When I shared a carousel on Instagram titled “10 ‘Normal’ Things I Didn’t Know Were ADHD,” I had no idea it would resonate so deeply. Thousands of women flooded the comments with messages like, “I’ve never felt so seen,” and “Are you living in my brain?” and honestly, I felt the same way. That post didn’t come from research or theory; it was my lived experience. In this episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on the surprising moment I discovered I have ADHD at 35 and how it’s impacted every aspect of my life: from how I run my business to how I navigate motherhood. I share the signs I missed, the strengths ADHD gave me, the hidden challenges it created, and what I’ve experimented with to support my brain, like meds, movement, and microdosing. This is part personal story, part practical insight, and part love letter to every woman who’s ever wondered why life sometimes feels harder than it “should.” If you’ve ever thought you were just “bad at life,” this episode is for you.
