Do you ever wonder if you have ADHD or ADD? Spoiler alert: ADD isn’t even a thing anymore. In this episode, I’m breaking down what ADHD really is, the inconsistent focus, the emotional rollercoaster (hello rejection sensitive dysphoria), and why it looks so different for everyone.
I share what it actually feels like to live with ADHD, why so many of us get misdiagnosed for years, and one small habit that can start rebuilding your self-confidence today. If you’ve ever felt inconsistent, scattered, or like you’re “too much,” you’re exactly who this episode is for.
