300th EPISODE, BABY!!!! Today, I’m sitting down with Maddie Novy, a teacher who also has ADHD, to talk about what it’s really like to juggle the demands of a classroom while managing this unique brain.

Maddie shares her story, including:

1. Her personal ADHD journey and how she’s handled medication ups and downs.
2. The challenges of planning and problem-solving as an educator (spoiler: it’s not easy!).
3. How perfectionism has shown up in her work—and what she’s doing to overcome it.
4. The art of staying emotionally regulated while working with kids who are full of BIG feelings.

If you’re an educator with ADHD, or just curious about how to thrive in a challenging profession with this diagnosis, you’re going to love this conversation. Maddie’s insight and encouragement will leave you feeling seen and supported.

It’s just me today, y’all, and you know what that means—it’s going to be a wild ride! Buckle up, because in this solo episode of the I Have ADHD Podcast, I’m diving into the juicy (and sometimes chaotic) topic of following through when you have ADHD. Spoiler alert: it’s HARD. But don’t worry, I've got some tips for you.

I’m sharing my personal struggles, some real talk about why it’s so tough for us ADHDers to follow through, and how we can start shifting that narrative.

We’re talking about:
✨ Why having a clear vision matters.
✨ How to find your “why” (because motivation doesn’t just show up on its own).
✨ The art of saying NO (and meaning it).
✨ Emotional regulation—because meltdowns, anyone?

It’s just you, me, and my unfiltered ADHD brain on full display. There’s laughter, honesty, a little oversharing, and—most importantly—practical tips you can actually use TODAY.

If you’ve ever struggled with starting, finishing, or following through on literally anything, this episode is for you. Let’s figure this out together. Press play now and enjoy the ride!

Ever feel like the world just doesn't get what’s happening inside your brain? In this episode of the I Have ADHD Podcast, I sit down with my client and colleague Dr. Priyanka Rao, and we dive headfirst into the wild, twisty world of ADHD and autism—especially how it shows up in women.

We’re talking about the real stuff—like why it’s so dang hard to get diagnosed, the silent battles happening behind the scenes, and why neurodiversity-affirming care is a game-changer (spoiler: it’s life-changing). Dr. Rao opens up about her late-in-life diagnosis and lets us in on what she wished she knew sooner.

Oh, and hormones? Yep, they’re in the mix too. We cover how they mess with ADHD, the overlap with autism, and—most importantly—how you can speak up and advocate for yourself during assessments.

I also unpack some heavy hitters: perfectionism (ugh), why self-diagnosis is totally valid, and how the mental health field needs to step it up when it comes to cultural competence and understanding neurodivergent brains.

This episode is packed with insights, personal stories, and practical tips to help you feel seen, heard, and ready to take on the world (or at least that overdue to-do list).

In this episode, I sit down AGAIN with the amazing Dr. Jessica McCarthy to dive into the wild, messy, and beautiful world of parenting with ADHD.

We’re getting real about emotional regulation (for us and our kids), that constant dance between connection and control, and why making repairs with our kiddos is pure magic.

We unpack the unique challenges ADHD parents face—like, why is parenting so dang hard sometimes?! Plus, we talk about how having some kind of framework (even if we ADHD-ify it) can be a lifesaver. Oh, and teaching emotional regulation to our kids? Yep, it’s as hard as it sounds, but we’ve got thoughts on that too.

There’s also a lot of love for being flexible, giving yourself grace, and remembering that developmental appropriateness isn’t just a buzzword – it’s key to surviving the rollercoaster of parenting. If you’ve ever felt like you’re screwing it all up, this episode is here to remind you that you’re not alone—and you’re probably doing better than you think.

Grab your coffee (or hide in the pantry for a little break) and let’s dive in!

A few months ago, I shared an Instagram reel about the struggle ADHDers have when it comes to hearing, and THOUSANDS of you responded. If you relate to the phrase, "I can hear but I can't HEAR", you're going to get so much out of this episode! Today we're discussing the intersection of auditory processing issues and ADHD, emphasizing the common struggles faced by adults with ADHD in processing verbal information.

Since this is a solo episode, we get into lots of other topics, too, but you know that means you gotta buckle up because a wild ride is about to be had by all!
