In this must-listen episode, Dr. Marcy Caldwell joins us for a deep dive into the wild and sometimes frustrating world of ADHD. We’re breaking down what ADHD really is (spoiler: it’s NOT just about being distracted), why self-regulation is so tricky, and how masking can leave people feeling exhausted and unseen.

Ever felt like you know what to do but just can’t seem to do it? Yep, we go there. We also tackle the unique ways ADHD shows up in women, the surprising pain of boredom, and the myths that need to be busted ASAP. Plus, we explore what a late diagnosis means—especially for women who’ve spent years wondering, Is it just me? (It’s not.)

If you’ve ever wanted to understand ADHD on a deeper level—whether for yourself or someone you love—this conversation is packed with insights, real talk, and strategies to help ADHD brains thrive. Don’t miss it!
