In this week’s episode of the ADHD Women’s Wellbeing Wisdom podcast, I revisit a powerful conversation with Moe Ari Brown, a licensed marriage and family therapist, Hinge’s love and connection expert, and board member of the It Gets Better Project. Moe brings their depth of clinical insight and lived experience to help us unpack the realities of ADHD and modern dating.

Together, we explore what it really means to date with ADHD, from emotional regulation and Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria (RSD) to managing the overwhelm of dating apps and embracing self-love.
