You need to question the narrative that you've got about what's going on, including your own narrative about yourself. Are people really saying the things they're saying because they're attacking you? Or are they really uncomfortable? If you don't question the narrative, then you're just going to sit there your whole life reacting to everything as if they're in an attack.
Ever wondered if the labels we carry might be holding us back? In this thought-provoking episode of 'Alive and Free', Bob Gardner flips the script on ADHD and other diagnoses. Bob shares his own journey of suspecting he has ADHD but never letting it define him. Instead, he sees it as a superpower, not a limitation. The episode dives deep into how society's labels can often trap us in a box, making us feel less capable than we really are.
Bob argues that these labels strip away our power rather than helping us. He urges listeners to challenge every narrative they've been given, including the ones they've created themselves. Why? Because those narratives might be the very thing stopping you from unlocking your hidden strengths. You'll hear about the pitfalls of trying to force yourself into a 'flow state' and why it can sometimes make you even more distracted.
Bob also discusses why the ADHD community is one of the most underserved and how thinking of ADHD as 'otherabled' can help you tap into unique abilities. If you've ever felt limited by a diagnosis or label, this episode is a must-listen. It's not just about breaking free from societal norms; it's about embracing your true potential and turning perceived weaknesses into strengths.
