Think ADHD is just for kids? Think again.
In this powerful episode, I sit down with ADHD strategist Skye Waterson to unpack what adult ADHD really looks like—and why so many high performers are missed or misdiagnosed.
We explore:
- Why ADHD often hides in high achievers
- The link between burnout and executive dysfunction
- What dopamine has to do with motivation
- How to build habits and structure that actually stick
- Practical tools like the Focus Filter and sensory rewards
If you’ve ever felt scattered, time-blind, or stuck in shiny-object mode—this one’s for you.
