In this special storytelling edition of Thriving with ADHD, host Nada Pupovac welcomes back voiceover artist and ADHD advocate Grant Crowell for a refreshing, reflective, and at times hilarious conversation about the power of storytelling as a practical tool for thriving with ADHD.

Instead of a classic Q&A format, Grant shares personal stories from high school, challenging workplaces, career transitions, and networking events — all highlighting how creative communication, self-awareness, and humor can be game-changing strategies for adults with ADHD.

💡 What you’ll hear in this episode:

• How a high school runner with undiagnosed ADHD developed a memory strategy using anagrams
• What it’s like working in an environment that’s not ADHD-friendly—and what to do about it
• Lessons from live radio and voiceover work on communication, failure, and growth
• A creative networking tip called the “Face Tag” that blends cartooning and connection
• How storytelling activates memory, builds empathy, and creates opportunities for deeper understanding

Whether you’re newly diagnosed or years into your ADHD journey, this episode offers warmth, insight, and encouragement to explore the stories that shape your life—and maybe even share them with others.
