Too often, I see high-achieving women with ADHD living in two extremes: pushing through, or completely burnt out. There's rarely an in-between. They feel productive, or they feel like they're spinning too many plates to count — with nothing in between.

We've been conditioned to believe that hustling harder is the way to succeed. That belief pushes us to force our nervous systems into submission, burn ourselves out, and run our bodies into the ground in the name of ambition.

Here's what I want you to know: this isn't a discipline problem. It's a nervous system problem.

Join Nikolai Blinow, LMHC, for a podcast interview with Sensitive Stories, hosted by April Snow. In this episode, April talks with Nikolai Blinow about the subtle signs of ADHD in highly sensitive people and:

• Why HSPs and women are often misdiagnosed

• The three types of ADHD and how they present

• How to embrace neurodiversity as a strength and lean into radical acceptance

Nikolai is a highly-sensitive person with ADHD who helps fellow HSP and ADHD women in leadership roles who are done with operating in survival mode. Her work blends strategic therapy & nervous system re-calibration to help women slow down, stay powerful, and keep their edge.
