Do you feel like you’re constantly hiding your true self to fit in? That’s ADHD masking—a common yet exhausting coping mechanism where ADHDers suppress their natural behaviors to meet societal expectations. In this episode, we’re diving deep into what ADHD masking is, why it happens, and how it impacts ADHD moms and entrepreneurs.

Learn real-life ADHD masking examples, from mimicking neurotypical behaviors in professional settings to overcompensating in social situations. We’ll also explore how masking affects mental health, burnout, and self-identity, especially for ADHD moms juggling business and family life.

If you’ve ever struggled with feeling “too much” or worried about being judged for your ADHD traits, this episode is for you. Understanding ADHD masking can be a game-changer, helping you embrace your authentic self while reducing the emotional toll of constantly “performing.”
