Are you quietly restless or get lost in the clouds? In this episode, I talk with Nikolai Blinow, LMHC 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.
