ADHD Beyond the Label - Episode 11 - Adam Smith

In this episode, mindset coach and A-Game co-founder Adam Smith joins hosts Phil Anderton and co-host John Reynolds for a conversation about identity, self-worth, and the emotional cost of trying to be ‘enough’.

Adam reflects on the years he spent trying to please others, masking, and pushing people away, all while chasing a version of himself that wasn’t real. He shares the quiet pressure to perform, the shame of feeling misunderstood, and how his need for acceptance left him disconnected from his own relationships.

This is a powerful conversation about quiet recovery, emotional honesty, and the slow process of becoming who you really are. It’s also a reminder that progress doesn’t start with perfection, it starts with honesty, patience, and one step at a time.
