Today, we sit down with Will Curb, host of Hacking Your ADHD, to talk about dismantling shame, redefining ‘Effort,’ and building strategies that actually work for ADHD brains.From late diagnoses to using stress as a survival tool, the ADHD experience is full of patterns that really start to make sense once you begin to understand your own brain.

Why Anxiety became Will’s “go-to” time management tool.
How a Radical Acceptance based mindset informs Will’s approach to parenting (and so much more).

ADHD Adulting tools and reframes that support long-term growth.
How empathy and grace—especially directed at ourselves—can be non-negotiable.

Radical Acceptance | Lab

Monday, November 25, 2024 • Duration 08:36

Welcome to the Radical Acceptance Lab, a unique series created by Attention Different for those navigating ADHD and looking to transform shame into self-compassion. 💡

In this lab, we dive deep into the concept of radical acceptance—a powerful tool for recognizing our unique strengths and moving beyond the cycle of self-criticism. Through honest discussions, personal stories, and insights from ADHD advocates, we explore what it means to embrace our brains as they are, without needing to “fix” or change ourselves to meet unrealistic expectations. Radical acceptance helps us see that ADHD is not separate from us; it’s part of our identity that enriches our lives and the world around us.

We’ll also cover:

The destructive nature of the shame spiral and how to recognize it
Breaking free from perfectionism and self-punishment
Why acceptance is the first step toward real change
Learning to embrace ADHD as part of who we are, and finding gratitude along the way

Radical acceptance doesn’t mean liking every challenge ADHD brings—it’s about holding space for all parts of our reality, especially the messy ones. Join us as we uncover how to move forward with self-compassion, strength, and community.

ADHD Adult Symptoms | Lab

Monday, November 25, 2024 • Duration 09:10

Attention Different Labs are short form episodes centered around important adulting with ADHD topics. Stephen dives into specific research mixed with tangible coaching strategies and advice, delivered with a side of relatability and humor.

In this lab, we discuss and educate on Adult ADHD Symptoms.

Our mission is to reclaim the label, not reinvent it, in order to understand our condition in more accurate and self-affirming ways. Labels can be stigmatizing, leading to shame, guilt, and despair. We believe that “Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder" (ADHD), while a very real condition, has a tired and overly negative label.
