(Sometimes) Distracted, (Sometimes) Hyperactive and Doing Just Fine
What does it really mean to thrive with ADHD?
In this episode of Conscious Curiosity, Franck and Liz dive into new 2025 research exploring the factors that help adults with ADHD function, and continue to flourish, in everyday life.
From social support and coping strategies to the surprising role of depression and self-awareness, they unpack what separates surviving from thriving. Together, they explore the data, the nuance, and the real-world implications for how we live, work, and support each other.
🎧 Listen in to discover:
🧠 Why social support can boost functioning (but not reduce symptoms)
💬 How anxiety, depression, and ADHD overlap — and what that means for wellbeing
💡 Why being “distracted and hyperactive” doesn’t stop people doing just fine
Because functioning well isn’t about being flawless: it’s about finding the conditions that help your brain do its best.
