Description

What if your lifelong “drive,” perfectionism, and success were actually camouflage for undiagnosed ADHD?In this validating episode, Jami sits down with Dr. Eliza Barach — cognitive psychologist, ADHD coach, and proud ADHDer — to talk about what ADHD really looks like in high-performing women, especially those diagnosed later in life.Together, they explore why so many bright, capable adults get missed for decades, the emotional rollercoaster of finally understanding your brain, and how learning to work with ADHD (instead of fighting it) can change everything — motivation, self-worth, productivity, parenting, relationships, and life after 50.You’ll also hear candid stories about emotional dysregulation, growing up with an ADHD parent, marriage and ADHD, resilience, impulsive decisions that actually changed life for the better, and how to realistically plan when you’ve got an optimist, pessimist, and realist all living in your head.If you’ve ever felt like you “shouldn’t” struggle because you’re successful… this episode will feel like a deep exhale.Disclaimer: This episode is for education and support only and does not replace professional medical or mental health care.
