What if the overwhelm, decision fatigue, clutter struggles, and “why can’t I just get started?” moments you’ve carried for decades weren’t character flaws — but ADHD you never knew you had?

In this episode of Grandma Has ADHD, Jami sits down with ADHD coach and Taking Control: The ADHD Podcast co-host Nikki Kinzer for a warm, validating, and eye-opening conversation about life with ADHD after 50 — including why so many women are discovering their symptoms later in life.

Nikki’s story is unique. She doesn’t have ADHD herself — but she built a career helping adults with ADHD long before she realized her own family members (including her daughter and husband) had it too. Between coaching, her planning membership, and co-authoring the book Unapologetically ADHD with co-host Pete Wright, Nikki brings years of insight that blend compassion, structure, and real-world experience.

Together, Jami and Nikki talk through everything from perimenopause and worsening symptoms, to downsizing and decluttering with an ADHD brain, to why asking your adult child to help you move is almost always a terrible idea.

This episode is filled with “oh my gosh, that’s me” moments — especially if you’ve spent your life feeling chronically overwhelmed, misunderstood, or ashamed of the clutter you can never seem to get ahead of.

If you’re over 50, newly diagnosed, or just starting to wonder whether ADHD has been quietly steering your life for years… this conversation will help you feel seen, supported, and so much less alone.

ADHD doesn’t disappear with age. But neither does the chance to understand yourself better.
