  • 350 From Cemetery Shifts to a Career That Fits: Matt’s ADHD Comeback Story
    Nov 11 2025

    If you’ve ever wondered “Will it ever happen for me?” this episode is your proof of yes. A year after sharing his story of unemployment and underemployment (Ep. 291), listener favorite Matt Cicarelli is back with the update we all needed: he landed a job he loves—at a human, trust-based agency that actually gets ADHD—and he’s sharing how it happened.


    What you’ll hear

    1. The zig-zag path to “the right job”: grocery store shifts, cemetery work, and the random roadside sign that led to a warm intro and a great offer.
    2. Why environment is everything: from walking on eggshells to being trusted, asking “basic” questions without shame, and dropping the exhausting mask at work.
    3. ADHD at work, for real: how a boss who understands neurodiversity changes productivity, confidence, and day-to-day calm.
    4. Emotional regulation in the wild: Matt’s 30 years as a basketball referee, what happens when emotions are contagious, and the skills he’s practicing to not “take the bait” at home.
    5. Growth without perfection: self-trust, defensiveness dialed down, and the slow, steady GPS moving in the right direction.

    Why you’ll love it

    This is the episode that makes you exhale. Matt’s story is honest, funny, and deeply relatable—especially if you’ve faked it at work, white-knuckled through interviews, or wondered if you’ll ever find a place where you can be yourself and still thrive. Press play now!

  • 348 Too Bored to Function: Why ADHD Brains Would Rather Do Anything Than Be Bored
    Nov 4 2025

    Ever felt so bored you’d rather do anything — even something you’ll regret — just to avoid that restless, agitated feeling? In this episode, Dr. Marcy Caldwell breaks down why boredom feels like torture, what’s really happening in the brain and body, and why ADHDers crave stimulation (even the bad kind sometimes).


    We dig into:


    1. The two types of boredom — apathetic vs. agitated
    2. What the “optimal stimulation zone” actually means
    3. Why boredom spikes stress hormones like cortisol
    4. And practical ways to manage boredom without blowing up your life for excitement


    Dr. Caldwell brings her signature mix of neuroscience and real-world wisdom to help us understand — and work with — our restless, stimulation-seeking brains.
