About This Episode

This episode is… very ADHD.

We start with a quick revisit of ARFID after hearing from a listener who shared a powerful personal experience. Then we dive into your voicemails—covering everything from the heavy question of how to repair damage we worry we’ve done to our kids, to a very relatable struggle: emotional “doom piles.”

And because no ADHD episode would be complete without a little delightful distraction, we wrap things up by watching some hilarious ADHD reels together.

It’s thoughtful, honest, a little chaotic, and full of those “wait… is this just me?” moments. If you’ve ever had a brain that jumps track mid-sentence, you’ll feel right at home here.
