Turning ADHD Struggles into Strengths
Manage episode 518760382 series 2503074
ADHD can bring creativity, energy, and passion, but it can also make everyday life feel chaotic or overwhelming.
In this episode of This Complex Life, I talk with Ron Souers, ADHD coach and host of Don’t Mind Me, I Just Have ADHD. We explore how understanding your ADHD brain can turn struggle into strength, and how self-compassion plays a huge role in that process.
You’ll hear about:
- Why ADHD is more than distraction or forgetfulness
- The emotional side of ADHD (and why self-blame makes it worse)
- What happens when we stop trying to “fix” ourselves
- Practical ways to work with your brain, not against it
- How support, structure, and self-understanding build confidence
Whether you’ve been recently diagnosed or you’ve always suspected your brain works a bit differently, this episode will help you feel seen, supported, and hopeful.
