  • 333 Want to Stay Behind Forever? Keep Ignoring Your Capacity
    Sep 9 2025

    Think your problem is poor time management? Think again. If your color-coded calendar keeps failing you, the missing piece isn’t another app, planner, or hack—it’s capacity.

    In this episode, we’re digging into why ADHD brains chronically overbook, underestimate, and run ourselves into the ground. You’ll learn:

    1. The hidden reason productivity hacks don’t stick
    2. Why “fantasy scheduling” feels so good (but always backfires)
    3. How to spot your real mental, emotional, and physical limits
    4. A simple shift that helps you build a schedule you can actually keep

    If you’re tired of chasing unicorn days and shaming yourself when reality doesn’t match the plan, this conversation will change how you see time management forever. Hit play and start planning for real life—not the fantasy version of it.

  • 328 Did You Waste Your Summer? Here's Your 'August Panic' Survival Guide
    Aug 5 2025

    Hey ADHDer, summer isn’t over over… and you haven’t wasted it. In this gentle, reflective episode, we’re talking about the emotional soup of August: regret over what didn’t get done, sadness that the magic is fading, dread of back-to-school chaos, and the last-minute urgency to squeeze it all in.

    If you're feeling a swirl of emotions right now, this episode is your soft place to land.

    We’ll:

    1. Reflect on what actually did happen this summer (yes, even the tiny wins!)
    2. Laugh together over my annual last-minute school supply scramble
    3. Talk about why transitions feel so hard for ADHD brains
    4. Look ahead to fall with intention, not panic

    ADHD TIP: Your brain may want to fixate on what you didn’t do. But let’s pause and name what you did. Because it matters. You’re not behind. You’re not doing life wrong. You’re a beautifully wired human doing your best. Let’s mark this transition with grace, not guilt.
