Episode 026: When ADHD doesn’t look like procrastination, it can go unnoticed for decades. In this heartfelt episode, Amazon director, ADHD and leadership coach and fellow neurodivergent advocate Wainwright Yu joins the podcast to share his journey of discovering his own neurodivergence after his children’s diagnoses—and how it flipped everything he thought he knew about himself, parenting, and success.

We dive deep into:

• How ADHD shows up differently and can remain undetected

• Cultural stigma around neurodiversity especially at school

• The decision to homeschool a neurodivergent child and how that can actually work

• Strength-based coaching and why mindfulness is essential

• Breaking free from the myth of the “blank slate”

Whether you're late-diagnosed, parenting neurodivergent kids, or just craving a more compassionate way to live and lead—this episode is for you.
