We are your hosts, Lauren and Lindsay, and we are so thrilled to bring you The Wavy Brain. We are two ADHD coaches on a mission to get more people talking about the different ways our brains work, so we can embrace the good, bad, and ugly to see more of what our wavy brains can do. In our first episode, Lauren talks about her experience with ADHD and shares some wisdom from her experience.
Mentioned in this Episode:
- Lauren talks about her experience in finally learning about her ADHD at age 39 and how it explained so much about her struggles in school, work, and beyond.
- She shares what it was like going to law school as someone who is neurodivergent.
- Lauren says how helpful it was to meet and connect with others with similar challenges during her ADHD coach training.
- We discuss the importance of picking careers that are a great match for your specific needs.
- The paradoxical nature of ADHD when it comes to overwhelm and working under pressure.
- How having a diagnosis empowers you with the information you need to start your personal wellness journey.
Quotes:
- “Meeting people who understood me in this way, and were like me in this way, and we've kind of understood each other on this different level it was just so powerful. I feel like I was able to be my authentic self kind of for the first time.”
- “I feel so strongly about people picking (or at least trying to pick) careers for themselves that are better matches, or at least being armed with more information going into it to try to figure out a good match for themselves, rather than following the herd blindly.”
- “Overwhelm just shuts down the ADHD brain.”
- “It’s really important to figure out some sort of way to hit that sweet spot and not be paralyzed with overwhelmedness, but still motivated to do your work.”
- “We sometimes need a label to just at least learn about ourselves in a particular way, and kind of ground ourselves in something.”
