Hibo Osman, a self-proclaimed ethnically ambiguous chaos coordinator, shares her journey of discovering and embracing her ADHD diagnosis while navigating professional life with sparkle, sleep hygiene, and self-compassion.
• Managing energy is crucial for ADHD brains – Hibo feels her emotions viscerally, visibly dimming when tired
• Sleep hygiene forms the foundation of Hibo's coping strategies including blackout curtains, no phones in the bedroom, and stopping caffeine at midday
• Childhood experiences of being unable to sit still and constantly being told to stop talking shaped Hibo's relationship with her ”big energy”
• Learning to accept emotional dysregulation rather than fighting it – sometimes that means crying while walking with a weighted vest
• The ”Hibo Hustle” combines authenticity and influence to navigate professional challenges
• Finding career paths that embrace rather than stifle your natural ADHD traits
• Using AI tools like ChatGPT to overcome blank page paralysis and boost productivity
• Meditation journey from failed two-minute attempts to a 10-day silent retreat
• Self-compassion as the ultimate goal – somewhere amid the fidgeting and noise, finding a way to love yourself
For more insights on managing ADHD, Hibo recommends ”Self-Compassion” by Kristin Neff.
