This is the kind of conversation that will make you rethink
everything you thought you knew about ADHD.

In this episode, hindi lang ‘to yung usual na “attention and
focus” talk about ADHD. We go deeper, kung ano ba talaga yung
real-life experience ng ADHD. We talk about the reality of
getting diagnosed as an adult, the confusion that comes with it,
and how it can shift the way you see yourself. We also unpack
things people don’t usually talk about like how ADHD can connect
with anxiety and depression, how medication feels, and why
building habits isn’t as simple as it sounds.

Joining us is Kresta Nadine, a Growth &
Marketing Strategist in the crypto industry here sa Philippines
and someone who shares her experience in a very honest and
grounded way. She’s also one of Kai’s closest friends, kaya mas
naging real, raw, at walang filter yung conversation.

If you’ve ever thought na “ano ba talaga ang ADHD beyond the
stereotypes?”this episode is for you.
