Mike and Chaya sit down with Sam Led, a distinguished ADHD coach, podcaster, and the author of "Beyond ADHD," to delve into the multifaceted nature of ADHD; exploring its implications not just for diagnosed individuals but for society at large. Sam brings a treasure trove of insights, from the pressures of conforming, to reframing the "noise" in our minds as a unique cognitive experience rather than a flaw.

• "It is our inner self, which is so wise. It knows what to do, what not to do, who to trust, who not to trust. Just allow and drop into that space."
• "So we have to keep going, going and welcome those experiences because it'll teach us and we'll learn so much through those."

• "Because we are all Different and everybody has a right to have their opinion, including myself. But not letting that affect my own emotions has been my life journey."
• "ADHDers and neurodiverse have so often had their agency very much robbed from them by other people who've told them what they're capable of, what they're not capable of, what they should be doing."
