Turning ADHD Struggles into Strengths
Update: 2025-11-10
Description
ADHD can bring creativity, energy, and passion, but it can also make everyday life feel chaotic or overwhelming.
In this episode of This Complex Life, I talk with Ron Souers, ADHD coach and host of Don’t Mind Me, I Just Have ADHD. We explore how understanding your ADHD brain can turn struggle into strength, and how self-compassion plays a huge role in that process.
You’ll hear about:
- Why ADHD is more than distraction or forgetfulness
- The emotional side of ADHD (and why self-blame makes it worse)
- What happens when we stop trying to “fix” ourselves
- Practical ways to work with your brain, not against it
- How support, structure, and self-understanding build confidence
Whether you’ve been recently diagnosed or you’ve always suspected your brain works a bit differently, this episode will help you feel seen, supported, and hopeful.
