Sydni shares her personal journey, starting from her childhood experiences of feeling different and misunderstood. She discusses the impact of societal expectations and the constant criticism she faced for behaviours she couldn't control.

Sydni opens up about the anxiety and feelings of isolation that stemmed from feeling like she'd missed the "memo on how to be human."

Later in the episode, Sydni and Eli discuss the power of self-awareness and understanding the science behind ADHD. Sydni, with her background in biology and chemistry, explains how learning about the brain's wiring helped her normalise her experiences and find peace.

They also explore the essential role of technology in navigating the challenges of ADHD. Sydni shares her favourite digital tools, including ChatGPT and Notion, and explains how they help her with organisation, communication, and creative expression.

This episode is a must-listen for anyone wanting to gain a deeper understanding of the lived experience of ADHD.

Whether you're neurodivergent yourself, supporting someone with ADHD, or simply curious to learn more, Sydni's story offers a message of hope and empowerment.

It's a reminder that ADHD is not a deficit, but a different way of thinking, and with the right support, individuals with ADHD can leverage their unique strengths and thrive.
