Adult ADHD ADD Tips and Support Podcast - A Podcast for Neurodivergent Creatives. ADHD Superpowers - A Paramedic's Rescue Mission with Skylar Duran. This podcast is an audio companion to the book "The Drummer and the Great Mountain - A Guidebook to Transforming Adult ADD / ADHD."
In this episode, we're joined by Skylar Duran, a paramedic firefighter and technical rescue team member for the San Diego Fire-Rescue Department.
This extraordinary interview highlights how our ADHD traits, often experienced merely as challenges, can become life-saving superpowers.
Skylar recounts his harrowing and remarkable rescue mission during San Diego's recent flooding events, describing how his ADHD "wiring" may have contributed to his ability to perform during a very stressful situation.
He'll also discuss what it was like growing up with ADHD, his experience with learning a musical instrument, and what's been most helpful from the tips and practices we discuss on this podcast.

Many of us have not taken the time to learn what our specific nervous system needs to function optimally. We tend to compare ourselves to others who aren’t wired the same way we are, pushing past our limits to catch up, often leaving us dysregulated, overwhelmed, and burnt out.
In this episode, we’ll explore how to overcome analysis paralysis, decision fatigue, and "overthinking." We'll discuss why these challenges common for people with ADHD, and most importantly, we'll cover road-tested tips and tools that will make your decision-making process far more streamlined.
With ADHD, procrastination is our prime nemesis. If a task is not stimulating or urgent, it gets forgotten about, pushed out, or endlessly plagues us with guilt because we can't seem to get it done. All of this can create an immense amount of suffering and low self-esteem.
