To Diagnose or Not to Diagnose? What I Think About ADHD + Gifted Labels

Align + Attract

Send us a text

I’ve had a diagnosis. And I’ve had an insight. And I’ve had to reconcile the two.
In this episode of Align + Attract, I explore the nuanced question of diagnosis—through the lens of ADHD, giftedness, and my own lived experience.
We dive into:

• The questions to ask yourself if you're wondering whether to seek diagnosis
• Why we can avoid or delay diagnosis
• The essential attitude to bring whether you choose to seek diagnosis or not
• That specific insight that catalysed the healing of my ADHD symptoms

Whether you’ve been diagnosed, are considering it, or questioning what labels even mean, this is a grounded, soulful exploration of identity, healing, and what it means to truly thrive.

✨ Plus: I share an emotional insight from my early development (ages 2–4) that changed everything.
