Rich sits down with ADHD coach and author Sue Day, whose journey runs from dropping out of high school and burning out in multiple careers to embracing her diagnosis and helping others design lives that actually work for their brains. They unpack ADHD strengths (creativity, crisis focus, fairness), common myths, practical first steps after diagnosis, and Sue’s workbook-style guide, ADHD Brilliance: A Journey Into Your Extraordinary Brain. If you or someone you love has ADHD—or you simply want a more humane, strength-based way to live—this one delivers.

Guest Bio:
Sue Day is a certified ADHD coach and author of ADHD Brilliance: A Journey Into Your Extraordinary Brain. After years of masking and burnout across roles from farmhand to nonprofit finance leader and entrepreneur, she embraced her diagnosis and now coaches individuals and groups to build ADHD-friendly, strength-based lives. Her practice emphasizes compassion, executive-function tools, and designing systems around passion, not perfectionism.
Main Topics:
· Early diagnosis (1988), leaving high school, and masking vs. embracing ADHD
· Risk-seeking, nature & manual work as regulation, and burnout cycles
· College the ADHD way (experiential learning at Sterling College)
· Why nonprofits felt “right” until they didn’t; 60–80-hour weeks and getting sick
· The turning point: working with an ADHD coach; self-kindness and unmasking
· ADHD “superpowers”: creativity, crisis focus, big-picture thinking, justice/fairness
· Myths & misconceptions (it’s just for kids, intelligence assumptions, daydreamers)
