Molly Beyer discusses what she’s learned about herself and what she has identified as her personal superpower in life. Molly’s superpower is her ADHD. She talks about the two very different sides of her - analytical and data-driven versus emotional - and how learning how to work with both sides is how she came to learn she’s ADHD. She walks us through why ADHD requires strategy to manage but why it’s also her self-identified superpower.
One of the great gifts of Molly’s superpower is her ability to intentionally focus on 1000s of lines of data, huge pieces of information, and parse them down efficiently. She explores why some things that may seem limiting work as a superpower when directed properly. And her message throughout the episode is one of authentically embracing who we each are as individuals. Identify our superpowers and then embrace them.
Molly says she’s a work in progress, still learning to fully honor her superpower. She uses scripts to stay focused because the passion she has for things she enjoys can bubble over and send her off-track. That’s part of the identification process and Molly’s vulnerability in sharing her ADHD journey sheds light on how we can turn what may seem chaotic or difficult into a very unique ability that only we possess.
