Episode Synopsis

In this first of a two-part series, Lara Land sits down with Ron Souers—ADHD advocate, podcast host of Don’t Mind Me, I’m Different, and author of The Self Discovery—to explore the lived experience of ADHD and the unexpected strengths that come with it. Ron shares his personal journey with ADHD and depression, from the challenges of racing thoughts and emotional dysregulation to the harmful impact of being told “you’re not good enough” at a young age. He breaks down the three types of ADHD, common misconceptions, and how sensitivity often fuels both overreactions and deep empathy. This episode highlights how ADHD is not a deficit but an overload of information, and how reframing that difference can unlock creativity, innovation, and problem-solving. Ron also offers practical strategies—mindfulness adaptations, projecting into your future self, and nature-based practices—that help him stay grounded and focused.Together, Lara and Ron discuss:What ADHD feels like from the insideHow friends, family, and colleagues can better support those who are neurodivergentThe dangers of forced conformity and the power of self-acceptanceWhy mindfulness is Ron’s go-to tool for balance, resilience, and presenceThis conversation is full of wisdom, honesty, and encouragement—whether you’re living with ADHD or simply want to understand it better.Stay tuned for Part Two of this conversation on Ron’s podcast: Don’t Mind Me, I Just Have ADHD.Website | Instagram---------------------------------------Your support keeps this podcast going!
