Guest: Emily Fitzpatrick, a CBC video journalist, candidly shares her personal journey with ADHD and broader neurodiversity. She explores how embracing self-awareness and choosing grace over guilt transformed her relationships, workplace experiences, and mental health.

Emily reflects on the challenges of a late diagnosis, the impact of executive dysfunction and rejection sensitivity, and how these shaped her path toward authentic living. She also discusses the power of advocacy—both personal and community-based—to reduce stigma and foster acceptance.

Platforms like TikTok have played a significant role in amplifying neurodivergent voices and fostering supportive networks. This episode offers practical insights and encouragement for anyone navigating life with ADHD or seeking to better understand neurodiversity in themselves or others.

Can we live with ADHD and still choose self-compassion over shame? Emily says yes.
