Wired Differently. Understanding the ADHD Brain
ADHD is a different way of processing the world. It’s a bit like thinking in fast forward, where priorities and motivations can change in a split second. It can also be a superpower.
In this Growth Lab Live talk, we explore what it really means to have an ADHD brain. How attention, motivation, emotion, and energy work differently. Why focus can feel impossible one moment and effortless the next. And why so many people go through life feeling “out of sync” without understanding why.
This session breaks down the science of ADHD in a clear, human way. We’ll look at dopamine, nervous system regulation, emotional intensity, and executive function. We’ll also explore how modern environments amplify ADHD traits, and why many strengths. Creativity, hyperfocus, pattern recognition. Are often overlooked or misunderstood.
Drawing on research, real-world experience, and years of working with neurodivergent minds, Daniela offers a grounded, compassionate framework for understanding ADHD beyond labels or stereotypes.
This is a talk for anyone who lives with ADHD, works with ADHD, or suspects their brain might simply be wired differently.
