EPISODE 31- Misdiagnosed: ADHD, Big Emotions & the Power of Self-Regulation

In this deeply personal episode, I open up about the time I was misdiagnosed with borderline personality disorder, when in reality, I had undiagnosed ADHD. I now understand how easy it is to mistake unmanaged ADHD symptoms for something else entirely, especially when those symptoms include emotional outbursts, perfectionism, impulsivity, and high highs followed by crashing lows. I talk about how ADHD affects emotional regulation, how it often mimics depression or bipolar traits, and how untreated symptoms can spill into every area of life, from relationships to parenting. I share how I've learned to sit with discomfort, regulate my nervous system, and rewire old patterns and why doing this work isn't just for me, but for my sons too.  This episode is for anyone who has ever felt misunderstood, misdiagnosed, or stuck in cycles of emotional chaos. If you're a parent, a partner, or someone learning to manage ADHD, I hope this helps you feel seen and supported. You're not alone and with effort, real change is possible.
