Understanding ADHD: Insights from a Late Diagnosis and Embracing Neurodivergence

In this episode of The Unfinished Idea, I sit down with Merideth to talk about how life shifts after an ADHD diagnosis—and how suddenly, so many things just make sense. Merideth opens up about her own journey, sharing how for years she didn’t realize she had ADHD and the ways it impacted her life without her even knowing. From missed signs to daily struggles, she reflects on what it was like living undiagnosed and how receiving a diagnosis brought clarity, understanding, and self-compassion. I also share parts of my own ADHD journey and how Merideth’s book has been a game-changer for me. Whether you’ve recently been diagnosed, suspect you might have ADHD, or are just curious to learn more, this episode is full of relatable stories, insights, and reflections that might just help you feel seen. If you’ve ever felt like something wasn’t quite adding up, this episode is for you.
