ADHD Type, Action, and Entrepreneurial Advantage

Welcome to another episode of ADHD-ish!

Today, host Diann Wingert is joined by psychologist and viral TikTok creator Dr. Dante for a raw, insightful look at the "Neurodivergent Edge"—how ADHD traits transform not just personal relationships but entrepreneurial success.

In this conversation, Dr. Dante shares the story behind his celebrated term "neuro baddies," celebrating the honesty, intensity, and creativity that neurodivergent women bring to the table.

Together, Diann & Dante explore why society’s negative perceptions of ADHD traits miss the mark, how trauma bonds form, and how rejection sensitivity and perfectionism can be reframed as superpowers in both love and business.

You’ll hear candid stories, hard-hitting truths about justice sensitivity, and practical wisdom on breaking free from toxic relationships—plus, a message for neurodivergent women struggling with self-acceptance.

If you’ve ever wondered how your different way of thinking can be your biggest asset, this episode will inspire you to name it, claim it, and embrace the title of“neuro baddie” proudly.

4. Entrepreneurial Superpowers: How “all-in” energy, justice sensitivity, and relentless action drive success in business (yep, your ADHD traits are an asset!).
5. Healing Starts With Self-Trust: Why learning to trust yourself is the real game-changer, despite years of negative feedback.
