141. Rejection Sensitivity & ADHD: Handling Criticism Without the Spiral
Send us a text In this episode, we’re tackling rejection sensitivity with ADHD — aka why one tiny bit of criticism can send us into a full Olympic-level spiral.

139. ADHD and the Art of Never Actually Relaxing
Send us a text This week we’re talking about the cruel irony of ADHD!!! How we’ll spend days hyperfocusing on building the perfect relaxing space — gardens, patios, pergolas… you name it (haha) and then never actually sit down to enjoy it. Because the moment we try to rest, our brains hit us with a to-do list longer than the IKEA instructions we never followed. 🧠✨ If you’ve ever hyperfixed on a task just to “earn” relaxation only to end up reorganizing the garage or starting a new DIY proje...

138. ADHD and Perfectionism (Oops, I Perfected Nothing)
Send us a text This week we’re tackling the chaos cocktail that is ADHD + perfectionism. You know, that magical combo where you obsess over every detail, waste loads of time and then suddenly decide “It's dead to me” at 75% and never either finish it, or rush your way through the last 20% with no f**ks given?!!! We’re talking all-or-nothing thinking, the fear of not doing it perfectly, and how we somehow manage to procrastinate AND care way too much. It’s messy and it’s frustrating, but wha...

134: ADHD – The “Start Everything, Finish Nothing” Struggle
Send us a text This week, we’re diving into one of the most frustrating ADHD habits: starting a million things… and finishing none of them.
