🤔Ever notice that you struggle with tasks that feel like they should be easy? 👉Maybe it's something as simple as opening mail, responding to emails or keeping your inbox organised, but somehow it feels like an insurmountable hurdle. 🙏Social media posts describing traits that described me and explaining how ADHD affects executive function stopped me in my tracks. 🎙️It led to conversations, reflections, soul searching, grief and ultimately a diagnosis. 🎢It was one hell of a roller coaster ride. 🎧In an act that feels very vulnerable, I have shared my story on my podcast, “Magnetic Pod”. 🌈I talk about how I went through the process of getting diagnosed with ADHD, inattentive type. It was a challenging journey, with stories of women not being believed, being misdiagnosed, or told they couldn't have it. 💖But through it all, I've come to understand that ADHD isn't just a deficit or a disorder - it's a neurodiverse way of thinking that can bring unique strengths and perspectives. Many successful entrepreneurs have ADHD and use it as a superpower. 🌟In sharing my story, I hope to help others who may be struggling with ADHD, or simply looking for more ways to understand and appreciate themselves. If you resonate with my story, I'd love to hear from you - drop a comment or send me a DM on Instagram (). 😘Thanks for listening, and I'll see you next time on Magnetic Pod!

NEW EPISODE: Untangling ADHD & life after Burn Out! This episode deep dives into the Struggles & the Strengths that come from living as what I like to call a ‘Can’t Stop Won’t Stop’ ADHDer. Hana openly and wholeheartedly shares her story of her recent struggle with burnout, which has become a turning point in her life that transformed her relationship with work and identity. Throughout this episode, Hannah and I share the intimate struggles of living with that strong desire and need to achieve that is often embodied by many individuals with ADHD and how embracing our neurodiversity is not just about managing symptoms but unlocking our true creative potential. We discuss how peeling away the layers of our professional selves can support us in uncovering the core of our being, revealing that sometimes, the bravest thing we can do is retreat and recharge. We cover addictive behaviours that are celebrated by society, self-worth, and the art of storytelling whilst celebrating the strength that comes from authenticity and the importance of community. Listen as we unfold the transformative power of allowing ourselves to flow with creativity and the courage it takes to seek support and be vulnerable in the face of mental exhaustion. Hannah embodies resilience, authenticity, kindness and creativity and this heart-to-heart is a celebration of finding strength in vulnerability and the significance of connections that lift us higher. So what are you waiting for? Let’s get Untangled and show the world what we are made of! https://lnkd.in/e6_QCv3b

ADHD pisses me off. I was diagnosed at 45, and that was very freeing. It did not give me an excuse for how I was as a kid, but it sure is an explanation. Some days I want to focus more. Some days I want to turn off. Some days I want to stop thinking. I've learned to cope with it over the years: doodling, listening to music, making lists, and more. But it still pisses me off because of how much harder I have to work to get things done. With that said, if you want things to be creatively done and figured out, bring the ADHD. We will always find the shortcut, workaround, or the hack. Why? Because we can't stand to be bored and do mundane things. We will work stupid long hours, especially if we get hyper-focused. We have so much knowledge because we have learned a little about a lot of things. We may forget to put the dishes away and close the cabinet, but we build companies.
