In this episode of the Neurospice Latte podcast, I sit down with Nick Ovalle to talk about inattentive ADHD, burnout, and the systems that help him stay grounded. Nick shares how his ADHD diagnosis reshaped his life, why he left a high-level job, and the routines, tools, and mindset shifts that helped him rebuild in a healthier way.
We talk about:
• ADHD burnout and overwhelm
• What diagnosis clarified for him
• Why slowing down helped him rebuild
• His 1-2-3-4 method for daily focus
• Meditation, journaling, and analog tools
• The honest, unfiltered parts of living neurodivergent
If you enjoy this episode and want to share your own story, you can apply to be a guest. I’d love to feature neurodivergent voices and the unique ways you make life work.
