After the “Fiesty” episode, a listener asked me a question that stopped me in my tracks:"What do you do with the weight that comes with owning who you are?"
That conversation inspired this week’s episode—Rising Above Labels: Defying Gravity with ADHD.
In this deeply personal episode, we’re talking about the emotional gravity that comes with ADHD—how labels, expectations, and self-doubt can quietly pull us down—and what it really means to rise anyway.
Join me as I share stories, reflections, and science on how to:
Release the weight of old labels and rewrite your own story
Understand the emotional “gravity” of ADHD and find your lift
Model self-compassion and strength for ADHD kids
Transform shame into curiosity, creativity, and confidence
This week’s hat—Defy Gravity—reminds us that flight isn’t about ignoring the weight. It’s about learning how to rise with it.
So grab your backpack, take a breath, and let’s climb—one step, one story, one moment of lift at a time.
