The next day? You can barely get off the couch. ADHD gets called a superpower a lot, but that framing misses the whole other side of the coin.Sherry and Val talk about the polarising nature of the superpower narrative. Yes, there are areas where ADHD feels like a strength: hyper-focus as intensity, connecting dots others miss, wide awareness that helps with client relationships and creative problem-solving. But calling it a superpower across the board invalidates the real struggles with executive dysfunction, overstimulation, and the exhaustion that comes from being tuned into everything all the time.We explore why the superpower language can create more shame around the things ADHD makes harder, why perfectionism and overworking often show up as compensation, and what it means to honour both the strengths and the challenges without forcing either into a neat little box.Whether you see ADHD as 22% superpower or something else entirely, this conversation digs into what it actually feels like to live with ADHD when the world expects you to fly but you have no control over when or where it happens.Connect with us:Book a free call with Val (financial planner): https://calendly.com/valerie-stratfordBook a free call with Sherry (financial coach): https://app.acuityscheduling.com/schedule.php?owner=17480698&appointmentType=25737393Val's Instagram: http://www.instagram.com/you.me.and.moneySherry's Instagram: http://www.instagram.com/moneymindsetfcPodcast Instagram: http://www.instagram.com/mind.money.adhd.podcastSherry's TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@moneymindsetcoaching","meta_description":"Some days you knock 12 things off your to-do list.
