Hyper-Focus and High Stakes: A Sports Journalist’s Journey with ADHD
Black and Diagnosed di Gerron Scott
Note sull'episodio
Can a mental health diagnosis actually be your professional superpower? In this soulful and transparent episode, host Gerron Scott sits down with USA Today women's sports journalist Meghan L. Hall to unmask the realities of living with ADHD and Postpartum Depression. Meghan shares her journey from a decade in marketing to landing her dream role in sports journalism—a transition fueled by a late-stage diagnosis at age 34.
The dialogue dives deep into the "Perfectionism Trap" that many Black women face, the sensory overload of covering a Super Bowl, and the radical act of asking for workplace accommodations. Meghan and Gerron explore the concept of "Body Doubling" as a tool for executive dysfunction and discuss why therapy is a non-negotiable form of maintenance for the mind.
