Recovery and the ADHD Advantage

ADHD: Not Bored—Brilliant

In this episode, we explore how restlessness, boredom, and daydreaming can be signs of deep awareness—not dysfunction. From hidden library pages to early critical thinking, Ellen shares how High Perceivers are wired to notice what others overlook—and why that difference matters.

Anger, Recovery, and ADHD

Many people with ADHD aren't just highly perceptive—they're deeply sensitive to injustice. In this episode, we explore how unacknowledged anger often fuels anxiety, depression, and burnout. When understood, that anger becomes a clarifying force—not just for ADHDers, but for all humans.

The Myth of "Too Sensitive" and ADHD

If you've ever been told you're too sensitive or that you're overreacting, this episode is for you. I explore what it means to be a High Perceiver—my term for ADHD. We’ll talk about the toll of being highly attuned in a world that favors numbness, how gaslighting erodes self-trust, and why many of us turned to substances not to escape—but to quiet the noise.

Friending Our Emotions

We feel emotions physically because they're necessary for guiding us in life, but we've been taught to suppress or avoid them. Suppressing emotions can cause tension in the body and lead to issues. Learning to work with emotions is a valuable skill that can improve our overall well-being and help us navigate challenging times without hurting ourselves or others—a skill the entire world could use.
