S2E3: Will - Embrace your ADHD self to better interact with the world
Manage episode 382409358 series 3489666
Will is an Australian currently pursuing his Ph.D. in astrophysics in the Netherlands. Chatting with Will, I discovered that we share quite a few common quirks. Neither of us particularly enjoys the endless meetings that seem to go nowhere, and we find small talk to be a bit of a chore. Instead, we prefer diving into meaningful conversations on topics that genuinely pique our interest. However, unlike me, Will has a real passion for sports, and he's convinced that without regular physical activity, he'd likely go a little stir-crazy.
In this episode, we delve into his diagnosis journey, his thoughts on ADHD medications, and his personal growth as someone living with ADHD. And, of course, we took a lighthearted detour to understand why people frequently feign intense attention when others are speaking, even when they're not truly engaged in the conversation.
This episode was recorded while me traveling in Madrid, and Will was in Leiden. This episode marks the third installment of the second season of "Wondering Zoe." In this season, I've invited eight friends to share their love-hate relationship with ADHD. And for those of you who are new to the topic, tuning in to this season of my podcast can serve as an excellent starting point.
I also want to extend an invitation. If you're looking for an ADHD coach to help you understand your symptoms and find ways to tackle challenges that suit you in your learning, work, relationships, and life, feel free to reach out to me at WonderingZoe0526@gmail.com.
I also welcome any suggestions or feedback on this podcast. Your input is invaluable, and I appreciate each and every one of you. Thanks!
