Catie and Erik's Infinite Quest: An ADHD Adventure

In this episode, Cate and Erik sit down to delve (again) into the sticky, sticky world of 'I'm Sorry, Did You Say Street Magic?'. But that's not all! We're also diving deep into the realm of creativity and conquering the hurdles of feeling stuck, especially when dealing with ADHD.

In this episode of Infinite Quest, Cate and Erik sit down to dicuss one of the worst feelings in the world: that nagging feeling of "was I supposed to be somewhere?" For both Cate and Erik this week, that answer is yes. We discuss that feeling, and how to combat it, along with the wicked case of the yips we developed after our mid-summer break.  Learn more about Geek Therapeutics' tr...

In this episode, Cate has a CRISIS (tm) about time (or the lack of it) and how one thing can lead to one thing to one thing to one thing until the avalanche of all the stuff you haven't done hits you in the ass. Erik talks about his newest invention, and together, Cate and Erik talk about the future of Infinite Quest's gaming endeavors. Learn more about Geek Therapeutics' training cour...

In this episode, Cate and Erik sit down to answer a 'pie in the sky' question- what would you do if you have unlimited access to money, time and resources to support your ADHD? Cate talks about pile-on task management, Erik talks task debt, and they discuss the difference between starting and overwhelm with task management and ADHD. Learn more about Geek Therapeutics' training courses,...

In this episode, Cate and Erik sit down to discuss laziness, learned incompetence, and ADHD, and how things like emotional dysregulation, executive function and even trauma can become an untenable "Laundry Mountain". Cate has an honestly pretty significant podcast breakthrough, Erik busts out some Fancy Words, and they come up with a new plan to get past ADHD paralysis and into a functio...

In this Episode, Cate and Erik continue on their "I'm Sorry Did You Say Street Magic" journey with the next part of what happens to the world of Senoia Springs, the McManamans, and several other new friends. They also encounter, in real time, ADHD challenges of staying on track and staying focused when the picture gets too big and ideas get too overwhelming. We also take a couple of...

In this episode, Cate and Erik get back to gaming with a trial-run game of I'm Sorry Did You Say Street Magic by Caro Asercion. We explore a mysterious town where there's trouble in the water, and discuss some of what makes world-building and storytelling TTRPGs so appealing to our ADHD brains.

In this episode of Infinite Quest, Cate and Erik return from an ADHD-detail induced overwhelm hiatus and *ease* back into Infinite Quest by performing what Cate is pretty sure are two Infinite Quest firsts, back to back, neither of which are what we'd call "family friendly". Cate tells the story of her once-arch-nemesis, and Erik spends most of the podcast in detention.

In this episode, Cate and Erik sit down (finally) get back down to Infinite Quest business with a very meandering episode. Cate has anxiety about meandering and Erik has *feelings*, and we discuss the pros and cons of drawing genitalia on various planetary bodies and how sometimes being honest can be a bit messy.

In part one of this two-part episode, Cate and Erik sit down to talk about some of the more difficult and stigmatized issues that face ADHDers, in particular, hygiene. Showering, teeth brushing, cleaning our kitchens- all of those are tasks that require executive function (and, in Cate's case, working anti-depressants) to happen, which is NOT happening for us this week. Also Cate makes Infinite Qu...

Just to be clear, you do not have to have seen Burnt to enjoy this episode, but it helps. In this episode, Cate and Erik sit down to make a podcast and accidentally wind up making one about how much they hated Netflix's 'Burnt', starring Bradley Cooper, who is a very good actor in a very, very bad movie. Erik unpacks toxic masculinity and the expectations put on men in media and Cate spends a weir...

In this episode, Cate and Erik sit down to talk about ADHD and changes to routine but in all honesty it kind of turns into a weird conversation about how bad Cate is at going to the gym and why. We discuss the challenges of neurodivergency in the very public arena of gym-going and how a single task can suddenly become a stack of 50 with little warning.

In this episode, Cate and Erik sit down to discuss the challenges of challenges becoming more challenging challenges by way of compounding complications. It makes more sense when you listen. They discuss the ups and downs of the holiday season, the pressures of remembering details and how quickly little tasks can become big tasks when you're living life with ADHD.

In this episode, Cate and Erik come clean (get it? See what I did there?) about the role that mess & clutter play in their lives. They talk about the thought process that keeps clutter happening and what it's like to live in the liminal space of "all or nothing thinking". Cate also spends a weird amount of time talking about "aesthetic". Not a lot of solutions in this one, but a lot of honesty aro...

In this from-the-bed episode, Cate says "horny" a record number of times in a single podcast and also Erik talks about chemistry and how it led him to the perfect pesto recipe. They discuss how hyperfixations have shaped their past, present and future and set out to share their favorite hyperfixations, but, like most episodes, don't exactly get to the point. Do you like the work we do? Don't forge...

In this episode, Cate and Erik sit down to talk about one of the hardest parts of the ADHD experience- forgetting really, really important stuff, and the implications and frustrations that come with that. Cate shares a recent debacle and Erik talks long-term planning and ADHD. They discuss the common assumptions made about Neurodivergency and memory and offer a few insights on how to deal. Do you...

In this episode, Cate and Erik catch up after a couple of weird weeks off of podcasting (and their meds). They discuss the insidious nature of ADHD burnout and what it's like to manage work/life balance as a content creator when life IS content, and Cate manages to shoehorn in how badly she wants to be on Dimension 20 for the 100th time this year.

Welcome back to Infinite Quest Podcast! After a very, very long few weeks, Erik and Cate are finally back in the studio together and trying to ...well, get on top of everything that got dropped during the last ridiculous month. They discuss the challenges of managing and planning time with ADHD, from two very different perspectives.  Erik opens up about the future, Cate opens up about burn-ou...

Welcome back to ADHDnD! In this episode Cate...I mean, Helvetica, gets her Greatest Wish and the team visits a library...and it doesn't exactly go to plan. Blumken does something so adorable that Cate cries in real life, and the team navigates another dangerous area of the ADHDND facility. Our fearless DM, Chris, puts up with a lot of questions about the Dewey Decimal system and we get even closer...

Oh boy! Blumken and Helvetica are back! They got their gear back, but did something just knock out Atticus the Goliath? What's going on? We're getting close to the finale of ADHDnD Season 1, folks.

In this episode, Cate and Erik semi-triumphantly return back from GenCon and settle back into the podcast with a big announcement about trebuchets. The announcement is big, the size of the trebuchet is yet to be determined. We'd say that there is a GenCon update but that's a lie. ---- Consider supporting the work we do by visiting www.patreon.com/infinitequest Erik: www.patreon.com/heygude Cate: m...
