Have you ever wondered if ADHD could actually be the reason behind your resilience, creativity, or even your perfectionism? In this powerful episode of Grandma Has ADHD , host Jami Shapiro sits down with inventor, entrepreneur, and grandmother Betty Landin to explore how ADHD shows up in unexpected ways—especially for women over 50. Betty opens up about her difficult childhood, surviving trauma, and how discovering her ADHD later in life finally helped everything make sense. She shares how ADHD drives her to compete, create, and never settle for “average”—from bodybuilding competitions to inventing the award-winning Wander Pillow, a travel pillow with a built-in blanket that’s now sold nationwide. Together, Jami and Betty talk about the hidden struggles of ADHD—decision fatigue, impulsivity, perfectionism, and negative self-talk—while also celebrating the resilience, innovation, and passion that make ADHD a true superpower. If you’ve ever felt “different,” overwhelmed by choices, or like you can’t stop chasing big ideas, this episode will remind you that you’re not broken—you’re wired for something unique. ADHD isn’t just a challenge. For many, it’s the spark that fuels creativity, drive, and the courage to dream bigger. Thank you for joining us for this episode of Grandma Has ADHD!
