Episode description

Jon reflects on becoming a published author with his first book "Cheat Codes: How I Hacked My ADHD Brain" and the deeper realization that sparked the writing. From sitting across from ADHD patients and finally recognizing his own struggles, to understanding that medication is just the beginning—not the solution. This episode explores the shame-soaked reality of ADHD, the power of writing your survival story, and why having empathy after surviving dysfunction makes us "the lucky ones." Plus thoughts on navigating social media algorithms, choosing your community, and responding rather than reacting to the world around us.
