Whether you're juggling work, family, or the endless to-do lists, this episode is a reminder that you're not alone in feeling overwhelmed—and there are strategies that can help.

Becca dives into the often-overlooked challenges of sensory overload and how understanding these hidden triggers can reshape the way we approach ADHD. 

She also tackles the misconceptions around anxiety and ADHD, exploring how the growing awareness of these topics has brought much-needed clarity and practical tools to better manage both.
