Episode Summary:
In the inaugural episode of ADHD Gathering, host Ying Deng, an ADHD coach and meditation teacher, shares her personal journey of being diagnosed with ADHD as a first-generation Asian immigrant woman in the U.S. Ying opens up about how her discovery of ADHD reshaped her self-understanding after years of battling depression and anxiety. She explains how her diagnosis became the key to unlocking new possibilities by learning to work with her ADHD brain rather than against it.
Ying also discusses the three core intentions behind this podcast: creating possibilities, amplifying diverse narratives, and celebrating strengths within the ADHD community—particularly among BIPOC individuals. Through candid interviews and lived experiences, ADHD Gathering hopes to inspire listeners to embrace radical acceptance, nurture their strengths, and cultivate self-compassion. Tune in to explore diverse ADHD stories, and leave empowered to thrive in your own unique way.
