In this episode, I sit down with ADHD coach and podcast host Kristen Carder for a deeply honest conversation about adult ADHD, self-regulation, addiction, and why calling ADHD a “superpower” can actually be harmful. Kristen shares her personal journey, the science behind ADHD treatment, and how mislabeling symptoms leads to shame, burnout, and substance use.


This episode offers clarity, compassion, and hope for anyone who’s ever wondered why they’re capable—but still struggling.
