If your kids’ and grandkids’ lives are at stake, not just yours, will you try to overcome or
embrace ADHD?
ADHD Mom, lawyer, entrepreneur, and TV legal analyst Katherine Lizardo shares her
21-year journey with ADHD that led to her response to this life-changing question.
Katherine’s talk invites unique perspectives on seemingly obvious tools many take for
granted. She provides 3 intentional actions that people with ADHD can use immediately
to play up their strengths and compensate for their weaknesses. These are the same
actions she took to unlock her power of learning about her ADHD self, resulting in a
successful and fulfilling family life and career.
Her talk reframes the global discourse into mental health compassion for the ADHD
generation in her lifetime and beyond. Katherine comes from a humble background as an immigrant from the Philippines, with
English as her second language. She was diagnosed with ADHD as an adult in the
United States in 2002. After extensive experience managing her ADHD through therapy,
medication, and treatment, she aims to reframe the global discourse about ADHD with
compassion.
Katherine is the founder of a mission-driven company called ADHD Life Simplified. Their
mission: helping mothers worldwide embrace their ADHD by providing simplified
information and coping strategies so they can navigate their neurodiversity in
motherhood with compassion.
ADHD Life Simplified has a free online community dedicated to helping ADHD mothers
worldwide play up their strengths and support their efforts to compensate for their
weaknesses. The ADHD Life Simplified community is the first of its kind, where people
with ADHD co-create a community experience that suits their ADHD needs through
connection, communication, and collaboration among members. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
