Don't feel broken.

Embrace your amazing brain.

Your ADHD is a superpower, even if it drives you crazy.

And remember, it's not that you can't focus - it's that you have trouble directing your focus when you feel overwhelmed or not that interested.

I plan on a doing a ton of episodes about this - it's a huge issue for women that I have personally experienced myself.

But now that you know - you can create systems to support you better.

Please don't feel broken, a whole new world is just beginning for you.

And you asked about how I "deal" with ADHD - the first step of ADHD is acceptance, the second stop is research, and the third is applying what you've learned to your own life.
