“I wasn’t failing. I just wasn’t growing.”
Adam Tasker had the career. The family. Three kids. Responsibility handled.
But privately, he knew he was drifting.
After being diagnosed with ADHD as an adult, following his sons’ diagnoses, he began to look at how he was operating. Not just as a father, but as a leader. At home. In business. With himself.
In this conversation, Skye and Adam unpack:
- What actually changes after a late ADHD diagnosis
- How overwhelm escalates and why some days collapse fast
- The identity shift from practitioner to leader in business
- Delegation, emotional regulation, and being the tone-setter at home
They talk through structure, routines, communication, and the tension between flexibility and discipline in a neurodivergent household.
This episode is not about productivity hacks.
It is about responsibility, self-awareness, and learning to lead without burning out or defaulting to shame.
If you are a parent, a founder, or someone who knows you are capable of more than “going through the motions,” this conversation will resonate.
