ADHD, identity, and finally connecting the dots


The Weekly Level Up

Let's level up our ADHD lives a little, shall we?

I recently sat down with Amy Stone on The Art of Imperfect Adulting to talk about what it’s like to discover you have ADHD as an adult — and how that diagnosis connected so many dots I didn’t even know were related.

We covered a lot, including:

🧩Putting the pieces together: How the challenges my oldest kiddo faced in school led me to discover my own ADHD at the age of 39.
🌀 Getting Diagnosed: The profound impact that receiving an ADHD diagnosis had on my self-perception and daily living.
🔍 The Sound of Silence: Finally getting some peace and quiet in my brain the first time I took my meds.
💬 Unlearning Stereotypes: How the stereotypes of what ADHD *should* look like leaves so many people undiagnosed for way too long.

If you’ve ever felt like you’re almost keeping up, constantly second-guessing yourself, or wondering why adulting feels harder than it should — you’re not alone. This conversation might hit home in more ways than you expect.

Hey friends, Before I dive in, a quick heads up for you: I’ve started writing on Substack. Before you ask — no, I’m not disappearing from here. This newsletter still exists, I still exist, and I’m not running off into the woods with a typewriter and a dream. (Though … tempting.) What is happening is this:I wanted a space to write a little more personally and introspectively. The kind of stuff that doesn’t always fit neatly into “helpful ADHD tips” or polished content.
