Episode # 020: Hey, my ADHD squad, strap in for episode 20 of Don’t Mind Me, I’m Different—we’re hunting a sneaky villain: stigma, not ADHD! Picture me, dodging life’s squirrels to call out The Shadow, that jerk whispering “you’re broken” every time my brain pinballs. From ancient Greece’s burn marks to today’s side-eyes at my desk chaos, stigma’s been gatekeeping our shine forever. I’m spilling my guts—how I thought I was the glitch ‘til I learned it’s just society’s bad script. This episode's a wild ride through shame, labels, and why we’re epic because of our wiring—so grab your headphones and strap in!

We’re shredding The Shadow’s tricks—think Doubt Weaver calling you “lazy” or Silence Enforcer zipping your lips. Stigma’s not just rude, it’s a health thief, jacking your confidence and care. But we’re fighting back—self-love, loud truth, and ADHD crew vibes are our weapons. Hit play for laughs, heart, and a battle cry to own your chaos. This one’s for anyone who’s ever felt “less”—spoilers: you’re a freakin’ superhero. Join the squad at patreon.com/RonSouers and let’s smoke out the mole!

Three Takeaways:

1. Hug Your Chaos: ADHD’s your spark, not a flaw—tell The Shadow to buzz off by listing three wins today.

2. Spill One Truth: Share a tiny ADHD fact or your depression with a pal— blow the lid off and bust a myth all while shrinking stigma’s grip.

3. Question the Noise: Hear “you’re messy”? Ask, “Says who?”—your strengths outshine The Shadow’s lies.
