"You're not broken; the failures and traumas are golden nuggets that give you strength."
Picture your life as a tree, with roots, trunk, and branches representing your past, present, and future. In this episode of ADHD Focus, Dr. David Pomeroy sits down with Michelle Raz, a serial entrepreneur and coach, to discuss her 'Tree of Life' framework. This visualisation helps individuals, especially those with ADHD, to align their goals and passions with their core values and experiences.
Michelle shares her journey of honing in on her purpose and the systematic approach she developed to help others do the same. Michelle delves into how her neurodivergent brain often led her to plant multiple seedlings—ideas and projects that diverted her attention. Through her 'Tree of Life' framework, she learned to focus on the roots (past experiences) and the trunk (core values) to grow meaningful branches (future goals).
She emphasises the importance of understanding one's strengths and using them to overcome challenges. Dr. Pomeroy and Michelle also touch on the concept of hyperfocus, a common trait in ADHD individuals, and how it can be harnessed productively. They discuss the Japanese art of Kintsugi, which repairs broken pottery with gold or silver, as a metaphor for embracing imperfections and turning past traumas into strengths.
The episode is filled with practical advice on how to stay aligned with your core purpose while allowing room for creativity. Michelle's anecdotes about her father and her own experiences add a personal touch, making the discussion relatable and engaging. If you're looking for ways to channel your ADHD into positive outcomes, this episode offers valuable insights. Why not listen to this episode and start growing your own 'Tree of Life'?
