In this episode, Luis opens up about his personal experience living with ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder), offering a candid look at how the condition shaped his life from childhood through adulthood. He describes the early signs of inattentive ADHD, a type that is often misunderstood, and the significant challenges it brought, including procrastination, burnout, and struggles with motivation—often tied to dopamine regulation.
Luis discusses the emotional toll of living undiagnosed, and how receiving the diagnoses of ADHD, anxiety, and depression became a validating and transformative moment in his mental health journey. He explains how medication has helped manage his symptoms, alongside a variety of coping strategies, such as structure, routine, and body doubling, which have been essential in improving productivity and daily functioning.
Luis and Amber also speak on how ADHD has impacted their relationship, emphasizing the importance of open communication and mutual understanding when ADHD is involved. Luis highlights how self-acceptance and a deeper understanding of your unique brain wiring are crucial for navigating life with ADHD. This episode offers valuable insight for anyone affected by ADHD, directly or indirectly, and underscores the importance of awareness, support, and tailored strategies for managing the condition effectively.
