ADHD Gathering is hosted by Ying Deng, award-winning ADHD coach, certified meditation teacher, and featured expert in SELF Magazine. Your ADHD brain is not a problem to fix. It’s an ecosystem to understand. Through guest conversations and solo episodes, Ying explores the emotions, stories, and systems that shape how you live as a neurodivergent person, with a mindful, strategic, and multidimensional lens that goes far beyond tips and hacks. Every episode is created to help you understand your whole landscape and grow a life that’s aligned and sustainable. What began as a spotlight on BIPOC voices in the ADHD community has grown into a broader exploration of the art of navigating life as a neurodivergent person, through mindfulness, meditation, radical acceptance, and a deeper understanding of yourself and the systems you live within. Tune in if you’re a late-diagnosed ADHD adult ready to stop forcing and start living in a way that actually flows with your brain.
