Caryn wasn’t diagnosed with ADHD until she was 46 but she’s known that she has ADHD since grade school. Caryn always felt that her ADHD worked for her until one day she woke up and it suddenly didn’t. She decided then and there to go visit a doctor. Like many of our first experiences with doctors and ADHD, her doctors didn’t want to talk about ADHD because they knew little about how it presented in women. Instead, they wanted to prescribe her anxiety medication. Caryn stuck to her guns and the rest, as they say, is history. I asked Caryn Prall: What made her finally seek out an ADHD diagnosis If she always knew that there was something different about her than her peers About her childhood, relationships with friends and school What she thinks her biggest strengths are How is it that she’s so successful but yet so open about her ADHD If she thinks she’s successful because of her ADHD or in spite of it What workarounds has she developed to reduce her weaknesses The best advice she can give to women of any age who feel that they’re not living to their potential Caryn also shared her reasons for starting her fantastic podcast The Messy Empire which is all about what it takes to build a 2 billion dollar real estate empire and how this all relates to her ADHD.
