I Have ADHD Podcast

Let’s talk about AI—because I know some of you are curious, some of you are already using it constantly, and some of you are like, “absolutely not.” All fair. In this episode, I’m sharing how tools like ChatGPT can actually support an ADHD brain in real life. Not as a replacement for your thinking, your relationships, or your treatment—but as something that can hold your thoughts, help you get uns...

What if the easiest version of the task is actually the smartest one? In this episode, we’re talking about the path of least resistance — and why for ADHD brains, it’s not laziness. It’s strategy. The path of least resistance is the version of a task that: Requires the least activation energy Uses the least executive function Hurts the least Gets you moving the fastest Not the A+ version. Not the...

In this episode, we’re diving into something I really wish I had known about sooner: ARFID — Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder . ARFID is a serious eating disorder that has nothing to do with body image or weight loss . Instead, it’s driven by things that are incredibly common for ADHD and autistic folks — sensory sensitivities, low appetite, lack of interest, anxiety, and fear of negative...

BUCKLE UP! The next hour is going to be a little wild—in the best way. In today’s episode, I’m answering a couple of your voicemails, diving into emerging research on the link between ADHD and early perimenopause, and responding to a very fear-heavy Wall Street Journal reel about ADHD medication.

In today’s episode, we’re talking about ADHD that looks like overwhelmed and under-functioning: when your brain gets so flooded that it can’t prioritize, and instead of choosing a next step… it shuts down. You’ll learn what overwhelm really is in the context of ADHD (total cognitive, emotional, and/or sensory flooding), why “freeze” can be a very real nervous system response, and how this pattern...

This is part two of our series on dysfunctional families and ADHD. If last week’s episode felt heavy, emotional, or disorienting, that makes sense. Episode one was about naming reality—and naming reality can stir grief, anger, relief, or all three. But we can’t change what we’re not willing to name. Today, we answer the next (and crucial) question: If that’s dysfunction… what does health actually...
