How to make ADHD Your Superpower and Support your Loved Ones with ADHD

What if ADHD wasn’t a problem, but a secret weapon? Let’s explore!

If you or someone you love has ADHD, you know it can feel like a whirlwind—a little chaotic, a little unpredictable, but definitely never boring. What if I told you that whirlwind isn’t a flaw, but a feature?

ADHD doesn’t have to hold you back; in fact, it might just be your greatest superpower.

In this episode of High Vibin’ It, Lynnsey and I sit down with the hilarious and insightful Penn and Kim Holderness (yep, the YouTube stars and bestselling authors you know and love!). They share their personal journey of reframing ADHD, unpack the hidden strengths that come with it, and dish out practical tips for thriving with ADHD—or supporting someone who has it.

Whether you’re managing your own ADHD or just trying to understand and help a loved one, this episode is packed with aha moments, laugh-out-loud stories, and life-changing insights. Trust me, you’ll walk away feeling empowered and maybe even a little proud of that beautiful ADHD brain.
