.

But getting answers was only the beginning.

In this episode, we're talking about:

• The symptoms that made me realize something wasn't quite right.
• My frustrating journey to getting answers.
• Receiving my official ADHD diagnosis on January 5, 2023.
• The relief of finally understanding my brain—and the grief that followed.
• The emotional breakdown that helped me realize how much I'd been carrying.
• Why I created Where Are My Keys? and what I hope we can discover together.

Join the BRAINHIVE conversation!

Were you diagnosed with ADHD as an adult? What was your first reaction when you finally got answers?

Or are you still trying to figure out whether ADHD might explain some of your lifelong experiences?

I'd love to hear your story.

Welcome to Where Are My Keys? A podcast about figuring out life after an adult ADHD diagnosis…one lost item, forgotten appointment, and 50-leven open tabs at a time.

I'm Vik VarWoo, and after sitting on this podcast idea for almost two years, I’m finally doing the thing! AND the gag is...I'm launching on my 50th birthday which is during ADHD Awareness Month. Perfect timing, eh? 

Around here, we’re talking about late diagnosis, executive dysfunction, dopamine, masking, work, relationships, perimenopause, identity, creativity, and all the random ADHD foolishness nobody warned us about.

Expect honesty, humor, tangents, music, and more than a few moments of:

“WAIT…THAT was ADHD?!”

If you’ve ever looked back at your life and realized your brain may have been telling a very different story than the one you were given...welcome to the BRAINHIVE!

Because apparently…we’ve been looking for more than just the keys.

Subscribe and come figure this thing out with me.
