Hey, fam! I’m Maryah and I'm a filmmaker, AuDHDer, photographer, a woman with anxiety, a writer, and many, many, MANY more things. Long story short, I am a storyteller who cares a whole lot about mental health. This is a place where I talk about BOTH storytelling and mental health because I believe they are interconnected. After all, storytelling aims to connect with the audience on a deeper level. My goal is to explore the relationship between storytelling and mental health and to create a community where we can be seen, heard, understood, and discover ourselves.

1. the real truth of adhd and living with it as a creative and human being

I was shocked when I truly found out what ADHD was. Learning this information was a game-changer for me. I had no idea that many things that happened in my life were because of my ADHD, especially in my storytelling world.

ADHD is a very misunderstood and underdiagnosed condition. It's been researched that the life expectancy is 13 years shorter for those with ADHD than neurotypical peers. It's not something that shouldn't be taken seriously it SHOULD be taken seriously.

In today's episode (the very first episode) I talk about what is truly ADHD. I go all into the science stuff, my personal stories as a creative and human being, and a few solutions to how to live in a world that wasn't made for us ADHDers and neurodivergents.

Do you think you have ADHD or know someone who has it? Take a look at these.
