Episode notes

Societal norms often expect individuals to function in a particular way, but it may not align with how everyone's brain works. Embracing neurodiversity opens up the conversation about understanding how each person's brain functions uniquely to determine what they need to succeed, be productive, and find happiness. Without acceptance of neurodiversity, exploring individual needs and pathways to success becomes difficult.

294. What ADHD Feels Like with Jaklin Levine-Pritzker

ADHD coach and mental health advocate, Jaklin Levine-Pritzker, shares about her late-in-life ADHD diagnosis and what ADHD feels like day to day. Jak reveals the unique challenges faced by those – especially women and non-binary people – who don’t fit the stereotypical ADHD mold. We discuss the emotional impacts of ADHD, its benefits, and how people with ADHD can design a life that serves their brain's unique wiring instead of conforming to a neurotypical world.

Plus, Jak offers valuable advice for relationships between neurotypical and neurodivergent people.
