Why do so many smart, capable people still struggle to “get it together”?
In this powerful episode of The Vibe With Ky Podcast, I sit down with Kristen Pressner—TEDx speaker, global HR executive, and mom of four neurodivergent kids—to talk about ADHD awareness and neurodivergence from a refreshingly honest and human perspective. Kristen thought she understood ADHD—until it showed up in every corner of her home. Her story is eye-opening, relatable, and packed with practical insights for neurodivergent adults and their loved ones.
In this episode, we cover:
The moment Kristen’s understanding of ADHD changed forever
The truth about “interest brains” vs. “importance brains”
Why neurotypical solutions often do more harm than good
How to be a “Brain Friend” in real life
What workplaces get wrong about ADHD
Whether you have ADHD or love someone who does, this conversation will help you feel seen—and offer new ways to create a more inclusive, supportive world.
