In this episode of Healthy Mind Healthy Life, host Avik Chakraborty sits down with author and entrepreneur John O’Shea to decode the reality of living with ADHD and dyslexia from inside the storm. This conversation cuts past the clichés and dives into the lived experience of a fast brain, why success and self-sabotage often coexist, and how discipline becomes the lever for reclaiming stability. The dialogue breaks down the stigma around neurodiversity and reframes it as a high-performance engine that needs the right operating system. John shares his personal crash points, the internal chemistry behind overload, and why failure becomes familiar for many neurodivergent individuals. This episode is raw, strategic, and an essential blueprint for anyone navigating a nonlinear mind in a linear world.

About the Guest :

John O’Shea is the author of NeuroSpicy, a candid memoir exploring ADHD, dyslexia, resilience, and the emotional labour behind succeeding with a fast brain. With decades of entrepreneurial wins and wipeouts, John offers an honest and practical lens on neurodiversity, discipline, self-regulation, and redesigning your life after hitting rock bottom.

Key Takeaways :

  • ADHD often presents as information overload instead of lack of attention.

  • Success can feel unsafe when your brain is conditioned by years of failure.

  • Discipline beats motivation. Consistent habits rewire emotional volatility.

  • Meditation works even for fast brains. Two minutes of quiet is still a win.

  • Failure becomes familiar because school systems reinforce shame early.

  • Partners and families need to understand the internal chaos to support effectively.

  • Neurodivergent individuals excel in entrepreneurship, innovation, and design thinking.

  • Anger can mask heartbreak and serve as a survival mechanism.

  • Rebuilding life requires radical self-honesty, sobriety, and structure.

  • Your brain is a superpower, but it can also burn you down without boundaries.
