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.
