Description

In this raw and nonlinear debut, Caroline cracks open the first chapter of Diagnosis Diaries—a podcast that explores ADHD not as a flaw, but as a lived experience. Episode 1 revisits her diagnosis at age twelve, the fog that followed, and the system’s response: pills, appointments, and a whole lot of confusion. Through voice notes, narration, and emotionally honest storytelling, Caroline unpacks what it meant then, what it means now, and why this podcast exists. It’s not a TED Talk. It’s a diary. A browser with 47 tabs open and one of them is playing music she can’t find. 🎧 Topics include: * Getting diagnosed with ADHD as a kid * The myth of “smart but lazy” * Time blindness, hyperfocus, and emotional overwhelm * Reclaiming the narrative through storytelling * Why clocks are fake and booster pills are not personality This episode is for anyone who’s ever felt foggy, brilliant, exhausted, hilarious—and deeply misunderstood. If your brain runs on vibes, urgency, and forgotten tabs, you might feel seen here. Subscribe, share, or save it for the days when your brain feels like a chaotic art studio with no janitor. You’re not broken. You’re just wired differently. #DiagnosisDiaries #ADHDPodcast #NeurodivergentNotBroken #CreativeChaos #Episode1
