From Chaos to Clarity. The Untold Truth of ADHD in Adulthood.
In this episode, Sean speaks with Terence Mentor, who shares his personal journey and experiences with ADHD. Terence opens up about the challenges he faced before understanding his condition and how speaking openly about it has helped him feel less alone. They discuss the internal chaos and struggles of living with ADHD, as well as the moments of hyper-focus and clarity that bring excitement and fulfillment. Terence also shares his process of getting diagnosed and the relief that came with understanding his brain works differently.
Terence speaks about:
Living, working and parenting with ADHD,
The process of getting a diagnosis,
Reducing the feeling of operating from a deficit,
And how the world is not designed for people who are neurodivergent.
The international symbol for Mental Health Awareness is a green ribbon. Reason being that green signifies new life, new growth, and new beginnings, so I thought I would drop an "Easter Egg" in this episode. A green heart.
