Do I Have Undiagnosed ADHD or Is It Just the Algorithm?
In this episode of Master Your Mind, Business, and Life, Lauren Smith explores the intersection of neurodivergence and social media algorithms. She discusses how ADHD-related content flooding her feed led to reflections on her own lifelong tendencies—such as sensory sensitivities, multitasking habits, and cycles of hyperfocus and fatigue. Lauren shares why she chooses to focus on practical strategies over formal diagnosis or labels, and how discernment can help us separate helpful insight from algorithm-driven narratives.
