Send us a text In this episode, we’re tackling rejection sensitivity with ADHD — aka why one tiny bit of criticism can send us into a full Olympic-level spiral. We attempt to give actual advice (emphasis on attempt), share some real-life stories, and throw in a few practical tools and mindset shifts along the way.

Send us a text This week we’re talking about the cruel irony of ADHD!!! How we’ll spend days hyperfocusing on building the perfect relaxing space — gardens, patios, pergolas… you name it (haha) and then never actually sit down to enjoy it. Because the moment we try to rest, our brains hit us with a to-do list longer than the IKEA instructions we never followed. 🧠✨ If you’ve ever hyperfixed on a task just to “earn” relaxation only to end up reorganizing the garage or starting a new DIY proje...
Send us a text This week we’re tackling the chaos cocktail that is ADHD + perfectionism. You know, that magical combo where you obsess over every detail, waste loads of time and then suddenly decide “It's dead to me” at 75% and never either finish it, or rush your way through the last 20% with no f**ks given?!!! We’re talking all-or-nothing thinking, the fear of not doing it perfectly, and how we somehow manage to procrastinate AND care way too much. It’s messy and it’s frustrating, but wha...
Send us a text This week were talking about ADHD and the symptoms of inattention. It’s easy to glance at the DSM checklist and think, “That’s not me.” But when you really look at how these symptoms show up in everyday life? Suddenly it’s very relatable. We’re breaking down inattentive ADHD in a way that actually makes sense with real-life examples and a few funny (okay, slightly chaotic) relatiable stories of how it shows up for us. Join us for some fun and laughter! Support the show If you'...

1Send us a text This week, we’re diving into one of the most frustrating ADHD habits: starting a million things… and finishing none of them. We talk about how we can get 90% of the way through something and then completely abandon it, either forever, or until a deadline forces us to panic-finish the last 10% out of fear, shame, and pressure. Why does this happen? Can we do anything to fix this? Let’s unpack the chaos together. Support the show If you'd like to support the sho...

Send us a text This is the million dollar question isn’t it? 😅 You start with the best intentions—maybe even organize everything neatly—but instead of getting shorter, your to-do list somehow keeps growing. It’s like every task you finish magically creates two more. This week, we’re diving into the ADHD struggle with productivity—why starting is hard, finishing is harder, and how even the best-laid plans can turn into chaos. From task paralysis to the never-ending dopamine chase,...
