Hey, everyone. There was a publishing issue with this episode
last week, but it’s too good to miss. If you downloaded this
episode with Taryn Delanie Smith when it first came out, it’s
possible you actually got an episode of Hyperfocus
instead. We hope you liked it. But now we’ve uploaded the correct
ADHD Aha! episode here. Enjoy!

Cold-calling strangers about Brazilian butt lifts wasn’t exactly
the plan. But for Taryn Delanie Smith — comedian, actor, former
Miss New York, and creator of the viral TikTok character “Denise,
Heaven’s Receptionist” — the detours turned out to be the whole
story.

In this episode, Taryn talks about competing in the Miss America
pageant with undiagnosed ADHD, the curses and gifts of ADHD, a
learning disability in math, and struggling in corporate America.
Plus: justice sensitivity, farting around time, and why
waitressing might be the perfect job for an ADHD brain.
