Supernova Thinking: Reframing ADHD with Ivana

Loading player...
In this episode, Lauren Edmunds speaks with Ivana, founder of the pop-up restaurant concept NaanSense, about living, learning, and thriving with ADHD. Together, they explore the idea of ADHD not as a disorder but as a divergent way of thinking—an energetic “supernova” that, when understood and supported, becomes a powerful asset. They unpack masking, cultural expectations, sensory overload, and the need to redefine success for neurodivergent individuals, especially women. A conversation full of insight, honesty, and celebration of thinking differently.
