In this episode, Alicia explores the personal journey of discovering she had ADHD in her 40s, a revelation that significantly changed her understanding of herself, her career, and her approach to parenting. Joined by her guest, ADHD coach Nancy Disbrow, the two discuss the challenges of navigating corporate America with an ADHD brain and the feelings of inadequacy that often accompany trying to fit into a system designed for neurotypical individuals. They share how understanding ADHD as a strength, rather than a weakness, can be transformative. Alicia reflects on how, despite seeking flexibility and creativity in her career, she found herself imposing rigid standards on her children, similar to how her corporate bosses had treated her. The conversation covers practical tips for managing ADHD at work and home, including setting up guardrails like reducing distractions, creating structured routines, and being mindful of diet and lifestyle factors. The pair discuss the importance of unmasking and embracing neurodiversity, both for themselves and for their children, emphasizing the need for self-acceptance and compassionate leadership. The episode highlights the value of unlearning societal expectations and crafting systems that allow people with ADHD to thrive, whether as leaders, parents, or partners.   Nancy Disbrow Owner, Neuro-osity  https://neuro-osity.com/   Sunsama App https://www.sunsama.com/     _____   This podcast is made possible by our ridiculously amazing sponsors, who saw an opportunity to support women in their day-to-day journeys by joining together to make this podcast a reality.
