Getting diagnosed with ADHD explains a lot. Then it starts explaining too much.
In this episode, Nir Eyal breaks down what happens after that initial relief. When ADHD stops being useful information and starts becoming your identity.
He shares how that shift can quietly limit effort, create anxiety loops, and turn every struggle into “this is just how I am.”
This isn’t about ignoring ADHD. It’s about understanding the difference between what’s real and what you’ve started to believe about it.
Because those beliefs don’t just describe your behavior. They shape it.
You’ll hear how to separate facts from interpretations, why beliefs are tools not truths, and how small shifts in how you think can reduce friction and make action easier.
