From Misunderstood to Empowered: Breaking Free from ADHD Stigma and Labels | Heather Taylor
Heather Taylor, writer, and director of TV and films, opens up about her personal experiences with ADHD in the corporate world. She shares how she struggled to fit in and perform while masking her symptoms, leading to exhaustion and burnout. "I felt like no one listened to what I was actually saying. And in some cases, kind of reminiscent of the story of like having an indoor picnic and thinking everyone did. I also just thought the experiences in my head and the way that I viewed the world were exactly the same as everybody else. And the problem was, is that I lived and worked in a corporate environment. And so just people didn't get my creative brain and just trying to make it through the day." - Heather Taylor
