ADHD Is Not a Flaw | Addiction and Purpose With Ron Souers | Raw Minds S2 Ep 67

Welcome back to Raw Minds. I’m your host Erick.

Today’s episode is about ADHD, men’s mental health, addiction, and purpose. Not from a textbook. From lived experience.

I sit down with Ron Souers, coach, speaker, and host of the podcast Dont Mind Me I Just Have ADHD. Ron works with men navigating adult ADHD, addiction recovery, depression, and identity struggles later in life.

Ron believes ADHD is not a flaw. It is a different operating system. In a world built for linear thinking, neurodivergent men are often told they are broken, lazy, or failing. This episode challenges that narrative directly.

We talk about adult ADHD in men, why it often goes undiagnosed for decades, and how it shows up as addiction, burnout, anger, depression, shame, and self sabotage. Ron explains why so many men turn to substances, overwork, or isolation before they ever understand what is actually happening in their brain.

This conversation also goes deep into recovery.

We talk sobriety, emotional regulation, personal responsibility, and building a purpose driven life without pretending to be someone you are not. Ron shares lessons from his own journey and from coaching men who feel misunderstood, exhausted, or stuck in cycles they cannot explain.

This episode covers men’s mental health honestly. ADHD. Addiction recovery. Depression. Emotional intelligence. Identity. Purpose. And why men over forty are often carrying decades of unspoken damage.

If you are a man who feels different, scattered, burned out, addicted, or disconnected from who you thought you would be, this episode will hit close to home.

This is not motivation talk.
This is clarity.
This is responsibility.
This is Raw Minds.
