Episode 23: Laura Strater - ADHD Isn't Who I AM, But It's Part Of My Story

Hello my Lovelies!

In this inspiring and real conversation, I'm joined by Laura Strater, teacher and advocate for people with ADHD, as she opens up about living with ADHD as an adult, sharing not just the struggles but also the unexpected strengths that come with it. From executive function challenges and hyperfocus “superpowers” to the way health, faith, and self-awareness have shaped her journey—Laura’s story is full of practical insights and heartfelt encouragement.

We explore:

• Why executive function can feel so exhausting—and how Laura learned to let go of perfection and delegate.
• The surprising benefits of hyperfocus and how it can be harnessed as a superpower.
• Practical tools like accountability, calendars, and sticky notes for building consistency.
• The role of faith and values in grounding and guiding life with ADHD.
• How shifting to veganism transformed Laura’s health, energy, and outlook.
• Why receiving a diagnosis brought relief and clarity instead of shame.
• The importance of asking for help, investing in coaching or therapy, and finding truth without fear.

Laura reminds us that a diagnosis is not a measure of worth, but a tool for understanding—and that every challenge can also hold the seed of strength.

Whether you’re living with ADHD, love someone who does, or simply want to hear a story of resilience, humor, and hope, this episode will leave you encouraged.

"Your worth cannot be lessened by a diagnosis—the label is just a tool, not your value." - Laura Strater
