If you’ve ever wondered, “Do I have ADHD, or am I just overwhelmed?” — you’re not alone.

In this episode, I’m breaking down what really happens when bright, capable adults start questioning whether ADHD might be behind their constant forgetfulness, scattered focus, or feeling of “never quite keeping up.”

We’ll talk about how ADHD actually shows up in adults, what other conditions can look a lot like it, and what to do if you suspect you might have it. You’ll learn how to get a proper evaluation, what kind of professional to see, and what options exist if testing or therapy just aren’t accessible right now.

You’ll also hear why so many high-functioning adults fall through the cracks — and how to finally get support that works for your brain, with or without a diagnosis.

💡 What You’ll Learn:

• The difference between true ADHD and look-alike conditions like anxiety, depression, or sleep disorders
• Why women and high-achieving adults are often misdiagnosed or overlooked
• How to get a proper ADHD evaluation — and what to expect from testing
• What to do if ADHD isn’t the answer but you still feel stuck
• The roles of therapy, medication, and ADHD coaching (and how they work together)
• How to find affordable, realistic, brain-friendly support right now
