"Humour was the only way I knew to deal with Life" with Amy Miller

from Out Loud With Cindy Schwartz · host Cindy Schwartz

Amy Miller spent most of her life wondering why she felt different. Growing up, humour wasn't just entertainment, it was survival. Amy learned early on to use comedy as a way to navigate life's challenges, mask her struggles, and find connection in a world where she never quite felt like she belonged. She talks openly about feeling out of step with others, speaking too fast, thinking too fast, and constantly questioning her place.  When the most important person in her life, her mother and lifelong map, died, Amy found herself navigating a world she no longer knew how to move through. After years of trying to reinvent herself and understand who she was, she continued searching for answers. It wasn't until perimenopause amplified symptoms she had unknowingly lived with for decades that Amy was finally diagnosed with ADHD in her 40s. Suddenly, a lifetime of experiences began to make sense. In this candid conversation, Amy shares how ADHD shaped her identity, and how understanding her neurodivergence changed the way she sees herself and her past. Today, she is passionate about helping others who have spent their lives feeling different, misunderstood, or like they never quite fit into the boxes the world created for them. This is a conversation about identity, belonging, resilience, and what happens when the missing piece finally falls into place.
