Episode #384: Do It the Easy Way (The Hard Way Is Keeping You Stuck)
In this episode, we’re talking about the path of least resistance — and why for ADHD brains, it’s not laziness. It’s strategy. Not the A+ version. Not the neurotypical version. The version you can actually do.
Episode #382: You Are Not a F*ck Up with Cate Osborn and Erik Gude
I’m hanging out with old friends of the podcast Cate Osborn and Erik Gude, two of the most creative, thoughtful, and FUN voices in the ADHD world. And this conversation goes everywhere in the best possible way.
Episode #380: What If It’s Not Just Picky Eating? ARFID in ADHD & Autism Explained
In this episode, we’re diving into something I really wish I had known about sooner: ARFID (Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder) 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 food experiences.
Episode #378: Sensational Headlines vs. Science: ADHD Under Attack (Again)
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.
Episode #376: When ADHD Looks Like Freeze: You’re Not Lazy, You’re Overwhelmed
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 often develops especially for those who grew up criticized, emotionally unsafe, unsupported, or chronically overwhelmed. If you’ve ever thought, “I’m not hyper—I’m stuck,” this episode is for you.
Episode #374: 10 Signs of a Healthy, Functional Family (and How We Get There with ADHD)
This is part two of our series on dysfunctional families and ADHD.
Today, we answer the next (and crucial) question: If that’s dysfunction… what does health actually look like? Because knowing what you don’t want isn’t enough. You also need a clear picture of what you’re moving toward.
Episode #372: 10 Signs You’re In A Dysfunctional Family
If you have ADHD, there’s a strong chance your family system shaped how safe it feels to have needs, set boundaries, and regulate emotions. This episode isn’t about blame or shame—it’s about clarity. Awareness is how cycles are interrupted.
Episode #370: PMS, Pregnancy, Perimenopause: How Estrogen Hijacks the ADHD Brain
If you’ve ever felt like your ADHD symptoms fluctuate wildly throughout the month, worsened during pregnancy or postpartum, or suddenly became unmanageable in your late 30s or 40s—this episode explains why. Dr. Quinn breaks down how hormonal changes directly impact neurotransmitters like dopamine and serotonin, and what that means for focus, mood, emotional regulation, and medication effectiveness.
Episode #368: The Hidden Wound of ADHD: Emotional Loneliness at Home with Dr. Lindsay Gibson
This interview originally aired in March 2023, and I’m bringing it back because her work continues to resonate deeply with adults with ADHD. We explore why so many ADHD adults grew up feeling physically cared for—but emotionally alone. This is not a parent-shaming conversation. It’s about clarity, compassion, and naming invisible dynamics so you can stop blaming yourself for struggles that were never yours to fix.
Episode #366: Five Things Doctors Still Get Wrong About ADHD
In this episode, I’m breaking down five research-backed facts about ADHD that should fundamentally change how we think about diagnosis, medication, and long-term care. This episode is about naming what’s broken—so you can advocate for better care, better information, and better support.
