Many believe difficulty focusing is a lack of willpower, but the reality is far more complex.In this episode, we pull back the curtain on the reality of ADHD in high-achieving adults with Dawn Keating, a Certified ADHD Coach and brain expert who has ADHD herself.Dawn shares her incredible journey when her desire for a diagnosis at age 48 was dismissed by a doctor, who instead blamed it on a "mid-life crisis" and suggested weight loss. She shares how she used her background in healthcare and neuroscience to create a personalized coaching system, enabling high-achieving adults to regain control over their focus, emotional clarity, and lives.If you've ever felt exhausted from constantly struggling with things that seem easy for everyone else, this is an episode you can't afford to miss.In this video, you will learn:1. Why doctors often misdiagnose or refuse to diagnose ADHD in successful or high-achieving adults.2. The importance of Executive Function and how its weaknesses can lead to dissonance: you're brilliant at work, but struggle with small tasks at home.3. The difference between being a "slow learner" and simply having a different learning style (and how teachers can fail to understand this).4. Why for the ADHD brain, 'Urgency', 'Novelty', and 'Challenge' are much stronger fuels than simply 'Importance'.5. How major life events—like having children, marriage, or a new job—can make hidden ADHD symptoms more apparent.---------------------------------------------------------------------Chapters00:00 - Rejected ADHD Diagnosis and Stigma01:08 - Introduction: Dawn Keating, Coach for High-Achieving Adults with ADHD02:36 - Dawn's Personal Journey: From Healthcare Nurse to ADHD Coach04:41 - The "Trigger" Moment: Child's Diagnosis Sparks Her Own Search for Help07:35 - Why High-Achieving Adults Feel Exhausted and Overwhelmed11:12 - ADHD is an "Invisible Impairment"12:31 - Stories on Different Learning Methods and Hidden Talents16:12 - The "Left-Handed Scissors" Analogy: The World Isn't Designed for Everyone20:01 - Why You Can Close Multi-Million Dollar Deals but Forget to Buy Milk22:44 - Life Moments That Make ADHD More Prominent (Executive Function)---------------------------------------------------------------Connect with Dawn Keating (ADHD BRAIN UNDERSTOOD)For ADHD support and neuroscience-backed strategies, connect with Dawn Keating:Website: https://www.adhdbrainunderstood.com/Facebook: https://web.facebook.com/adhdbrainunderstood?_rdc=1&_rdr#Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/adhdbrainunderstood/
