Attention Different | Adulting with ADHD Unlearning Survival Mode with William Curb
Today, we sit down with Will Curb, host of Hacking Your ADHD, to talk about dismantling shame, redefining ‘Effort,’ and building strategies that actually work for ADHD brains.From late diagnoses to using stress as a survival tool, the ADHD experience is full of patterns that really start to make sense once you begin to understand your own brain.
Join Will & Aaron & Stephen as they explore:
- Why Anxiety became Will’s “go-to” time management tool.
- How a Radical Acceptance based mindset informs Will’s approach to parenting (and so much more).
- What happens when we mistake “having a genuinely difficult time” for “not working or trying hard enough”?
- ADHD Adulting tools and reframes that support long-term growth.
- How empathy and grace—especially directed at ourselves—can be non-negotiable.
If you’ve ever felt like you’re constantly behind or beating yourself up for not doing “enough,” this episode is a reminder: “Trying” looks different with ADHD—you are making an effort and it shows; your efforts matter.
