130: Late-Diagnosed ADHD: Why I Waited So Long (And Why You Shouldn’t)
I’m finally baaaaaaack! And this one’s JUICY. 🎙️ Before we dive into today’s topic, some quick life updates: Storage Theory got denied by Target, but APPROVED by Hy-Vee and were invited to their annual Summit in September. Oh...and we’re also approved to pitch Lowe’s next month. $500 for a 20-minute pitch. TBD how it goes, but we’re in the room. 👀 Now, the real topic of today’s episode: I was recently diagnosed with ADHD. And I’m now on medication. Why now? Dozens of women have shared their ADHD med success stories with me over the past year. So many of us chalk it up to “mom brain” or just juggling too much — life, business, kids’ schedules, all of it. I kept getting the nudge and finally asked myself: what if this could take some of the weight off? My “self-diagnosed ADHD brain” stopped being a running joke and started being a real anchor holding me back. I used to think I was the queen of multitasking — until I became the queen of chaos . The struggles that got me here: My son asked me to grab him a snack. I started cleaning the deck. I’d walk into a room to get something and stand there with zero idea why I walked in. Start a million projects. Maybe finished one. Little things, but they added up. My goal: Short term, I just want to calm the noise in my brain: feel more productive, less reactive, less overwhelmed. Long term? I want to feel like myself again, without this ADHD anchor weighing down every part of my life. The message I want you to walk away with: It’s okay to admit you need help. It’s okay to help yourself. It took me 37 years. PLEASE don’t wait that long. STORAGE THEORY: Join the NEW Storage Theory text list! - text "LIST" to 563-235-1777 to join today!
