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:

1. Why ADHD is so hard to explain (even for ADHDers)
2. The top 3 things people with ADHD wish their loved ones knew
3. The top 3 things they need from you
4. 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.

Hey ADHDer, summer isn’t over over… and you haven’t wasted it. In this gentle, reflective episode, we’re talking about the emotional soup of August: regret over what didn’t get done, sadness that the magic is fading, dread of back-to-school chaos, and the last-minute urgency to squeeze it all in.

If you're feeling a swirl of emotions right now, this episode is your soft place to land.

We’ll:

1. Reflect on what actually did happen this summer (yes, even the tiny wins!)
2. Laugh together over my annual last-minute school supply scramble
3. Talk about why transitions feel so hard for ADHD brains
4. Look ahead to fall with intention, not panic

ADHD TIP: Your brain may want to fixate on what you didn’t do. But let’s pause and name what you did. Because it matters. You’re not behind. You’re not doing life wrong. You’re a beautifully wired human doing your best. Let’s mark this transition with grace, not guilt.

AG 1 by Athletic Greens

I’m joined again today by my favorite human—my husband, Greg! Together, we pull back the curtain on what it’s really like to raise neurodivergent kids, how our parenting style has evolved over the years, and why we’ve chosen a low-demand, emotionally supportive approach in our home.

We talk candidly about:

1. When we decided to get our kids evaluated (and how we did it)
2. Whether or not we medicate—and why
3. What low-demand parenting looks like in real life
4. How we navigate screen time (without losing our minds)
5. Our journey of regulating ourselves so we can show up for our kids
6. How we accommodate and support each of our unique kids, especially those with PDA traits

This is a vulnerable, honest, and hopeful conversation between two very imperfect parents figuring it out as we go—and choosing connection over control as much as possible.

Whether you're raising neurodivergent kids or just want a peek into our home life, we hope this episode leaves you feeling seen, supported, and a little less alone.
