In this weeks episode I reflect on her childhood experiences with undiagnosed ADHD, recounting memories that shaped her sense of self. From struggling with feeling simultaneously smart and inadequate and navigating the complexities of school life while grappling with societal expectations and internalized criticism. As I delves into the impact of ADHD on my mental health, I will sheds light on the pervasive negativity experienced by children with ADHD, highlighting the detrimental effects of rejection sensitivity dysphoria (RSD) and the quest for self-acceptance.

In this episode I share issues that can lead to mental health issues. Lifelong  masking, perfectionism, and internalized stigma that culminated in debilitating depression and anxiety in your late 30s-40s. But I won't just leave you there with all the hard stuff. I will share how finding purpose and working towards self acceptance, among other mental health strategies can help as we fight back.
