What is your biggest challenge with ADHD?

What does it actually mean to have ADHD as a high-achieving professional? Dr. Jennie Byrne has spent 20 years answering that question.

She's a psychiatrist, neuroscientist, and mom. Her new book, ADHD in Professionals: Embracing Your Brain, is written specifically for the people who get told they're too high-functioning to have ADHD. Spoiler: that's not how it works.

In this episode, we get into the neuroscience of why task-switching is so depleting, what a real ADHD assessment should actually include, and why so many high-achieving moms are doing fine at work and falling apart at home. (There's a reason for that. It's not what you think.)

Dr. Jennie also shares a client story that will make you want to rethink one thing in your evening routine right now.

Quick win for this episode: if you keep putting off taking care of your own ADHD, frame it this way. Managing your own brain is how you become a better parent. When you're running on empty, you're teaching your kids something. Make it intentional.
