A Voice Rooted in Real Experience
Laurie Faulkner has become one of the most recognizable ADHD creators of her generation, with a combined audience of 300k+ followers across Instagram and TikTok. Her content which ranges from late-diagnosis storytelling to self-coaching, productivity, and emotional regulation, has helped millions feel understood and seen. She has been featured in major outlets including WBUR, ADHD Freedoms, LADbible, and leading podcasts on ADHD.
Diagnosed at 23, Laurie spent years trying to understand her mind before developing the clarity and language she now shares with her community. Her energetic, intuitive delivery has become a lifeline to people navigating ADHD, burnout, and identity in a fast-paced world.

Sharing my voice on Speechify feels like a natural extension of that mission. If it brings someone comfort or makes their day a little easier, then I’ve done something worthwhile.”
