ADHD and Trauma Pt 8: Reclaiming Wholeness & The Myth of Being Broken

Disclaimer: This podcast is for informational purposes only and does not constitute medical advice.

Episode 043: Welcome back to Don’t Mind Me, I Just Have ADHD — the show that meets you at the intersection of neurodivergence, trauma, addiction, and healing. Hosted by Ron Souers, this series isn’t about fixing what’s “wrong” with you — it’s about exposing the systems that taught you to believe you were broken in the first place.

In Part 8 of the ADHD & Trauma series, with fierce kindness and unflinching honesty, Ron explores what it means to stop trying to “fix” yourself and start reclaiming your wholeness — even if you feel unfinished, overwhelmed, or disconnected.

Drawing on groundbreaking insights from Dr. Gabor Maté, Internal Family Systems (IFS), Mindfulness-Based Strengths Practice (MBSP), and lived experience, this podcast goes beyond surface-level self-help. Each episode is a wake-up call — to stop numbing, stop performing, and start meeting yourself exactly where you are.

This is your invitation to stop chasing wholeness and realize: You were never broken. You’ve simply been waiting to be seen.
Whether you're living with ADHD, navigating addiction, or trying to understand a loved one — this is your wake-up call.

💡 What You’ll Learn

• Why masking, people-pleasing, and overachievement keep you disconnected from your true self.

• Practical tools like Mindfulness-Based Strengths Practice (MBSP) to build self-trust instead of self-hate.

• How to practice fierce kindness as an act of rebellion in a shame-driven world.

• Simple, actionable steps to stop spiraling and start showing up for yourself — unfinished, unpolished, but whole.

• Stories of hope and transformation that show you’re not alone on this path.
