007. Ever heard of the “ADHD Tax”? It’s that sneaky cost—financial, emotional, or mental—that comes with living in a distracted, nonlinear world. But today, we’re flipping the script. It’s refund season.

In this episode of The Daily Distracted, we’re reclaiming the ADHD Tax and learning how to turn what drains us into what pays us back. I’ll unpack what the ADHD Tax really is (spoiler: it’s not a moral failure), how to reframe it without shame, and how to start claiming your own “refunds”—financial, emotional, and energetic—starting today.

Whether you’re listening while doing dishes, sorting mail, or avoiding that one task on your list, consider this your body-double moment. We’re getting something done together.

In This Episode, You’ll Learn:

•  What the ADHD Tax actually is — and why it’s not your fault.

•  The mindset shift that transforms guilt into growth.

•  Two types of ADHD refunds you can claim right now.

•  Simple strategies to reclaim your time, energy, and self-trust.

• The ADHD Tax is the cost of trying to fit a nonlinear brain into a linear world.

• Shame is its own kind of tax—and we’re not paying it anymore.

• A “refund” can be money, time, or mental clarity — anything that gives you relief or energy back.

• You don’t need to fix everything; just move toward it. Tiny actions = real refunds.

Pick one refund to claim — financial, emotional, or energetic.
