F*ck The Plan

We talk a lot about how the traditional college path isn't always the right fit for many of us with ADHD—but sometimes, it is the answer, even if we go about it on a different timeline than most. After spending many years building a career in the financial industry, today’s guest made the bold decision to return to school and pursue an MBA—not just to further his own knowledge, but to empower othe...

For many people with ADHD, the world seems designed to highlight their struggles rather than their strengths. But what if you stopped looking at ADHD as a flaw you have to fix, but a set of abilities? A unique way of thinking that, when understood, can become a powerful tool? Please welcome our guest Daniel Lee White, who's here to discuss how he’s learned to work with his ADHD, the relationsh...

At the beginning of 2024, Aaron asked Cass if she would be interested in starting a podcast, and suddenly we really can't believe we've been at this for a whole year already! In our special 1 Year Anniversary episode we celebrate by going through some of your favorite moments and our favorite topics from the past year. We'll also talk about how our lives have changed and reflect on som...

For so many of us, life feels like a script someone else wrote—go to school, get a job, get married, have kids, and somehow make it all work. But what happens when you wake up one day and realize that script was never meant for you? Our guest spent many years following the “right” path - college, marriage, parenting - only to realize that the life she was building wasn’t one that supported HER.  A...

These 5 things might just change your life. The point of our show is learning to live a life you love, one that’s fulfilling and meaningful to you personally, not one that checks boxes off a list to have what everyone else thinks is best for you. We have been on a journey to do just that ourselves, and we thought it was time to condense some of our thoughts and lessons we’ve learned into something...

For those of us who’ve felt different our entire lives - misunderstood, out of place, or like we just don’t fit the mold - finding the right diagnosis can be life-changing. Today’s guest was diagnosed later in life with not only ADHD, but a rare chromosome disorder. For years she struggled with not understanding why life felt harder than it did for those around her, but instead of letting those st...

Even though we don't have children ourselves, we understand that having children and working towards your personal goals can be a very difficult and complicated thing to juggle - logistically and mentally - especially when you add the chaos of ADHD on top of it. This week's guest has ADHD, raises two adorable girls, and still manages to find time to work a day job and pursue her modeling c...

Today's guest has lived all over our vast country, and he's seen a lot on his way to pursuing his acting dreams.

New Year’s Resolutions are bullshit, or at least that’s what a lot of people will tell you. Others will tell you that they really help them make changes….well for the first few weeks of the year at least. It’s a topic that always comes up this time of year, so we want to answer the question of why they never seem to work, share the top 5 new years resolutions, the top 5 abandoned resolutions, and...

Please welcome Dylan Titus and Mario Lima of Connery Curious to a special 2 hour BONUS episode of F*ck The Plan! Our show is about living a life you love, whatever that may look like, and our guests today know a thing or two about working on their passion projects.

Anxiety is something that often goes hand in hand with ADHD, and this week's guest is no stranger to that struggle. In spite of the challenges he’s faced in life, he’s toured with bands all over the world, been on a TV show, started a family, and launched a clothing brand that brings awareness to mental health issues. Join us as we hear about what drives Vinnie to prove everyone wrong and show the...

Life is difficult, and it’s hard to keep up on things especially when you have ADHD. We love starting projects and it’s easy to get as far as the dopamine rush will take us, but eventually the newness wears off and we’re left feeling like we wasted time. On top of that, the daily grind of just getting through every day really wears on you after a while, and it gets so hard to keep up the motivatio...

If you have ADHD you have probably spent a lot of your life wondering why you are the way you are. When you do get diagnosed, especially later in life, it’s freeing feeling to know that you're not alone and there’s a whole community of people out there dealing with the same struggles. In this episode, we talk with Russ Jones about that feeling of community we share and how powerful it can be f...

We have always advocated for clinical ADHD treatment, and have also heard many good things about ADHD Coaching.

Learn more about Seth Rotman at https://www.clarifywellness.coach/ If you enjoy the...

You are wrong, and that’s a good thing. We have been taught by society and culture what we "should" and "shouldn’t" do with our lives, but those who have ADHD often have a very hard time with doing it this way. Instead we need to re-learn the right way for US and allow ourselves to pursue it. If you enjoy the show please consider supporting us with Listener Support! ________ 👇...

On the other side, the drawbacks of ADHD are debilitating to many, and lead to great challenges in our lives. Where do you land on the issue? Is your ADHD a blessing, a curse, or somewhere in...
