Episode # 018: Get ready to rethink everything you know about ADHD with Don’t Mind Me, I’m Different, where in this episode, I’m joined by PK Kulasegram(they/them), a late-diagnosed ADHD powerhouse and co-founder of Simply Equality—a social enterprise smashing barriers for neurodivergent and LGBTQ+ folks. We unpack PK’s journey from shame spirals to self-acceptance, exploring how ADHD isn’t just “squirrel brain” but a complex mix of emotional rollercoasters, dopamine hunts in a world that’s not built for us. It’s a convo packed with laughs, aha moments, and a fierce call to rewrite the rules—whether it’s at work or in life.

This isn’t just chatter—it’s a game-changer. PK and I dig into the messy truth of masking ADHD, the power of meds (or mindfulness), and exactly why workplaces need to stop playing fairness police and start embracing flexibility. From spite-fueled wins to intersectional battles, we’re peeling back the layers of stigma and handing you tools to thrive. Whether you’re an ADHD warrior, an ally, or just curious, this episode will leave you fired up to own your differences and demand a world that bends for you—not the other way around.

Three Main Takeaways:

1. ADHD is More Than Hyperactivity: It’s not just about bouncing off walls—emotional dysregulation, shame, and dopamine-driven impulses shape the experience, especially when diagnosed later in life.

2. Flexibility Trumps Fairness: Workplaces thrive when they ditch rigid “everyone gets the same” rules and embrace creative adjustments—like late starts or music—to suit diverse brains.

3. Own Your Story: Whether through meds, coaching, or curiosity, understanding your ADHD lets you shed the shame and build a life (and job) that fits you, not society’s mold.
