Anyway, I Have ADHD

Ever gone from “I love this” to “burn it all down” because of one tiny mistake? Same. In this episode of Anyway, I Have ADHD , Han gets into rage quitting, sensory overload, and why the ADHD brain can treat mild frustration like a full-blown emergency. We’re talking about the time she shut down an entire candle business after one spectacularly bad night, crochet projects unravelled into oblivion o...

Got a garage full of scuba gear you've used four times? A sewing machine that's never been switched on? Welcome to the hobby graveyard, and no, it's not a discipline problem. This week Han opens up her own graveyard (scuba gear, crochet, knitting, jewellery making, a whole vegan society, a candle business, and yes, chickens) and gets into the actual brain science behind why ADHD brains...

Ten minutes for a full face of makeup. Twenty-five minutes to pick a top. This week Han breaks down why ADHD brains genuinely can't tell those two numbers apart, and it's not a discipline problem. In this episode: Why "I'm basically ready" is the biggest lie Han tells herself daily The actual dopamine mechanism behind ADHD time blindness (striatum, internal clock, dyschronome...

This week we're talking about the doom pile, the fully sorted, completely finished in your head task that somehow becomes permanent furniture in your house.

In this episode Why a doom pile isn't a laziness problem, it's task paralysis, and the diff...

This week we're talking about the bit nobody warns you about after diagnosis, telling people. Who actually needs to know, how to say it without writing a TED talk, and what to do when someone reacts like you've confessed to a crime. Plus the actual research behind why some of the pushback lines land harder than they should. In this episode: Who actually needs to know your diagnosis, and wh...

This week we're talking about the grief nobody warns you about after an ADHD diagnosis. Not grief for a person, grief for the years, the friendships, and the version of yourself you could've been if someone had caught this decades earlier. Plus the story of the friendship blow-up that changed how Han understood herself completely. In this episode: Why post-diagnosis grief is real, research...

This week we're sorting the pile on non-medication ADHD support - what's backed by real research, what's promising but not proven yet, and what's just expensive vibes. Plus a very honest tour of Han's productivity system graveyard (RIP, Filofax) and why traditional planners were never built for ADHD brains in the first place. In this episode: Han's productivity system grave...

You got a script - or you're about to - and nobody fully explained what you're actually taking. This week Han breaks down every ADHD medication available in Australia, how they work in your brain, what the PBS means for your wallet, and why the prescribing system is the way it is.

A diet pill made Han calm. A doctor asked about coffee. And thirty one years of thinking she just had a difficult personality suddenly made a lot more sense. In this episode Han shares her late diagnosis story and breaks down why stimulants affect ADHD brains so differently - and why so many women and girls get missed for so long. In this episode: Why stimulants have the opposite effect on ADHD br...
