About this listen

Why does everything feel so hard? In this painfully honest episode, Rox and Rich unpack the everyday struggles of “being a grown-up” with ADHD—from brushing your teeth to answering emails to keeping your house from turning into chaos. They talk about the crushing shame of falling behind on life admin, the emotional toll of forgetting simple things, and the silent pressure of pretending you’ve got it all together.

Rox shares what it’s like to feel like a bad adult almost every day, and Rich opens up about how he’s learned to support her without judgment. Together, they explore what’s really behind the meltdown over laundry, the panic over unopened letters, and the guilt that follows every unfinished task.

This episode is for anyone who’s ever felt broken by the basics. You’re not lazy, you’re not alone—and there is a way through. Let this be your permission slip to drop the shame and find your own version of functioning.
