An ADHD coach on burnout (Jaye Lin’s story)

ADHD coach Jaye Lin is no stranger to ADHD burnout. As an Asian
American former gifted kid with undiagnosed ADHD, her parents
thought she was just being lazy and not applying herself. This
pressure and shame followed until her 30s, when her anxiety
peaked while she was working at a high-pressure job.  


Jaye’s therapist thought she was drug-seeking when she wanted to
be screened for ADHD. Now, Jaye builds communities and helps
others prioritize what’s important when tunnel vision takes over
our lives.
