ADHD, Grief, and the Power of Possibility — w/ Candice Snyder

Disclaimer: This podcast is for informational purposes only and does not constitute medical advice.

Episode 051: In this emotionally rich episode of Don’t Mind Me, I Just Have ADHD, Ron sits down with Candice Snyder—mom of two sons with ADHD, gratitude ambassador, podcast host, and author of Passion, Purpose, and Possibilities.

Candice opens up about the fight to get her children properly supported, the emotional weight of losing her brother to suicide, and the invisible toll of living with chronic pain since 1997. We explore how her identity was rocked by career loss, how she rediscovered herself through podcasting, and why gratitude became her anchor through grief, divorce, and reinvention.

You'll Discover:

✅ What it takes to advocate for a child with ADHD in systems that want to silence you
✅ Why identity loss after career disruption is real—and how to rebuild
✅ How gratitude can be a life-saving force, even when everything hurts
✅ The truth about chronic pain, ADHD, and misunderstood resilience
✅ Why creativity and neurodivergence need more flexible education models
✅ How Candice's story became a book—and a movement for women’s voices

Whether you’re raising a neurodivergent child, grieving a version of yourself, or wondering if it’s “too late” to start again—this conversation proves that purpose doesn’t expire. You just have to take the first step.
