My name is Bobbi. I live in Ontario Canada. I am 73 years young and retired. I've always known that I was different somehow but was finally told by my doctor (at 59) that I exhibited many traits of someone with ADD. I picked up a book on ADHD & cried while reading it. They were describing me!!! The book didn't give me a lot of answers, but it provided validation that I wasn't stupid, socially awkward and why I was always chasing after the next shiny object that caught my attention. So I'm anxious to learn more about how unique I am, and hoping this community can teach an old dog some new tricks. Thanks for letting me ramble😊

Completed on 4/15/2026 Your Ikigai Discovery, Diana 1️⃣ - Your Ikigai Themes Three threads weave through every answer you gave: 1. The Translator - You take overwhelming, broken, complex systems and make them navigable. You've done this in anti-money laundering, in ADHD research, in helping family with technology, in finding alternative treatments for your sister's dog. You are drawn to complexity not to hoard knowledge but to decode it for others. 2.The Protector - Safety, risk mitigation, prevention, learning from tragedies. Your criminal justice degree, your compliance career, your instinct to research how to prevent falls, how to prevent neurodivergent people from slipping through cracks. You see danger before it arrives and you want to stand between people and harm. 3. The Bridge - You said it yourself: "Information is meant to be shared." Your deepest calling is connecting people to the help they don't know how to ask for. Because you lived that exact isolation. 2️⃣ - What You Love You light up when you're deep in a research rabbit hole at 2 a.m., piecing together information others have missed. You light up making things happen for people you care about. You said, "I love seeing things happen because I made them happen." You are energized by the hunt for a better way - because you genuinely believe, "People deserve to be happy and secure and safe." 3️⃣ - What You're Good At You graduated with your GED through depression and anxiety. You earned a bachelor's in criminal justice. You got into law school. You built seniority in risk and compliance. You built a 10-minute walk into a 30-minute habit. You found ADHD Harmony and immediately started contributing. Your ADHD Harmony report named it precisely: you are a translator who takes complex, intimidating systems and makes them navigable for people who are overwhelmed. That is not luck, Diana. That is a pattern of earned skill. 4️⃣ - What the World Needs from You You said: "There's got to be a better way. People don't deserve to live like this." And when asked what barrier you'd tackle first, you named the exact one you've lived: knowing how to ask for help, recognizing you need it, and connecting with resources. Your legacy answer sealed it - you want to be remembered as someone who proved "no man is an island" and showed that strength includes reaching out.
