  3. How Your Personality Influences Your ADHD Experience

    EPISODE 3

    How Your Personality Influences Your ADHD Experience

    Could ADHD struggles be shaped by something deeper — something personal? This is a question I've asked myself every time I did a personality quiz because interestingly enough, there were a number of similarities pointing directly to ADHD traits. In this episode, I dig into the science behind why ADHD symptoms might actually reflect who you are — your personality — not just the label we slap on. We’ll unpack the famed “Big Five” personality traits, explore how they overlap with ADHD, and give you concrete tests you can take (and what to do with the results). If you’ve ever felt like ADHD is only part of your story, this one’s for you. Expect science + self‑awareness + a little Gen X sass. What you’ll learn: The Big Five personality traits (Openness, Conscientiousness, Extraversion, Agreeableness, Neuroticism) — what they are, how they show up. How these traits map onto ADHD symptoms and executive‑function challenges. That ADHD isn’t the only explanation for why you act, feel, think the way you do. Your personality plays a huge role. Practical tests you can take (Big Five, 16 Personalities, Sacred Money Archetypes) to get clearer on you. Why knowing your personality and ADHD profile helps you build strategies that amplify your strengths (instead of just “fixing your deficits”). 16 Personalities Quiz Myers Briggs personality test Sacred Money Archetypes assessment Any questions?

    EPISODE 5

    Why Trying Harder Isn’t The Answer (But This is)

    As women ADHDers, we’ve been conditioned to try harder, make more effort and apply ourselves more because it was perceived as laziness, character flaws, attitude problems, defiance and brokenness. Instead of feeling safe you felt insecure because who you were didn’t even come close to matching others’ expectations. If your uniquely wired brain went unnoticed or overlooked and you’re tired of trying to please everyone at your own expense, you’re in the right place. This is where you say goodbye to old patterns, stop trying harder and discover how you can actually support your ADHD mind, and the one of those you love. Any questions?
