ADHD: Hyperfocus, Procrastination and Everything In Between

In this episode, we’re diving deep into a topic that’s close to our hearts—ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder). Amy shares her personal journey of being diagnosed with ADHD, and together we explore what ADHD really is, its symptoms, causes, and how it affects daily life. We’ll discuss the differences in how ADHD presents in men versus women, why so many women remain undiagnosed, and the unique challenges faced by Asian Australians. Join us for an insightful, relatable, and often humorous conversation as we break down the myths, share coping strategies, and provide valuable resources for anyone navigating ADHD.
