Is ADHD really a \"superpower\"? Or is that just a toxic label that sets high-performers up for a massive crash?


In this episode, Dr. Jody sits down with executive coach Cathy Rashidian (aka The Candid Empath) to dismantle the popular \"superpower\" narrative. They unpack the visceral reality of leading with a \"fast brain\"—from the dopamine-fueled highs of hyper-focus to the crushing \"hangover\" that inevitably follows.


They also tackle the \"Accidental Leader\" trap: why so many of us are promoted eight years before we’re actually trained, why we become \"self-appointed fire marshals\" just to get our dopamine hits, and why \"resilience\" has become a dirty word for leaders who are tired of bouncing back.

If you’ve ever felt like your \"genius\" comes with a heavy price tag, or if you are tired of being the most resilient person in the room, this conversation is the permission slip you didn’t know you needed.
