Dr. Jaime Raygoza on ADHD, Identity, Burnout & the Power of Laughter

ADHD Eavesdrop by Janine VanStee

Episode notes

A late ADHD diagnosis helped Dr. Jaime Raygoza finally understand why life always felt harder. In this heartfelt conversation, we talk identity, burnout, masking, and the healing power of laughter.

Dr. Jaime Raygoza was told he was lazy, slow, and too much—until a late ADHD diagnosis changed everything. In this powerful episode, Jaime shares how growing up Latinx, LGBTQ+, and undiagnosed shaped his journey, and how he now helps others navigate burnout and rediscover joy.

We explore masking, cultural expectations, ADHD in adulthood, and how laughter yoga can be a surprisingly effective tool for stress relief and emotional healing.
