What is it like to discover ADHD in adulthood, especially after becoming a mother?
In this season 5 finale of Latine ADHD, Dr. Janice Castro sits down with therapist Lehuanani, LMFT, to talk about receiving an ADHD diagnosis at age 33 — seven months postpartum — and how that moment reshaped how she understands herself, her culture, and her life.
For years, Lehuanani believed she was navigating anxiety and depression on her own. But after the birth of her child, everyday routines became harder. Systems that once worked stopped working. That turning point led her to ask a new question: Could this be ADHD?
Receiving a diagnosis helped her make sense of a lifetime of feeling different.
In this conversation, we explore the emotional and cultural layers of late ADHD diagnosis — especially for women. As someone who identifies as both Latina and Hawaiian, Lehuanani reflects on the mixed messages she grew up with about being agreeable and “easygoing.” Together, we talk about what it means to move from confusion to clarity — and how people begin building systems that actually support their brain instead of forcing themselves into expectations that were never designed for them.
In this episode, we talk about:
What it can feel like to receive an ADHD diagnosis in adulthood Why many women are labeled “too sensitive” or “too emotional” Cultural messages around gender roles and behavior How ADHD symptoms can become more visible after major life changes like motherhood Moving away from people-pleasing and learning to set boundaries Rethinking self-care in ways that support the nervous system A calming tool Lehuanani uses: binaural beatsIf this conversation resonates with you:
You may also want to listen to Season 2, Episode 4 of Latine ADHD, where Ari shares her experience discovering ADHD after becoming a mother and building systems that work for her brain.
Both conversations explore late diagnosis — through different lenses of identity, culture, and self-understanding.

In this solo episode of Latine ADHD, Dr. Janice Castro explores what self-trust looks like before burnout.
Most people don’t think about self-trust until it feels broken.
But self-trust isn’t built in a crisis.
It’s practiced in ordinary moments.This episode breaks down what self-trust is and what it isn’t.
Self-trust is not:
• Being consistent all the time
• Never struggling
• Always following through perfectly
• Having more willpowerSelf-trust grows through honesty.
Through repair.
Through small promises you can actually keep.In this episode, you’ll learn:
✨ Why broken promises are information — not proof you can’t be trusted
✨ How punishment disrupts trust
✨ Why compassion is structural, not optional
✨ The power of one realistic, aligned choice
✨ How self-trust functions as preventative careThis conversation is about micro-moments.
Not dramatic reinventions.
Not personality overhauls.Just one honest pause.
One boundary.
One five-minute reset.Because self-trust is a practice.
If you want deeper support around self-compassion, you can revisit the Season 1 finale: Feeling Broken and Finding Strength.
Self-trust doesn’t eliminate hard seasons.
It just means you don’t abandon yourself inside them.Let’s Stay Connected:

In this episode of Latine ADHD, Dr. Janice Castro sits down with Dr. Yvette Martinez-Vu, a first-gen Chicana coach, author, LinkedIn Learning instructor, and host of the award-winning Grad School Femtoring Podcast.
This conversation is for anyone who has been praised for being a high achiever… while quietly burning out behind the scenes.
Dr. Yvette shares what sustainable success really means, especially for people who are neurodivergent, first-gen, and carrying heavy cultural expectations.
Together, Dr. Janice and Dr. Yvette talk about:
✨ How perfectionism and “push through” culture can lead to burnout
✨ Why rest is not the same as laziness (and why that label can cause harm)
✨ What it means to define success without sacrificing physical, mental, and spiritual well-being
✨ The difference between a “perfect” home and a functional home
✨ The concept of “good enough” when capacity is limited
✨ Spoon Theory (and how energy works differently for different bodies and brains)You’ll also hear honest reflections about how cultural messages around productivity can show up in everyday life — even in things like cleaning before guests come over, feeling pressure to “do it all,” and trying to meet impossible standards.
This episode is an invitation to slow down, get curious, and build a version of success that doesn’t cost your health.

In this solo episode of Latine ADHD, Dr. Janice Castro breaks down what burnout really is and why it’s not a personal failure.
Burnout isn’t about being weak.
And it isn’t about not caring enough.Burnout happens when the demands on your system exceed your available capacity for too long.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
✨ The difference between motivation and mental access
✨ How ADHD burnout can look different from typical burnout
✨ Why “try harder” often makes things worse
✨ What task paralysis, emotional flooding, and brain fog may actually signal
✨ What it really means to “listen to your body”Many people with ADHD care deeply — about their work, their relationships, their responsibilities — and still feel unable to act the way they want to.
That gap between caring and capacity can be painful.
This episode reframes burnout as protection, not punishment.
Instead of action steps, you’ll leave with gentle reflection questions to help you notice patterns in your energy, focus, and recovery time.
Because burnout isn’t laziness.
It’s communication.Let’s Stay Connected:

In this episode of Latine ADHD, Dr. Janice Castro sits down with Latina therapist Chantall Hernandez, LMFT, to talk about how ADHD shows up inside romantic relationships.
ADHD doesn’t only impact work or school.
It shows up in relationships.You might see:
• Missed follow-through
• Time blindness
• Difficulty prioritizing
• Emotional overwhelm
• Perfectionism
• Resentment building on both sidesChantall shares how ADHD can create painful misunderstandings, especially when one partner feels like they’re trying hard, and the other feels like they’re not trying at all.
This episode explores:
✨ Why follow-through is harder than intention
✨ How shame from childhood can resurface in adult relationships
✨ The impact of cultural expectations, especially for Latinas
✨ How compassion and accountability can exist at the same time
✨ What to say if you feel misunderstood in your relationshipThis is not about excusing behavior.
It’s about understanding what’s happening underneath it.Communication changes when there’s clarity.
And relationships grow stronger when there’s grace on both sides.If you suspect ADHD is affecting your relationship, this conversation offers language, insight, and hope.

In this Season 5 opener of Latine ADHD, Dr. Janice Castro explores why trusting yourself can feel so hard, especially when ADHD and cultura collide.
Before talking about tools or change, this episode starts with understanding.
Many people don’t wake up one day and decide not to trust themselves. Self-trust often gets disrupted slowly over time. It can begin with survival messages like:
Push through.
Work harder.
Don’t complain.
Be grateful.In many Latine families, those messages were rooted in love, sacrifice, and survival. Staying strong wasn’t a personality trait, it was protection.
But when ADHD shows up in environments that reward consistency and pushing past limits, something painful can happen. You might start believing:
“Something must be wrong with me.”
“I can’t trust myself.”This episode reframes self-trust as a relationship, one shaped by experience, culture, expectations, and nervous system patterns. Difficulty trusting yourself doesn’t mean you’re broken. It may mean survival strategies worked too well.
Inside this episode:
How cultural survival messages shape self-trust
Why pushing through can feel safer than pausing
How ADHD traits get misread as character flaws
A gentle reframe: self-trust can be rebuilt
Reflection question for the week:
When did pushing through become the safest option for you?
This conversation is about curiosity, not judgment. Understanding comes before change.

In this Season 4 finale episode of Latine ADHD, I’m joined by Dr. Hurtado-Alvarado, Licensed Psychologist and co-founder of Prickly Pear Therapy and Training in Austin, Texas, a bilingual, bicultural practice grounded in trauma-informed and culturally affirming care.
We talk about what it really means to offer neuro-affirming care from understanding masking and ableism, to navigating assessments and therapy as BIPOC adults with ADHD. Dr. Hurtado breaks down the barriers many Latine and multilingual clients face in finding providers who truly “get it,” and shares practical tips for self-advocacy and finding the right therapeutic fit.
If you’ve ever wondered how culture, language, and neurodiversity intersect in mental-health care, this conversation is for you.

Do bright lights, loud rooms, or crowded family gatherings drain you faster than everyone else? You’re not imagining it and you’re not “too sensitive.”
In this episode of Latine ADHD, Dr. Janice Castro breaks down what sensory overload looks like through an ADHD lens, especially for those of us raised in Latine families where noise, music, and constant stimulation tend to be part of the culture.
You’ll learn:
🔹 Why the ADHD brain processes sounds, lights, smells, and textures differently
🔹 What research says about sensory sensitivity, avoidance, seeking, and low registration
🔹 How sensory overwhelm shows up in our familias during holidays and gatherings
🔹 Why honoring your capacity is not disrespectful, it’s self-respect
🔹 A simple 3-step ADHD-friendly tool to help you plan for sensory overwhelm before it hitsYou'll also hear a personal story about choosing rest during the holidays even when it felt uncomfortable or “out of tradition.” Listening to your body isn’t selfish. It’s wisdom.
✨ If you’ve ever felt “too much,” “too sensitive,” or confused by your reactions, this episode will help you feel seen, understood, and a little less alone.

In this episode of Latine ADHD, host Dr. Janice Castro sits down with Chantall Hernandez, LMFT, a Latina relationship therapist and founder of Generational Mental Wellness Therapy, who shares her personal story of being diagnosed with ADHD and learning to break the shame cycle through self-compassion.
We talk about how negative self-talk shows up when ADHD symptoms like forgetfulness or losing items trigger frustration and how small mindset shifts can help us respond with kindness instead of criticism. Chantall opens up about her late diagnosis, how growing up without answers affected her self-esteem, and the powerful practice of saying “hold on” before shame takes over.
This conversation reminds us that healing starts with how we speak to ourselves and that compassion is a radical act of self-love in our comunidad.

✨ How to start rebuilding trust through micro-promises
✨ The “One Promise Rule” an ADHD-friendly way to keep commitments to yourself

Have you ever felt like you’re carrying everyone else’s stress on your shoulders and forgetting about yourself in the process?
In this episode of Latine ADHD, I sit down with Licensed Educational Psychologist and small business owner, Lucia Serio, to talk about life as an empath with ADHD. Lucia describes what it feels like to be “a sponge” picking up on the emotions, tension, and energy of people around her and how that can lead to overwhelm and burnout if boundaries slip away.
Together, we explore:
✨ The first warning signs that show you might be overextending yourself
✨ How ADHD makes it harder to notice (or act on) your own needs in the moment
✨ Why mind-body connection is crucial for regulating emotions
✨ Three practical tips Lucia uses to protect her energy and avoid burnoutLucia also shares a deeply personal story about how the L.A. fires of January 2025 pushed her into overextension mode and how she found creative ways to help her community without burning herself out. Her reflection is a powerful reminder that being highly empathetic is not a weakness. It’s a gift that can be managed with the right boundaries and tools.
This conversation is especially for you if you’ve ever been told:
“You’re too sensitive.”
“You care too much.”
Or felt guilty for wanting to step back when the world demands more of you.🌿 Listen in to learn how to honor your empathy, protect your energy, and thrive with ADHD, without sacrificing yourself in the process.

In this episode of Latine ADHD, Dr. Janice Castro talks about ADHD and addiction. Sometimes, people with ADHD might use alcohol, weed, or other things to feel better or to calm their minds. This can be very hard, especially for men who are told not to cry and to handle things on their own. Dr. Castro discusses why it’s important to get help and introduces a tool called H.A.L.T. This tool can help you think before you act on impulses by asking if you're hungry, angry, lonely, or tired. Dr. Castro urges everyone to seek support and reminds us that needing help is not a weakness. There’s also information about a men’s ADHD support group. Remember, you are not alone. Take care of your mind, your body, and your heart.

In this last episode of season 2 of Latine ADHD podcast, we learn about how to find motivation and manage the feeling of boredom, especially if you have ADHD. I talk about two types of motivation: extrinsic (rewards like money and trophies) and intrinsic (doing things because you enjoy them). I will share tips inspired by Dr. Tamara Rosier’s book, “Your Brain’s not broken,” to help you feel motivated, like knowing why you're doing a task, imagining how good you'll feel when it's done, and changing your self-talk.
