S4 EP14: The ADHD Pandemic - How a Crisis Led to Self-Discovery with Anna Przybylski

How the pandemic exacerbated Anna's ADHD but ultimately led to a new life and understanding of herself

When the COVID-19 pandemic hit, Anna Przybylski, like many, faced sudden job loss and an unexpected identity crisis.

But for Anna, who lives with ADHD, the crisis was more than just a career change; it was a turning point.

This episode explores how the pandemic intensified Anna's ADHD symptoms, forcing her to confront limitations she’d never had to deal with before.

It felt, as she describes, like a box she’d carefully constructed had shattered, leaving her unable to put the pieces back together.

The podcast dives into how this crisis became a catalyst for self-discovery. Anna realised she could bet on herself and walked away from a 13-year career in event planning.

Now a full-time digital content creator, Anna built a life that works with her ADHD brain, not against it . This includes a daily morning show, a merch business and even a one-woman live comedy show.

Ultimately, Anna's story highlights that your life doesn't have to look like anything you've seen before.
