Summary
In this episode of The Life Dojo Podcast , Michael Climmer is joined by Roman Wyman, father, author, and host of ADHD Is Over , for a thought-provoking conversation about ADHD, stress, and the modern environment. Roman shares his personal journey after his son was diagnosed with ADHD, and how this led him to question conventional approaches and explore alternative perspectives on childhood behaviour, stress, and development. This discussion explores how modern life — including constant stimulation, digital environments, pressure, diet, and lack of movement — may be contributing to attention challenges and behavioural patterns in both children and adults. Michael also shares his experience working in UK schools, highlighting how rigid systems and environments can impact learning, emotional regulation, and development. Together, they explore the role of stress, nervous system overload, and environment in shaping behaviour and identity. This episode is not medical advice, but an open conversation about parenting, education, responsibility, and alternative ways of understanding modern challenges. If you're interested in mental health, ADHD, parenting, discipline, environment, and personal development , this episode offers a broader perspective on a complex and important topic.
