Paulina Chełstowska: Slavic women and ADHD

Episode 105 with Paulina Chełstowska.

“I was always told that I’m talented but lazy. Nobody could understand why such an intelligent person could fail so badly at school.”

Paulina is a social worker and a soft skills trainer and facilitator living in Poland. She specializes in using games as tools for team-building and education, working mostly with underprivileged youth at risk of exclusion and in foster care, and she advocates for play as a fundamental human right.

She is also the host of the Polish language podcast about women & ADHD called “Kobiety i ADHD.”

Paulina and I talk about the myth of laziness and prosperity, as well as some of the unique differences between the Western and Slavic perspectives on ADHD, especially in women.

Paulina is so expressive and perceptive, and I just know you’re going to love this interview.

A hunter in farmers world

Everything shared in this podcast is so matching my life that I even doubt if I am dreaming about it all (is this an ADHD thing, doubting about yourself first🥶).
I dont knıw if you already shared or not but I have to share a book which changed everything for me. ADHD, A HUNTER IN FARMERS WORLD , by Thom Hartmann. Even the title tells a lot. This is not a deficiency or illness. Our skills are not used in this new world, and everything designed by farmers. Please please share this book if you haven’t. Thanks for lessening this loneliness feeling.
