Description

This one’s for the ADHDers and the people who love them.

In today’s episode, I do the heavy lifting of explaining ADHD—what it is, why it matters, and what it really feels like to live with it—so you don’t have to.

If you’ve ever wished your partner, parent, friend, or co-worker just got it, this is the episode to send them.

Inside:

  • Why ADHD is so hard to explain (even for ADHDers)
  • The top 3 things people with ADHD wish their loved ones knew
  • The top 3 things they need from you
  • What it means when someone with ADHD shares this episode with you
  • Whether you’re an ADHDer or a neurotypical ally, this episode is all about building bridges, deepening connection, and fostering real, loving understanding.
